Wirewound ferrite beads offer a high magnitude of attenuation

Ferrite beads are used as low pass filters to eliminate high frequency noise while allowing low frequency signals or DC current to pass through a circuit. 

Coilcraft wirewound ferrite beads feature a ferrite construction and heavy gauge wire for high current handling. They provide low DCR while maintaining high filtering impedance across a wide bandwidth of up to GHz band. These features enhance the performance of the choke circuit while potentially reducing board space by replacing a larger chip ferrite bead with an equivalent, or higher-performing wirewound ferrite bead.

Coilcraft offers 11 families of wirewound ferrite beads, all of which are RoHS-compliant and halogen free. Three models (the 0603LS, 0805LS and 1008LS) are qualified to AEC-Q200 Grade 3 standards (-40 to +85°C ambient), making them suitable for automotive and other harsh-environment applications.
