1182F18

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 1182F18 is a toroidal power transformer designed for industrial applications. It features a 15 VA power rating with dual primary windings supporting 115 VAC and 230 VAC inputs at 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequencies. The unit provides an 18V secondary output at 0.84A when configured in parallel, or 36V series operation. It utilizes wire leads for termination and is intended for chassis mounting. The transformer measures 1.25 inches in height and weighs approximately 793.786 grams.

Feature Summary

• Toroidal core design ensures low stray magnetic flux leakage and reduced electromagnetic interference.
• Dual primary winding configuration allows flexible input voltage selection for global compatibility.
• Dual secondary winding structure supports both series and parallel connection modes.
• Chassis mount style with wire lead terminations facilitates direct integration into control panels.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring isolated power supplies
• Electronic equipment needing low-profile power transformation
• Applications sensitive to electromagnetic interference

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary configuration requirements (series vs. parallel) against the application circuit before ordering. Confirm that the chassis mounting space accommodates the physical dimensions and weight of the unit. Ensure input voltage ratings match the available supply frequency and amplitude. Check for compliance with relevant safety standards required by the end-use environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, high-efficiency toroidal transformer is needed for 15 VA loads. Consider the dual secondary flexibility if variable output voltages are required. Evaluate the chassis mounting constraints regarding height and clearance. Compare against other 1182 series variants if higher power ratings or different voltage configurations are necessary for the system.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 1182 series of industrial toroidal transformers. The series offers various power ratings from 15 VA to 225 VA. All units in this family share similar construction characteristics, including dual windings and chassis mounting options. The 1182F18 represents the lower end of the power spectrum within this specific product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hammond 1182 series models with identical electrical specifications. Cross-reference part numbers such as 1182H18 for similar form factors but verify wattage differences. Ensure any replacement maintains the same toroidal geometry and mounting hole patterns for mechanical compatibility.
