series introduction

# Introduction to the MLF1608DR82JT000 Product Series

## 1. Overview
The MLF1608DR82JT000 product series belongs to the realm of electronic components, specifically surface - mount inductors. These inductors are designed to meet the diverse needs of modern electronic circuits, offering high - performance solutions for a wide range of applications. With their compact size and excellent electrical characteristics, they have become a popular choice among electronics designers.

## 2. Physical Characteristics
### 2.1 Dimensions
The "1608" in the model number indicates the industry - standard size of the inductor. In the metric system, it has a length of 1.6 mm and a width of 0.8 mm. This small form factor makes it suitable for use in densely populated printed circuit boards (PCBs), where space is often at a premium. For example, in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, where multiple components need to be integrated into a limited area, the MLF1608DR82JT000 can be easily incorporated without taking up excessive space.
### 2.2 Packaging
The inductors in this series are typically supplied in tape - and - reel packaging. This packaging method is highly convenient for automated pick - and - place assembly processes used in mass - production electronics manufacturing. It ensures efficient handling and placement of the components on the PCB, reducing production time and costs.

## 3. Electrical Characteristics
### 3.1 Inductance Value
The "R82" in the model number represents the inductance value of the inductor. In this case, the inductance is 0.82 μH (microhenries). Inductance is a crucial parameter that determines the inductor's ability to store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. This specific inductance value is suitable for a variety of applications, such as filtering and impedance matching in radio - frequency (RF) circuits.
### 3.2 Tolerance
The "J" in the model number indicates the tolerance of the inductance value. A "J" tolerance means that the actual inductance of the inductor can vary by ±5% from the specified value of 0.82 μH. This relatively tight tolerance ensures that the inductor will perform consistently within a narrow range of values, which is important for maintaining the stability and performance of the overall circuit.
### 3.3 DC Resistance (DCR)
The DC resistance of the MLF1608DR82JT000 is carefully controlled to minimize power losses in the circuit. A low DCR value means that less energy is dissipated as heat when a direct current flows through the inductor. This is particularly important in power - sensitive applications, such as battery - powered devices, where minimizing power consumption is essential for extending battery life.
### 3.4 Self - Resonant Frequency (SRF)
The self - resonant frequency of the inductor is an important characteristic, especially in high - frequency applications. It represents the frequency at which the inductor's inductive reactance and capacitive reactance are equal, resulting in a resonance condition. The MLF1608DR82JT000 is designed to have a relatively high self - resonant frequency, which allows it to maintain its inductive behavior over a wide frequency range. This makes it suitable for use in RF circuits, where it can effectively filter out unwanted frequencies and improve signal quality.

## 4. Applications
### 4.1 Mobile Devices
As mentioned earlier, the small size of the MLF1608DR82JT000 makes it ideal for use in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices. It can be used in power management
