ZCAT3035-1330

Overview

The TDK ZCAT3035-1330 is a hinged ferrite clamp-on core designed for EMI suppression on cables with an internal diameter of 13 mm. It features a round shape and utilizes TDK's Material 30 composition to provide high-frequency noise absorption. The unit measures 30 mm in outer diameter and 39 mm in length, including the cable tie lug. Impedance characteristics include 70 Ω at 25 MHz, 80 Ω at 50 MHz, and 130–150 Ω across the 100 MHz to 500 MHz range. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Hinged design with self-locking mechanism for easy installation around existing cables without disconnection.
• Material 30 composition provides effective common-mode EMC absorption in high-frequency ranges.
• Large core dimensions prevent saturation during high signal surges.
• Integrated cable tie lug secures the filter firmly to the cable.

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 electronic musical instruments
• EMI reduction for video game consoles, copiers, and fax machines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific impedance value required for your application, as sources list both 130 Ω and 150 Ω at 100 MHz. Confirm the physical length requirement, noting that the total length including the tie lug is 39 mm while the core body is approximately 34 mm. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your manufacturing process. Check packaging details, as bulk quantities may vary by distributor.

Selection Notes

Select this component when retrofitting EMI filters onto cables with diameters up to 13 mm. The hinged design allows for post-assembly installation, making it suitable for finished goods or field repairs. Choose Material 30 for applications requiring significant attenuation between 25 MHz and 500 MHz. Consider the external dimensions (30 mm OD x 39 mm length) to ensure adequate clearance in the final assembly.
