TGAD-260NALFTR

Pulse Transformers Overview

The TGAD-260NALFTR is a surface mount pulse transformer manufactured by HALO Electronics, Inc. It features an encapsulated isolation and data interface design with a turns ratio of 1:2. The component has an inductance of 389 µH and supports a voltage-time product (ET) of 14 V/µs. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and provides an insulation voltage of 2.5 kV. The device utilizes a gull-wing SMD package.

Pulse Transformers Feature Summary

• Encapsulated construction for enhanced environmental protection
• Integrated isolation and data interface functionality
• Surface mount gull-wing configuration for automated assembly

Pulse Transformers Applications

• T1/E1 network interface circuits
• Digital communication signal isolation
• Pulse transformer applications requiring encapsulation

Pulse Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LF' indicates lead-free compliance and 'TR' denotes tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm that the 389 µH inductance specification aligns with the target circuit requirements. Ensure the 2.5 kV insulation rating meets safety standards for the intended application environment. Cross-reference the gull-wing footprint dimensions against the PCB layout to ensure mechanical compatibility.

Pulse Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust encapsulation and high isolation voltage in a compact surface mount form factor. The 1:2 turns ratio makes it suitable for specific impedance matching scenarios in digital interfaces. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for industrial or outdoor deployments. Evaluate the 14 V/µs ET value against the maximum pulse width requirements of the driving signals.

Pulse Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the TGAD series of pulse transformers from HALO Electronics, designed for data interface and isolation purposes. It is functionally similar to the TGAD-260V6LF but differs in packaging format, with the NALF variant typically utilizing a tube rather than a reel. The series is characterized by encapsulated cores and gull-wing leads for reliable surface mounting.

Pulse Transformers Replacement Considerations

The TGAD-260V6LF is a confirmed substitute part number within the same family, sharing identical electrical specifications such as 389 µH inductance and 1:2 ratio. Verify that the packaging difference (tube vs. reel) does not impact the manufacturing process.
