1182K6

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 1182K6 is a toroidal power transformer designed for industrial control applications. It features a 15 VA power rating with dual primary windings supporting 115 VAC and 230 VAC inputs, and dual secondary windings providing 12 VAC in series or 6 VAC in parallel configurations. The unit delivers a maximum secondary current of 1.25 A at the 6 V parallel setting. Operating at 50 Hz/60 Hz frequencies, it utilizes wire leads for termination and is intended for chassis mounting. Physical dimensions are 2.7 inches by 2.7 inches with a height of 1.25 inches, weighing approximately 226.8 grams.

Feature Summary

• Toroidal core construction provides low stray magnetic flux leakage and reduced electromagnetic interference.
• Dual primary and secondary winding architecture enables flexible voltage configuration options.
• Chassis mount design facilitates secure installation within industrial control enclosures.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring isolated power supplies
• Electronic equipment needing low-voltage AC power sources
• General purpose power transformation in manufacturing environments

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage configuration required for your application, as this model supports both series and parallel secondary connections. Confirm that the chassis mounting space accommodates the specified physical dimensions. Ensure input voltage matches the dual primary winding ratings before integration. Check RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to your project requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-profile toroidal transformer is needed for 15 VA applications. The dual winding capability allows for either 12 VAC series or 6 VAC parallel output depending on load requirements. Consider the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination method during system design. Verify that the operating frequency range aligns with your power source specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing 1182 series of toroidal power transformers. The series offers various power ratings from low to high capacity, maintaining consistent design characteristics such as low profile and efficient magnetic coupling. The 1182K6 represents the lower end of the power spectrum within this family, suitable for smaller control circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 15 VA rating, toroidal form factor, and dual winding electrical specifications. Hammond Manufacturing 1182 series variants with identical voltage and current ratings are primary candidates. Cross-reference physical dimensions to ensure chassis compatibility. Verify that alternative components support the same 50/60 Hz operating frequencies and wire lead termination methods.
