Breaking: Dear sirs, here is the world's ‘’first ‘’008004 size chip ferrite bead: stakes and opportunities.

In this domain, it is very difficult to innovate, but based on the reality that there is a growing need for ultra-small components that support high-density mounting, Murata is deeply committed to improve its offers and the user experience.

Today, Connectikpeople can observe that, this Japanese company has developed a 008004 size (0201 < JIS > size) (0.25 x 0.125 mm) chip ferrite bead*, the smallest
‘’ever’’. It features a 75% lower volume than the 01005 size (0402< JIS > size) (0.4 x 0.2 mm) that is currently installed on some smartphones.

Pending its exhibition during the "CEATEC JAPAN 2013", which will be held from October 1, 2013, Connectikpeople may recall that, in 2012, Murata developed the world's smallest 008004 size (0.25 x 0.125 mm) monolithic ceramic capacitor and chip inductor.
Henceforth the new comer is needed to prevent excess noise in electronic devices.

According to Murata, currently, preparations are underway to begin shipping samples in fiscal year 2014.

 “I am confident that this will contribute to progress in miniaturization of the high-performance electronic devices of the future’’. Said Mr. Toru Inoue, Executive Vice President of Murata Manufacturing.

The target applications assume mobile phones and mobile phone modules (PA, Wi-Fi, cameras, etc.)

* Chip ferrite bead: A type of EMI suppression filter that uses dissipation in ferrite to eliminate noise generated by electronic devices. It helps to prevent the electronic equipment from malfunctioning.
