146K

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 146K is an audio transformer designed for chassis mounting applications. It features a center-tapped output configuration with a primary impedance of 1000 ohms and a secondary impedance of 8 ohms. The component measures 1.630 inches in length, 0.880 inches in width, and has a maximum seated height of 0.810 inches. Termination is achieved via wire leads, ensuring secure electrical connections within audio signal processing circuits.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design for stable installation
• Center-tapped output winding configuration
• Wire lead termination style

Applications

• Audio signal transformation
• Output stage interfacing
• Chassis-mounted audio equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number 146K against official Hammond Manufacturing documentation to confirm the 1000 CT:8 ohms specification. Ensure compatibility with chassis mounting requirements and wire lead termination needs. Cross-reference dimensions and series information (143-146 Series) with current datasheets to avoid substitution errors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a chassis-mount audio transformer with a 1000 ohm primary and 8 ohm secondary impedance is required. Consider the physical dimensions of 1.630L x 0.880W x 0.810H for enclosure fitment. Verify that wire lead termination suits the circuit board or wiring harness design.

Part Context

The 146K belongs to the Hammond 143-146 Series of audio transformers. This series includes various configurations for audio applications, such as the 146E model which offers different impedance ratios. These components are typically used in professional audio equipment requiring reliable signal transformation.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Hammond 143-146 Series, such as models with similar impedance ratios but different tap configurations. Ensure any replacement maintains the chassis mount form factor and wire lead termination style.
