HRB0603S401K.200FT

Chip Ferrite Bead Overview

The HRB0603S401K.200FT is a high-reliability ferrite chip bead manufactured by AEM, Inc., designed for space and demanding applications. It features a 0603 (1608 metric) surface-mount package with dimensions of 1.6 mm in length, 0.8 mm in width, and 0.8 mm in height. The component provides an impedance of 400 Ohms at 100 MHz with a tolerance of +/-10%. It supports a maximum DC current of 200 mA and has a maximum DC resistance of 350 milliohms. The device operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C and utilizes tin-lead terminations.

Chip Ferrite Bead Feature Summary

• Qualified for space and high-reliability environments through DSCC Drawing 03024 compliance
• Provides effective electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference suppression
• Utilizes tin-lead terminations to prevent tin whisker formation where pure tin is prohibited

Chip Ferrite Bead Applications

• Spacecraft electronic systems
• High-reliability military avionics
• Power supply filtering circuits
• Portable device voltage regulation

Chip Ferrite Bead Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the HRB0603S401K.200FT designation to ensure correct impedance and termination specifications. Confirm that tin-lead terminations are acceptable for the target assembly process, as this variant is specifically designed to avoid tin whiskers in environments prohibiting pure tin. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range and current ratings for the intended circuit application.

Chip Ferrite Bead Selection Notes

Select this component when EMI/RFI suppression is required in constrained spaces using the 0603 footprint. It is suitable for designs needing high reliability qualification rather than standard commercial grade components. Consider the 200 mA current rating and 350 milliohm DC resistance to ensure minimal signal loss while maintaining necessary filtering characteristics for power lines or sensitive data paths.

Chip Ferrite Bead Part Context

This part belongs to the HRB series from AEM, Inc., which consists of high-reliability ferrite chip beads. These components are manufactured in a QPL certified facility with complete material traceability. The series is distinct from standard commercial ferrites due to its adherence to strict aerospace and defense standards, ensuring performance under extreme conditions.

Chip Ferrite Bead Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0603 package, 400 Ohm impedance at 100 MHz, and 200 mA current rating. Verify if the replacement offers equivalent high-reliability qualifications such as DSCC approval if used in space or military contexts. Tin-lead termination availability should be confirmed if tin whisker prevention is critical.
