14A-56-36B42

Overview

The 14A-56-36B42 is a laminated core power transformer from Pulse Electronics, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a 56 VA power rating with primary voltage options of 115V or 230V. The secondary configuration supports parallel 18V at 3.12A or series 36V operation. This open-style unit utilizes low-frequency laminated construction suitable for standard AC line applications.

Feature Summary

• Open-style laminated core construction
• Through-hole PCB mounting design
• Dual primary voltage capability

Applications

• AC line power conversion
• Industrial control systems
• General purpose isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact electrical tolerances and insulation class requirements. Ensure the selected winding configuration matches the target circuit voltage and current demands. Confirm compliance with regional safety standards relevant to the end application before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, low-frequency laminated transformer is required for high-voltage isolation. The through-hole format suits high-reliability environments where mechanical stress resistance is critical. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs based on the 56 VA continuous load capacity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the International PC Plug-In series by Pulse Electronics. It represents a traditional laminated core solution distinct from modern switch-mode magnetic components. The design prioritizes durability and standard AC line compatibility over miniaturization.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 56 VA rating, 115/230V primary input, and 18V/36V secondary outputs. Verify physical footprint compatibility for through-hole installation. Cross-reference safety certifications if operating in regulated industries.
