# Introduction to the VLF3014AT - 2R2M1R2 Product Series
## Overview
The VLF3014AT - 2R2M1R2 product series represents a cutting - edge solution in the field of electronic components. Engineered with precision and designed to meet the most demanding requirements of modern electronic systems, this series offers a unique combination of performance, reliability, and versatility.
## Physical Characteristics
### Dimensions
The VLF3014AT - 2R2M1R2 components are built with a compact form factor. The "3014" in the model number typically indicates the physical size of the device, which is optimized for space - constrained applications. This allows for easy integration into a wide range of circuit boards, whether it's a small - scale consumer electronics device or a more complex industrial control system.
### Packaging
The components are packaged in a way that ensures protection during shipping and handling. The packaging is designed to prevent damage from external factors such as static electricity, mechanical shock, and environmental contaminants. This helps to maintain the integrity of the product from the manufacturing facility to the end - user's hands.
## Electrical Specifications
### Inductance
The "2R2" in the model number represents the inductance value of the component. In this case, it has an inductance of 2.2 μH (microhenries). Inductance is a crucial parameter in many electronic circuits, especially those involving filters, oscillators, and power supplies. A 2.2 μH inductance value makes the VLF3014AT - 2R2M1R2 suitable for a variety of applications where energy storage and transfer in the form of magnetic fields are required.
### Tolerance
The "M" in the model number indicates the tolerance of the inductance. An "M" tolerance typically means a ±20% tolerance range. This means that the actual inductance value of the component can vary within 20% of the specified 2.2 μH value. While this may seem like a relatively wide tolerance, it is often acceptable in many general - purpose applications where a high degree of precision is not required.
### Resistance
The "1R2" in the model number represents the DC resistance (DCR) of the component, which is 1.2 ohms. Low DC resistance is important in power - related applications as it helps to minimize power losses in the form of heat. A lower DCR means that the component can handle higher currents with less energy dissipation, resulting in more efficient operation.
## Performance Features
### High - Frequency Performance
The VLF3014AT - 2R2M1R2 series is designed to offer excellent high - frequency performance. It can effectively operate in circuits with high - frequency signals, making it suitable for applications such as radio frequency (RF) circuits, wireless communication devices, and high - speed data transfer systems. The component's design minimizes parasitic effects such as capacitance and resistance at high frequencies, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
### Current Handling Capability
These components are capable of handling relatively high currents. The combination of the inductance value and the low DC resistance allows them to carry significant amounts of current without overheating or experiencing excessive voltage drops. This makes them ideal for power supply applications, where they can be used in voltage regulators, DC - DC converters, and other power - management circuits.
### Temperature Stability
The VLF3014AT - 2R2M1R2 series exhibits good temperature stability. The electrical characteristics of the components, such as inductance and resistance, remain relatively constant over a wide temperature range. This is important in applications where the operating environment can vary significantly, such as automotive electronics, industrial automation, and outdoor - based electronic systems.
