The series combines a compact 1.6 \u00d7 0.8\u00a0mm footprint with low DC resistance and rated current capability of up to 5\u00a0A, supporting EMI control without increasing conduction losses in dense PCB layouts.<\/p><p>As automotive and industrial electronic systems continue to increase in current density, designers are required to manage conducted and radiated noise within shrinking board areas while maintaining thermal margins and meeting qualification requirements. Conventional ferrite beads may limit current handling or introduce excessive DC resistance, creating tradeoffs between EMI suppression effectiveness and power efficiency. These constraints are amplified in high\u2011density assemblies where available routing and component placement options are limited. The MH1608A Series is intended to address these design pressures by supporting higher current levels in a small, automotive\u2011qualified package.<\/p><p><em>\u201cHigh\u2011current automotive designs often require EMI suppression components that do not become a thermal or electrical bottleneck,\u201d said Edward Liu, Product Line Manager, Magnetics at Bourns. \u201cThe MH1608A Series is designed to support higher current handling in a compact footprint while meeting AEC\u2011Q200 requirements, which helps simplify component selection in dense automotive layouts.\u201d<\/em><br \/><strong>\u2014 Edward Liu, Director of Magnetic Components at Bourns<\/strong><\/p><h2 style=\"margin: 30px 0px 10px; font-family: myriad-pro-semi-condensed, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.2; color: #222222; font-style: normal; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Design Features and Key Capabilities<\/strong><\/h2><ul><li>Compact 1608 package \u2014 1.6 \u00d7 0.8 \u00d7 0.8 mm size supports high\u2011density PCB layouts<\/li><li>High rated current capability \u2014 supports up to 5 A depending on impedance value<\/li><li>Low DC resistance \u2014 minimizes power loss and temperature rise at rated current<\/li><li>Wide impedance range \u2014 30 \u03a9 to 1000 \u03a9 at 100 MHz for broadband noise suppression<\/li><li>\u2022 Quality and reliability \u2014 automotive grade and AEC-Q200 compliant for electronic systems<\/li><li>Environmental compliance \u2014 RoHS compliant* and halogen free**<\/li><\/ul><h2 style=\"margin: 30px 0px 10px; font-family: myriad-pro-semi-condensed, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.2; color: #222222; font-style: normal; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Electrical Specifications<\/strong><\/h2><table><tbody><tr><th>Parameter<\/th><th>Range<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Impedance @ 100 MHz<\/td><td>30 \u03a9 \u2013 1000 \u03a9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DC Resistance (max.)<\/td><td>0.02 \u03a9 \u2013 0.20 \u03a9<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rated Current (max.)<\/td><td>1 A \u2013 5 A<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Operating Temperature<\/td><td>\u221255 \u00b0C \u2013 +150 \u00b0C<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Package Size<\/td><td>1.6 \u00d7 0.8 \u00d7 0.8 mm<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p><strong>Target Applications<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>EMI suppression in automotive power supplies<\/li><li>High\u2011density automotive PCB assemblies<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Availability<\/strong><br \/>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bourns.com\/docs\/product-datasheets\/mh1608a.pdf?sfvrsn=cfbd35f6_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lf-fd-inspected-p1e024bkz0xagb6d=\"true\">MH1608A Series High Current Chip Ferrite Beads\u00a0<\/a>are available now through Bourns\u2019 authorized distribution network.
