Particular features of scattering of relativistic particles with spin 1/2 in the Aharonov-Bohm gauge field are considered. For this purpose use is made of the model of a solenoid of radius $a$ with subsequent passage to the limit for $a\to 0$, the magnetic flux being conserved. It is shown that the electromagnetic potential affects the initial spin state of the particle.
