ZCAT6819-5230D

Overview

The TDK ZCAT6819-5230D is a hinged ferrite clamp-on core designed for flat ribbon cables. It features a gray case and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component provides an impedance of 35 Ohms at frequencies between 50 MHz and 500 MHz. Its internal dimensions accommodate a cable width of 52.00 mm and a thickness of 1.30 mm, with an outer diameter of 2.657 inches. The unit weighs 58.4 grams and is packaged in bulk quantities of 160 pieces.

Feature Summary

• Hinged snap-on design allows for installation on existing cables without disconnection
• Specifically engineered for flat ribbon cables up to 52mm width
• Double-sided tape fixed variant available for secure attachment

Applications

• EMI suppression for flat ribbon cables in electronic assemblies
• Noise filtering for high-speed data transmission lines
• Compliance enhancement for electromagnetic interference standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (D vs DT) to confirm the mounting method, as the D version is hinged while the DT version includes double-sided tape. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration. Check current lifecycle status, as some variants may be marked as Not Recommended for New Designs. Ensure the cable dimensions strictly match the 52mm width and 1.3mm thickness specifications to guarantee proper fit and performance.

Selection Notes

Select this model when dealing with flat ribbon cables requiring snap-on accessibility. The 35 Ohm impedance rating suits applications in the 50 MHz to 500 MHz range. Consider the DT variant if adhesive fixation is preferred over the hinged mechanism. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C meets environmental requirements. Ensure the physical size fits within the available space constraints of the target assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TDK ZCAT series of ferrite clamp-on cores. These products are designed to suppress common-mode noise in cable assemblies. The ZCAT6819-5230D specifically targets flat cable geometries, distinguishing it from cylindrical core variants. It serves as a passive filter element to enhance signal integrity by attenuating high-frequency interference.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative ferrite cores based on impedance curves and physical dimensions.
