Impedance

The Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L presents an outstanding range of impedance when analyzed against the statistical benchmark for resistors of the same nominal value. Examining the data from impedance measurements conducted at 1 Volt, it is evident that this specific component maintains a relatively consistent impedance throughout various test frequencies. The impedance measurements' values span from 101.2m Ohms to 102.1m Ohms, with the majority placed near the middle of this range, showcasing its stability across the frequency spectrum.

Upon comparison with the statistical benchmark, the Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L exhibits higher impedance values across the entire range of test frequencies. For instance, at 5 Hz, the component has an impedance of 101.4m Ohms, as compared to the average benchmark value of 91.73m Ohms. These similar trends are observed across all frequencies, with the Yageo resistor consistently presenting a 9-10m Ohm higher impedance than the benchmark average, adding to the superiority of its overall performance.

Further illustrating the differences between the Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L and the statistical benchmark, measuring impedance at 10 Volts brings additional insights to the forefront. In the lower-frequency range (5-20 kHz), the Yageo resistor consistently outperforms the average benchmark, demonstrating its increased efficiency in this frequency range. However, an interesting shift occurs in the impedance measurements at higher frequencies, with the Yageo resistor showcasing lower impedance than the benchmark average between 50-300 kHz. In certain cases, it reaches up to an 8m Ohm advantage in favor of the component over the benchmark average, which exemplifies the capacitor's versatile characteristics across a wider frequency range. Starting at 400 kHz, the Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L resistor's impedance values consistently remain higher than the benchmark averages till the end of the test frequencies, reaffirming its superior performance and stability.

Resistance

In examining the Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L Thick Film Resistor, an in-depth investigation unveils noteworthy trends while juxtaposing component data with the benchmark data. A closer look at the series resistance (Ohms) values at 1 Volt reveals that the PT1206FR-070R1L Resistor exhibits consistent performance in the ballpark of 101.3m Ohms across a diverse range of test frequencies. It is worth noting, however, that the resistor's resistance values are somewhat higher than the statistical benchmark average resistance, which ranges between 91.83m and 93.43m Ohms across all frequencies. Despite this disparity compared to the benchmark, the PT1206FR-070R1L demonstrates commendable resistance stability, with only minor fluctuations occurring at the highest frequencies, such as 78.03m at 950kHz and 77.95m at 1MHz.

Moving on to the assessment of LCR measurements at 10 Volts, the PT1206FR-070R1L maintains a relatively unwavering resistance value. However, when compared to the benchmark data, the resistor showcases even larger deviations, which warrant attention. For instance, at the 50k test frequency, the PT1206FR-070R1L features an extended resistance value of 92.2m Ohms, contrasting noticeably with the benchmark average values between 76.17m and 77.61m Ohms. It is observed that in conjunction with other test frequencies, substantial differences exist when comparing the PT1206FR-070R1L resistance values to the benchmark averages. This insight proves crucial, as it suggests that this particular resistor might not be an apt choice for projects with stringent resistance tolerance requirements.

Inductance

The PT1206FR-070R1L exhibits a diverse set of inductance capabilities as opposed to the components analyzed within its statistical benchmark. Comprehending these inductance properties is indispensable for designers who may be exploring this particular component for their specific applications.

Based on LCR measurements at 1 volt, the PT1206FR-070R1L's series inductance stands at 2.948μ Henries under a test frequency of 5Hz. This value lies between the minimum (1.638μ) and the average (3.411μ) values of the statistical benchmark. However, at a higher testing frequency of 100Hz, the PT1206FR-070R1L presents a lower series inductance (50.14n) compared to the minimum value (101.2n) that the benchmark components have demonstrated under the same conditions.

When evaluating the component's high-frequency test results at 1k, 50k, and 1M, the PT1206FR-070R1L reveals inductance values considerably closer to the benchmark. For instance, at a testing frequency of 50k, it provides a series inductance of 2.191n, in comparison to the benchmark's 1.1n minimum and 6.844n average performances. This analysis indicates that the PT1206FR-070R1L is proficient in handling select aspects of circuitry that specifically necessitate inductance expertise.

It is also essential to consider the LCR measurements obtained at 10 volts. The PT1206FR-070R1L presents a relatively lower performance in series inductance at the 100kHz testing frequency (249.3p) than the components constituting the statistical benchmark. However, this component displays a higher inductance value of 3.45n at 200kHz compared to the benchmark components, which bear an average series inductance of 6.397n.

Overall, the PT1206FR-070R1L's performance pertaining to inductance showcases a distinctive capability spectrum when compared to its counterparts in the statistical benchmark.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L Resistor demonstrates mixed performance when compared to the statistical benchmark data of similar components. At lower frequencies, the performance is below-average, while at higher frequencies, the impedance and series resistance values surpass the benchmark's average. The quality factor and dissipation factor are lower than expected in certain frequencies as well.

Regarding the impedance values, the PT1206FR-070R1L Resistor performs well at medium to higher frequency ranges, outshining the benchmarks. However, at lower frequencies, the performance tends to be inferior. When comparing the series resistance, the levels are inconsistent and tend to be higher at lower frequencies, whereas they stabilize at frequencies above 10 kHz.

One notable area where this Resistor surpasses the benchmark at various frequencies is in series inductance. However, this does not compensate for the underperformance in quality and dissipation factors. The series capacitance data provided is limited and is not available for all frequencies making it difficult to draw a conclusive comparison with the benchmark data.

Overall, the Yageo PT1206FR-070R1L Resistor may not be the first choice for engineers who need precise, consistent, and reliable performance across various frequencies. While it showcases advantageous properties at certain frequencies, the inconsistency in performance when compared to the statistical benchmark may make it unsuitable for applications that require precise component performance.
