ZCAT3035-1330-BK

Overview

The TDK ZCAT3035-1330-BK is a round ferrite clamp-on core designed for cable EMI suppression. It features a hinged plastic case with a self-locking mechanism for secure installation on cables up to 13 mm in diameter. Constructed from Material 30, it provides high impedance across the 100 MHz to 500 MHz frequency range. The unit measures 39 mm in length, 30 mm in outer diameter, and has an inner diameter of 13 mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Hinged design with self-holding mechanism prevents cable slippage during operation
• Material 30 composition ensures effective absorption of common-mode electromagnetic interference
• Large core dimensions prevent saturation under high signal surge conditions

Applications

• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) absorption for industrial equipment
• Noise suppression for consumer electronics such as personal computers and displays
• Filtering for digital telephones, audio devices, and video game consoles

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '-BK' denotes the black color variant if visual identification is required for assembly. Confirm compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations as stated in official documentation. Ensure the selected part matches the exact Material 30 specification for the intended frequency response. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor lists to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a split-core solution is necessary for retrofitting existing cabling without disconnection. The 13 mm aperture accommodates standard power and data cables. Material 30 is suitable for suppressing noise in the VHF/UHF bands. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +85°C thermal limits to maintain magnetic performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of clamp-on ferrite cores. The series utilizes unique plastic housings to facilitate easy installation on various cable types. These cores are engineered to provide superior high-frequency EMC absorption capabilities while maintaining signal integrity for connected devices.

Replacement Considerations

The ZCAT3035-1330 is the base model for the ZCAT3035-1330-BK. Substitution requires matching the 13 mm inner diameter, 30 mm outer diameter, 39 mm length, and Material 30 composition. Ensure any alternative part supports the same hinged installation mechanism and impedance characteristics at 100 MHz.
