SAN DIEGO, Calif., November 14, 2012 — AEM, Inc. announces the immediate availability of its DSCC-approved line of ferrite chip beads designed for ultra-high-reliability applications. The HRB Series is the first and only line of ferrite beads manufactured with qualified materials and tested to compliance with DSCC drawing 03024, which prescribes the stringent physical, electrical and operational specifications for high-reliability ferrite chip shielding beads.

The HRB Series devices are available in EIA 0603, 0805, and 1206 package sizes with current ratings from 0.2A to 4.0A. They have an operating temperature range of -55 ºC to 125 ºC, have tin/lead or gold, Ni-barrier solder-plated terminations to eliminate the possibility of tin whisker formation and to ensure reliable solder joints.
