1182N6

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 1182N6 is a toroidal power transformer designed for industrial applications. It features a dual primary winding rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC, allowing flexible input configuration. The unit provides a dual secondary winding with options for 12 VAC center-tapped at 4.17 A or 6 VAC at 8.34 A. With a power rating of 50 VA, it operates at 50 Hz/60 Hz frequencies. The transformer utilizes wire leads for termination and is intended for chassis mounting.

Feature Summary

• Toroidal core construction minimizes stray magnetic flux leakage and electromagnetic interference.
• Dual primary windings enable compatibility with both 115 VAC and 230 VAC supply lines.
• Dual secondary windings offer configurable voltage outputs via series or parallel connections.

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 voltage requirement (12V CT or 6V) against the datasheet before ordering, as the model designation corresponds to the 6V variant. Confirm that the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination are compatible with the target enclosure design. Ensure the operating frequency matches the system's 50 Hz or 60 Hz standard to maintain performance integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-EMI power source is required for industrial environments. The 50 VA rating suits moderate load applications. Consider the physical dimensions and weight constraints, as toroidal transformers can be dense. Ensure the available space accommodates the chassis mount orientation and that the wire leads can reach the connection points without strain.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond 1182 series of toroidal power transformers. The series is characterized by high efficiency and low profile designs suitable for various industrial control transformer needs. The 1182N6 specifically addresses applications requiring 50 VA capacity with versatile secondary output configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 50 VA rating, 115/230 VAC primary input, and compatible secondary outputs (12V CT @ 4.17A or 6V @ 8.34A). Verify that any replacement maintains the same chassis mounting footprint and wire lead termination type to ensure mechanical compatibility.
