HRB0603S151K.400FT

Chip Ferrite Bead Overview

The AEM HRB0603S151K.400FT is a high-reliability ferrite chip bead in a 0603 (1608 metric) surface-mount package. It provides an impedance of 150 ohms with a tolerance of +/-10% at 100 MHz. The component supports a maximum DC current of 400 mA and has a maximum DC resistance of 250 milliohms. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Chip Ferrite Bead Feature Summary

• Manufactured in a QPL certified facility with complete material and process traceability for space and high-reliability applications.
• Qualified and tested to AEM Drawing 487070 or DSCC Drawing 03024 standards.
• Utilizes tin-lead terminations to prevent tin whisker growth where pure tin is prohibited.

Chip Ferrite Bead Applications

• Space electronics requiring DSCC approved components
• High reliability military systems
• Circuitry where pure tin termination is prohibited

Chip Ferrite Bead Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS status as the product description indicates non-compliance. Confirm that tin-lead terminations are acceptable for the target application, as this design prevents tin whisker issues associated with pure tin. Ensure compatibility with AEM Drawing 487070 or DSCC Drawing 03024 qualification requirements during procurement.

Chip Ferrite Bead Selection Notes

Select this component when high reliability and traceability are required over standard commercial grade parts. The 0603 footprint suits compact designs needing 150 ohm filtering at 100 MHz. Consider the 400 mA current rating and low DC resistance for power line noise suppression. Tin-lead terminations are necessary if lead-free alternatives are unsuitable for the environment.

Chip Ferrite Bead Part Context

This part belongs to the HRB series of high-reliability ferrite chip beads from AEM. These components are designed specifically for demanding environments, including space applications. The series offers various impedance values and current ratings within the 0603 package size, all manufactured under strict quality controls.

Chip Ferrite Bead Replacement Considerations

Substitutes must match the 0603 footprint, 150 ohm impedance at 100 MHz, and 400 mA current rating. Verify if the replacement supports the same high-reliability qualifications or if the tin-lead termination constraint applies to the new component.

Chip Ferrite Bead FAQ

What is the impedance tolerance for this ferrite bead?

The impedance tolerance is +/-10% at 100 MHz.

Why does this component use tin-lead terminations?

Tin-lead terminations are used to prevent tin whisker growth, which is critical in applications where pure tin is prohibited.
