[sdiy] Choice of ferrite bead inductor

Hi,
I need to choose a suitable ferrite bead inductor for power supply
isolation but am a bit baffled by the myriad of different inductors out
there.
Essentially I want to isolated power spikes caused by digital switching,
etc. from sensitive analog parts of the circuit. I will use a ferrite
bead followed by a 10uF capacitor. The 3 places I'm using this
arrangement is:
- Where the +15V and -15V power comes onto the board.
- To create a separate clean 3.3V from the dirty 3.3V that powers the
uProc, SRAM, etc.
Don't need a huge current capacity - 200mA should do it. Needs to be
SMD package, something like 0805, or bigger if necessary.
Could someone give me a quick pointer to a suitable inductor, or perhaps
give me a rule of thumb by which I could select one myself?
Thanks,
Seb
