160F20

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 160F20 is a low-voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation. The secondary output provides 20 VAC center-tapped configuration, delivering a power rating of 4.4 VA with a maximum current capacity of 220 mA. This component utilizes a vertical mount orientation with a split bobbin design to ensure electrical isolation between windings.

Feature Summary

• Vertical mount construction with split bobbin design
• Dual primary winding capability for 115/230 VAC input
• Low voltage PCB mounting form factor

Applications

• Industrial control panels
• Electrical equipment power distribution
• Renewable energy systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm compliance with current safety standards and RoHS directives. Ensure that the procurement documentation explicitly lists the 4.4 VA rating and 20 VAC CT secondary specification to match the required circuit design parameters accurately.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, vertically mounted transformer is required for low-power applications. The dual primary winding allows flexibility for different line voltages without changing components. Verify that the 220 mA secondary current rating meets the load requirements of the target circuit design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing series of low-voltage transformers. It is part of a family offering various VA sizes and output voltages, specifically designed for open-style PCB integration in industrial and commercial electronic assemblies requiring reliable step-down conversion.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Hammond Manufacturing catalogs for direct substitutes within the same series. Verify that any alternative part matches the 4.4 VA rating, 20 VAC CT output, and vertical PCB mounting dimensions to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
