# TFPT1206L1000FV Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The TFPT1206L1000FV product series represents a cutting - edge range of electronic components that are designed to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern electronic circuits. These components are engineered with high precision and advanced technology to offer reliable performance in a wide variety of applications.

## 2. Product Naming Convention
- **TFPT**: This is the brand or product family identifier, which is associated with a reputation for quality and innovation in the electronics industry. It indicates that the product belongs to a specific line of components developed by the manufacturer.
- **1206**: Refers to the physical size of the component, following the standard surface - mount device (SMD) package size convention. In the case of 1206, it typically means the component has a length of 0.12 inches (3.2mm) and a width of 0.06 inches (1.6mm). This size is widely used in the electronics industry, making it compatible with many existing circuit board designs and assembly processes.
- **L1000**: The "L" often stands for an inductor, which is a key component in this product series. The number "1000" represents the inductance value. In the common notation, it means an inductance of 1000 nanohenries (nH) or 1 microhenry (μH). Inductors are passive electronic components that store energy in a magnetic field when an electric current flows through them.
- **FV**: This may represent specific features, a particular version, or a set of characteristics of the inductor. It could indicate factors such as the tolerance, temperature coefficient, or other electrical properties that distinguish this specific model within the product series.

## 3. Key Features

### Electrical Performance
- **Precise Inductance**: With an inductance value of 1 μH, the TFPT1206L1000FV offers a high level of accuracy. This precision is crucial in applications where specific inductance values are required for proper circuit operation, such as in radio frequency (RF) circuits, power supplies, and signal filtering.
- **Low Resistance**: The inductor has a low direct - current resistance (DCR). A low DCR reduces power losses in the form of heat, improving the overall efficiency of the circuit. This is especially important in power - sensitive applications, where minimizing energy consumption is a priority.
- **High Q Factor**: The quality factor (Q) of the inductor is relatively high. A high Q factor indicates that the inductor has low energy losses in the form of resistance and capacitance, resulting in better selectivity and performance in resonant circuits. This makes the TFPT1206L1000FV suitable for use in applications such as oscillators and tuned circuits.

### Physical Characteristics
- **Compact Size**: The 1206 package size makes the component highly suitable for use in compact electronic devices. It allows for high - density circuit board designs, enabling manufacturers to create smaller and more portable products without sacrificing performance.
- **Surface - Mount Technology (SMT) Compatibility**: The SMT design of the TFPT1206L1000FV makes it easy to integrate into modern printed circuit board (PCB) assembly processes. SMT components can be quickly and accurately placed on the PCB using automated pick - and - place machines, reducing production time and cost.
- **Robust Construction**: The inductor is built with high - quality materials and a durable construction. It can withstand mechanical stress, temperature variations, and environmental factors, ensuring long - term reliability in various operating conditions.
