160G12

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 160G12 is a low voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a primary voltage rating of 115/230V and delivers a secondary output of 12.6V C.T. at 350mA, resulting in a 4.4VA power rating. The unit utilizes a vertical mount configuration with a split bobbin design to ensure electrical isolation between windings.

Feature Summary

• Vertical mount construction with a split bobbin design
• Dual primary winding capability for 115V or 230V operation
• Center-tapped secondary output configuration

Applications

• Low voltage AC power supply circuits
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated power sources
• Control panel instrumentation power

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage and current ratings against the datasheet before procurement, as the series offers multiple VA sizes and output options. Confirm that the vertical mounting style and lead wire termination are compatible with the target PCB layout. Ensure the selected variant meets the required insulation class and safety certifications for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, vertically mounted transformer is required for low power applications. The dual primary winding allows flexibility for different input line voltages without changing the part number. Consider the physical dimensions and lead length to ensure proper clearance and connection within the enclosure.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Hammond 160G series of low voltage PCB mount transformers. The series provides various power ratings from 1.2VA to 24VA with multiple output voltage options. These components are engineered for reliability in industrial and commercial electronic systems requiring galvanic isolation.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference tools indicate parametrically similar parts exist within the same manufacturer's lineup. Verify that any substitute matches the 4.4VA rating, 12.6V C.T. output, and vertical mounting footprint to maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility.
