Tekercs

Tekercs is a Hungarian noun meaning coil, spool, or reel. In everyday language it refers to any material wound into a cylindrical form, such as a roll of film, a spool of thread, or a strip of metal tape. In technical contexts, tekercs designates a wound conductor forming an inductor or transformer winding. A tekercs is typically made by winding a conductor—usually copper—around a core, though air-core configurations are common; the core and the geometry determine the inductance and magnetic characteristics. The number of turns, the wire gauge, the spacing of turns, and insulation all influence performance and suitability for a given circuit.

In electronics, tekercs are used as inductors, transformers, electromagnets, and in devices such as loudspeakers where a voice coil forms a moving tekercs. In manufacturing and industry, wound forms are referred to as tekercs when strips, cables, or filaments are wound onto spools or bobbins for storage and automated handling. Winding processes vary from manual to high-speed automated machinery; insulation, coatings, and safety clearances are important for reliability and heat management.

The term is part of standard Hungarian vocabulary and is used across engineering, electronics, and logistics to describe the wound form or wound component. See also coil, winding, transformer, inductor, spool.
