Laird Technologies, Inc. has announced its new line of EIA 0201 Ferrite Chip Beads that extends the existing 0402 to 3312 surface-mounted monolithic EMI suppression product families. The LI0201 chip beads’ smaller, miniature footprint make them ideal for advanced handheld electronic devices such as cellular phones, Bluetooth® handsets, PDAs, GPS, MP3 players, digital camcorders, and digital cameras.Laird Technologies’ new LI0201 series offers superior impedance versus frequency characteristics with low DCR for EMI noise suppression on high-frequency or broadband digital signal lines. The rugged monolithic assembly and 0.6 mm x 0.3 mm x 0.3 mm footprint offers approximately 40% mounting space savings over the existing 0402 products, making the LI0201 Ferrites ideal for dense, compact circuit board construction. The chip beads provide a superior EMI noise filtering effect and space efficiency; and can be placed close to the EMI source or receptor of the external interface or the internal signal interconnection.
