käämin

Käämin is the genitive form of the Finnish noun käämi, which refers to a coil, winding, or spool. The term is used in several contexts in Finnish, most commonly to denote a wound conductor used in electrical devices and, alternatively, a spool or bobbin on which thread or yarn is wound for storage and use. In technical texts, käämi often means a wound conductor around a magnetic core, forming an inductor or transformer. The properties of a käämi, such as the number of turns, wire gauge, and core material, determine its inductance and resistance.

In electrical engineering and electronics, käämit are essential components in circuits and machines. They can be found in transformers, inductors, relays, and other devices where controlled magnetic coupling or energy storage is required. The design of a käämi involves choices about winding technique, insulation, and core material to achieve desired electrical characteristics and thermal performance.

In textiles and crafts, käämi denotes a spool or bobbin used to wind yarn, thread, or fibers for weaving, knitting, or spinning. Such käämit help organize materials and facilitate controlled unwinding during work, contributing to efficiency and precision in handcraft processes.

The form käämin is the genitive case of käämi and is used to indicate possession or association in phrases describing a coil or spool. As a lexical item, käämin appears primarily in specialized vocabulary related to electronics and weaving.
