ZCAT4625-3430D

Overview

The ZCAT4625-3430D is a hinged ferrite clamp-on core designed for flat ribbon cables. It features a ferrite core material with an internal length of 34.1 mm, external length of 45.5 mm, external width of 24.5 mm, and external height of 12 mm. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and provides an impedance of 35 ohms at frequencies between 50MHz and 500MHz.

Feature Summary

• Hinged snap-on design allows installation on existing cable assemblies without disconnection
• Specifically engineered for flat ribbon cables with defined cross-sectional dimensions
• Provides electromagnetic interference suppression in the high-frequency range

Applications

• Suppression of common-mode noise on flat data cables
• EMI reduction in computer peripheral connections
• Signal integrity enhancement in high-speed digital interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify current lifecycle status as the base model may be obsolete. Confirm if the black variant (ZCAT4625-3430D-BK) is required for specific environmental or aesthetic needs. Ensure the flat cable dimensions match the specified internal width and height before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this part when dealing with flat ribbon cables rather than round wires. Verify that the cable thickness fits within the 1.3mm internal height constraint. Consider the operating temperature range requirements for the specific deployment environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of ferrite clamp-on cores. These are distinct from split-core beads as they feature a hinged case mechanism. The series offers various sizes tailored for different cable geometries and impedance requirements.

Replacement Considerations

The manufacturer lists ZCAT4625-3430D as obsolete with no guaranteed interchangeable substitute. Check for the ZCAT4625-3430D-BK variant which shares similar specifications but includes a black casing finish.
