1608

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 1608 is a push-pull audiophile tube output transformer designed for audio applications. It features a primary winding of 8,000 CT at 100mA and a secondary winding configuration of 4-8-16 ohms. The unit has a power rating of 10W and operates within a frequency response starting at 30 Hz. It utilizes enclosed shielding and supports above-chassis Type X mounting with four slots.

Feature Summary

• Push-pull tube output circuit design
• Enclosed shielding for noise reduction
• Above-chassis Type X mounting capability

Applications

• Audiophile tube amplifier construction
• Push-pull output stage implementation
• High-fidelity audio equipment modification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pinout and mounting hole dimensions against your chassis design before ordering. Confirm that the 8,000 CT primary impedance matches your vacuum tube requirements. Ensure the enclosure size accommodates the Type X mounting style. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing push-pull tube amplifiers requiring a 10W power handling capacity. The 4-8-16 ohm secondary options provide flexibility for various speaker impedances. Consider the enclosed shielded design if electromagnetic interference suppression is critical for the audio signal path.
