161GA10

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 161GA10 is a low voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 115 VAC and a dual secondary winding configuration providing 10 VAC center-tapped output. The unit has a power rating of 4.4 VA with a secondary current capacity of 440 mA. It utilizes through-hole termination for secure board integration.

Feature Summary

• Low voltage PCB mount design
• Dual secondary winding with center tap
• Through-hole termination style

Applications

• Low voltage AC power supply circuits
• Electronic control boards requiring isolated power
• Signal conditioning hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct voltage and current ratings are selected, as variations exist within the series. Confirm that the PCB footprint matches the component's physical dimensions before finalizing procurement orders to avoid integration issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power transformer is required for direct board installation. Ensure the application voltage aligns with the 115 VAC primary specification and that the load does not exceed the 4.4 VA thermal limits defined by the manufacturer.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing line of general-purpose power transformers. It serves as a standard solution for converting mains voltage to lower levels suitable for sensitive electronic components in industrial and commercial equipment applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference data for compatible substitutes. Verify that any alternative part matches the 115 VAC primary, 10V CT secondary, and 4.4 VA rating while maintaining the same PCB mounting footprint.
