162F48

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 162F48 is a low-voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation, supporting both parallel and series configurations. The secondary output provides 48 VAC center-tapped voltage with a total power rating of 6 VA. The component supports two current modes: 250 mA in parallel configuration and 125 mA in series configuration. It utilizes through-hole solder pin termination and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +130°C.

Feature Summary

• Low profile construction optimized for printed circuit board integration
• Dual primary winding capability for flexible 115V or 230V input selection
• Center-tapped secondary design enabling versatile voltage distribution
• Through-hole solder pin termination for secure mechanical attachment

Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Electronic equipment requiring low voltage DC conversion
• Consumer electronics internal power regulation
• Instrumentation systems with specific voltage requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm electrical tolerances and insulation ratings prior to procurement. Ensure that the selected configuration matches the required secondary current mode (parallel vs. series) for the target application. Confirm compliance with relevant safety standards and RoHS directives as specified by the manufacturer. Cross-reference physical dimensions against the PCB layout to ensure adequate clearance and mounting compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-voltage transformer is required for direct PCB integration. Choose the 162F48 for applications needing a 48V center-tapped output from standard mains voltages. Consider the 6 VA power limit when designing the load circuit. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the operating temperature range. Compare physical footprint constraints against alternative models in the 162 series if space is limited.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing 162 series, which specializes in low-profile power transformers for board mount applications. The series offers various voltage and wattage combinations tailored for industrial and commercial electronics. The 162F48 specifically addresses needs for 48V outputs, complementing other variants like the 162H48 and 162F20 which provide different voltage levels within the same form factor family.

Replacement Considerations

The 162H48 serves as a higher-power alternative within the same series, offering 20 VA at 48V CT. For lower power requirements, the 162F20 provides a 20V CT output. Engineers should verify that any substitute maintains identical mounting dimensions and pinout configurations to ensure PCB compatibility without redesign.
