AEM’s New HRB-US Series Ferrite Beads Are Up-Screened to Meet High-Reliability Applications

Hi-Rel parts are procured, up-screened to meet DSCC 03024 qualifications and are repackaged with lot data traceability; New AEM product series expands commercial availability of DSCC-qualified ferrite beads to meet demand

SAN DIEGO, Calif.— September 15, 2016—AEM, Inc., announces the HRB-US Series of high-reliability ferrite beads that meet the stringent requirements of the Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) specification 03024. AEM is the only ferrite chip manufacturer whose parts are approved by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to the DSCC 03024 specification. The innovative HRB-US process up-screens commercially available parts utilizing AEM’s proprietary techniques to selectively certify additional ferrite beads to the DSCC standard. The HRB-US Series provides an effective means to meet the growing demand of high-reliability applications.

“AEM’s in-house manufactured HRB / 03024 series of ferrite chips are the gold standard for high-reliability,” said AEM’s Marketing Director, Scott Sentz. “Our new HRB-US Series expands our inventory of Hi-Rel components that approach DSCC 03024 reliability through an intricate up-screening of the highest-quality commercial devices. They are also backed by our traceable in-house materials and processes.”

AEM’s HRB-US Series components begin as full reel ferrite bead lots acquired through OEM approved distribution channels and are traceable to selected manufactures of commercial devices. The devices pass through pre- and post-screening processes while undergoing AEM’s proprietary Tin-Lead conversion. The devices are then subjected to DSCC 03024 Group A, B and C testing. Finally, the parts are assigned a new HRB-US part number and are tape and reel packaged with an AEM lot number and date code.

AEM's High-Reliability Ferrite Beads (HRB) Attain DSCC Approval

First and only parts meeting DSCC Drawing 03024 are especially suited for military, aerospace,medical and other critical applications where reliability is a paramount concern.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. November 14, 2012 AEM, Inc. announces the immediate availability of its DSCC-approved line of ferrite chip beads designed for ultra-high-reliability applications. The HRB Series is the first and only line of ferrite beads manufactured with qualified materials and tested to compliance with DSCC drawing 03024, which prescribes the stringent physical, electrical and operational specifications for high-reliability ferrite chip shielding beads.

The HRB Series devices are available in EIA 0603, 0805 and 1206 package sizes with current ratings from 0.2A to 4.0A. They have an operating temperature range of -55 to 125ºC, have tin/lead or gold, Ni-barrier solder-plated terminations to eliminate the possibility of tin whisker formation and to ensure reliable solder joints. Materials and processes are fully traceable and all parts are shipped with Group A/B test data supplied. Group C inspection is optional.

The HRB Series exemplifies AEM's heritage of producing high-reliability components for the aerospace industry, said AEM's Marketing Director, Scott Sentz. AEM is able to offer value-added product processing and high-reliability test screening to the 03024 specification in order to meet our customers' unique and crucial program requirements. These additional benefits are not offered by other ferrite chip suppliers.

AEM's Tin Whisker Mitigation Process Assures Surface-Mount Component Reliability

SAN DIEGO, Calif., - AEM, Inc. announces a Hi-Rel qualified Sn / Pb (tin / lead) conversion process designed to mitigate the formation of tin whiskers in surface-mount components. The AEM process eliminates potential damage to sensitive electronic devices caused by conventional hot-solder dipping while ensuring that converted component terminations contain a minimum of 5% Pb as verified by SEM/EDS and XRF inspection methods. AEM's Sn/Pb conversion process is best suited for chip-scale passive components, including capacitors, inductors, resistors, ferrite chip beads, fuses, resistor arrays, capacitor arrays, bead arrays and many molded body passive and active surface-mount component types. This process includes 100 percent adherence to visual and mechanical inspections per applicable EIA guidelines, including sample solderability, leach resistance, terminal strength and destructive physical analysis (DPA) screening.

"Components terminated entirely with a tin solder are susceptible to unpredictable whisker growth," said AEM Marketing Director, Scott Sentz. "And for ultra-high-reliability applications, RoHS-compliant devices must be converted back to tin/lead terminations. Components with external leads can be hot-solder-dipped, but this is not the case for chip-style components due to thermal shock concerns."

While AEM's Sn/Pb conversion process is applicable to most multi-layer, chip-style components, other component types may be processed subject to an AEM pre-evaluation and component construction analysis, which is typically performed by AEM at no cost to the customer. Optional component up-screening (e.g., up-rating commercial components for use in military, aerospace or medical applications) and QCI can be performed by AEM's MIL-STD-202 complaint and AS9100 certified lab. Converted and up-screened components are warranted as AEM products.

AEM's Tin Whisker Mitigation Process Earns Editor's Choice Recognition

Military Embedded Systems Magazine editors have singled out AEM's Sn / Pb conversion process for recognition in its July/August 2011 Issue.

SAN DIEGO, Calif., - AEM, Inc. is pleased to announce the editors of Military Embedded Systems have selected the company's Sn/Pb (tin/lead) conversion process as their Editor's Choice. The announcement was made in the July/August issue. AEM's hi-rel-qualified Sn/Pb (tin/lead) conversion process is designed to mitigate the formation of tin whiskers in surface-mount components.

Here's what the editors had to say: "Whether we're talking the International Space Station, a C-17, or a Humvee, tin whiskers can throw a monkey wrench into system functionality - and even result in loss of life. However, AEM, Inc.'s tin/lead conversion process aims to stop tin whiskers in high-rel, surface-mount components originally terminated with tin-only solder. Moreover, AEM's tin/lead conversion process leaves even the most delicate electronics intact - as opposed to using all that hot soldering, which can damage sensitive components. Meanwhile, the tin/lead conversion process offers the assurance of at least 5 percent Pb in converted component terminations, as verified via XRF and SEM/EDS inspections." (Military Embedded Systems magazine Copyright OpenSystems Media, 2011. All rights reserved; used with permission.)

"We are very pleased to learn of this recognition by these respected journalists," said AEM's Marketing Director, Scott Sentz. "Our tin/lead conversion process is helping our customers to reliably prepare chip-scale passive components, including capacitors, inductors, resistors, ferrite chip beads, fuses, resistor arrays, capacitor arrays, bead arrays and many molded body passive and active surface-mount component types for use in mission-critical and life-sustaining applications."
