New Series delivers high-reliability EMI suppression in a flexible, commercial-off-the-shelf format

Huntington Beach, CA — August 20, 2025 — Vanguard Electronics, a trusted leader in high-reliability magnetics, proudly announces the launch of the CRFB Series, the Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) version of its proven RFB Series of ferrite chip beads. Designed for applications that demand rugged, reliable EMI suppression, the CRFB Series delivers the same trusted performance with the flexibility and availability of a COTS solution.

The CRFB Series builds upon the legacy of the RFB line, offering compact, surface-mount ferrite beads with exceptional noise filtering performance. Designed to suppress high-frequency interference and maintain signal integrity, these components are ideal for use in military, aerospace, industrial, and other high-reliability applications.

Available in COTS and RoHS-compliant versions, the CRFB Series supports a wide range of impedance values—from 10 to 2000 ohms (measured at 100 MHz)—with current ratings up to 10 amps. This enables the series to accommodate both low-power and high-current circuits across a variety of applications.

“This launch reinforces our commitment to scalable high-reliability solutions,” said Chris Vinson, Director of Sales at Vanguard Electronics. “With CRFB now complementing our existing RFB and SRFB lines, customers have a full range of performance, compliance, and availability options for any level of application criticality.”

The series is offered in standard surface-mount package sizes from 0402 to 3312A, allowing easy integration into dense PCB layouts. A closed, linear magnetic path minimizes crosstalk, which is essential in high-frequency environments. The components are built for durability, with terminations of tin-lead over nickel and resistance to shock, moisture, immersion, and soldering heat (up to 265°C for 10 seconds). They are rated for operating and storage temperatures ranging from −55°C to +130°C.

To meet specific engineering requirements, multiple impedance tolerances are available—±25%, ±20%, ±10%, and ±5% (availability of tighter tolerances may vary by part number). Components are supplied in both bulk and tape-and-reel formats to support both prototyping and automated production environments.

In addition to the CRFB and RFB versions, a space-qualified SRFB Series is also available for missions that require radiation tolerance and space-grade reliability.
