162F16

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 162F16 is a low voltage power transformer designed for printed circuit board (PCB) mounting. It features a laminated core and a low-profile split bobbin construction. The unit supports dual primary windings for 115VAC or 230VAC operation at 50/60 Hz. The secondary output provides a center-tapped configuration of 16VAC, delivering up to 0.4A in series connection or 0.8A in parallel. With a power rating of 6VA, it utilizes non-concentrically wound secondaries.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pinout configuration against the official datasheet before integration, as terminal arrangements are critical for correct PCB layout. Confirm that the selected mounting method aligns with the component's mechanical specifications to ensure secure attachment during operation. Cross-reference the electrical requirements with the system's load demands to prevent overloading the transformer's rated capacity.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when space constraints require a low-profile transformer with direct PCB integration. It is suitable for applications requiring isolated power from standard mains voltages. Ensure the thermal environment supports the component's operating range. Consider the current rating relative to the downstream circuitry to maintain reliable performance under continuous load conditions.
