160G120

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 160G120 is a board-mount power transformer featuring a laminated core and vertical split bobbin design. It accepts 115V or 230V primary input in parallel or series configurations. The secondary output provides 120VAC center-tapped at 85mA, with a total rating of 10VA. This component is engineered for low-voltage PCB mounting applications requiring reliable isolation.

Feature Summary

• Vertical mount configuration with split bobbin construction
• Dual secondary winding capability for center-tapped operation
• Laminated core design for efficient power transformation

Applications

• Low voltage PCB mounting systems
• Embedded communication equipment
• Industrial control circuitry

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary current rating of 85mA against system requirements to ensure adequate capacity. Confirm that the 10VA power rating aligns with the load demands. Ensure the physical dimensions accommodate the vertical PCB space constraints. Validate that the 115V/230V primary compatibility matches the available supply voltage.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when a center-tapped secondary is required for rectification circuits. The 10VA rating suits moderate power loads compared to smaller 0.5VA units. Consider the vertical form factor if horizontal space is limited. Verify that the split bobbin design meets insulation requirements for the target application environment.

Part Context

This unit belongs to the Hammond 160 series of power transformers. The series offers multiple VA sizes ranging from 0.5 to 24 VA. The 160G120 specifically addresses needs for 120VAC center-tapped outputs. It complements other models like the 164G120 within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part number 164G120 as a related model within the same series. Verify electrical specifications before substitution. Ensure mechanical mounting compatibility remains consistent.
