MH4516-600Y

Ferrites, or ceramic magnetic materials, are frequently used in electronics, especially for applications with high-frequency signal processing and electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression. The MH4516-600Y ferrite bead is one of the most highly regarded components in the ferrite bead range, offering an effective solution to EMI suppression for circuits with frequencies of up to several hundred megahertz.

The MH4516-600Y is a four-terminal, 0603-sized chip ferrite bead. It is commonly used in decoupling and transient voltage suppression (TVS) applications. It can also help circuits maintain good impedances in the presence of EMI. This is because it acts as a low-impedance path to ground, allowing any EMI-caused spikes in voltage to be discharged. This is particularly advantageous for circuit designs requiring high levels of EMI suppression in environments with strong interference.

The MH4516-600Y ferrite bead utilizes a precision clip-type mounting system. This ensures reliable mounting and positioning of the bead, making it easy to install with minimal effort. The MH4516-600Y has a maximum operating temperature of 125 °C, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments. It also has a maximum current rating of 1.2A, a maximum impedance of 40Ω at 10MHz, and a dissipative factor of 0.3.

The working principle of the MH4516-600Y ferrite bead is simple. When high-frequency signals are introduced into the system, the bead acts as an inductor, limiting the current due to the inductive reactance. It also works as a capacitor when low-frequency signals are present, limiting current through the capacitive reactance. The combination of the inductive and capacitive effects allows for effective EMI suppression while maintaining good impedance.

The MH4516-600Y ferrite bead is an ideal choice for high-end electronic applications that require robust performance in the presence of EMI. It is easy to install and is highly reliable in a wide range of conditions. This makes it the go-to component for anything requiring EMI suppression, from commercial to military electronics. Its small size and high performance make it a very popular choice for circuit designers.
