TDK’s KPZ1608-HR series ferrite beads were designed with innovative soft termination technology to offer high reliability under harsh conditions, even at high temperatures up to +150°C. The KPZ1608-HR series is qualified to AEC‐Q200 and their compact size and robustness makes them ideal for use in demanding automotive applications such as in-vehicle electronic control units (ECUs), powertrains, body controls, and car multimedia (telematics). The external electrodes of the KPZ1608-HR series feature a conductive resin layer that offers effective protection against board flexure and solder cracks due to mechanical stress during mounting and thermal shock during operation. The KPZ1608-HR series consist of the S material type, which features impedance characteristics similar to those of a typical ferrite core. Impedance values within the KMZ1608-HR series were selected for effectiveness at 40 MHz to 300 MHz.
