Z-Directed Ferrite Bead Components for Printed Circuit Boards

摘要

A Z-directed ferrite bead component for insertion into a printed circuit board while allowing electrical connection to internal conductive planes contained with the PCB. In one embodiment the Z-directed component is housed within the thickness of the PCB allowing other components to be mounted over it. Signal and dual conductor Z-directed ferrite bead component embodiments are provided. The body may include one or more surface channels or wells extending along at least a portion of the length of the body. Methods for mounting Z-directed components are also provided.
