Chip ferrite chokes, often called multilayer chip beads, sit quietly on printed circuit boards yet perform a precise job. They present low impedance at DC and low frequencies while rising sharply in impedance at radio frequencies, converting unwanted high frequency energy into heat inside the ferrite material.

Surface mount versions in packages such as 0603, 0805 and 1608 dominate current designs because they fit dense layouts and can be placed directly in series with power or signal traces.
