162F10

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 162F10 is a low-voltage PCB mount power transformer with a low profile design. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation. The secondary output provides 10 VAC center-tapped configuration at 0.6 A, delivering a total power rating of 6 VA. The component utilizes through-hole mounting with solder terminals and employs a laminated core construction.

Feature Summary

• Low voltage PCB mount design with low profile form factor
• Dual primary winding capability for 115V or 230V input selection
• Center-tapped secondary output configuration
• Laminated core construction for efficient power transformation

Applications

• Low voltage electronic circuit power supplies
• Industrial control panel internal power distribution
• Consumer electronics requiring isolated AC power stages
• Signal processing equipment input conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal type and packaging format, as variations may exist between bulk and standard retail packaging. Ensure the selected variant matches the required lead time constraints for production schedules. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, board-mount solution is required for 6 VA applications. The dual primary winding allows flexibility for different regional input voltages without changing hardware. The center-tapped secondary is suitable for full-wave rectification circuits requiring split rail generation. Verify that the physical dimensions fit within the available PCB area and that the thermal characteristics meet the enclosure requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond 162 Series, which focuses on low-profile power transformers designed for printed circuit board integration. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations to support diverse low-power electronic designs. The 162F10 specifically addresses applications needing small footprint and reliable isolation between primary and secondary circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hammond 162 series variants with matching electrical specifications. Check for equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering 6 VA, 115/230V primary, and 10V CT secondary outputs. Ensure mechanical mounting hole patterns and pin spacing are compatible before substitution.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature for the 162F10?

The datasheet specifies the thermal class, but specific ambient temperature limits depend on the insulation system rating defined in the official specification document.

Does the 162F10 have an integrated fuse?

No, the 162F10 is a passive transformer component and does not include built-in protective fuses; external protection must be provided by the circuit designer.
