162G12-BULK

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 162G12-BULK is a low-voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a laminated core construction and supports dual primary voltage ratings of 115 VAC and 230 VAC. The unit provides a secondary output of 12.6 VAC center-tapped, delivering up to 1.0 A at the center tap or 2.0 A across the full winding. With a power rating of 12 VA, it utilizes through-hole termination and operates within a maximum temperature of +130°C.

Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for PCB mounting applications
• Dual primary winding configuration for versatile voltage input
• Center-tapped secondary winding for rectifier use

Applications

• Low voltage rectifier circuits
• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated AC power

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific bulk packaging variant matches the required lead time and shipping restrictions. Confirm that the dual primary winding configuration aligns with the target system's input voltage requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, board-mount transformer is required for 12 VA applications. Ensure the physical dimensions accommodate the PCB layout and that the through-hole pin spacing matches the board footprint specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond 162 series of low-voltage transformers. It is distinguished by its compact form factor and specific electrical ratings tailored for direct PCB integration in industrial and commercial electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Hammond 162D12 for lower power needs or 162G12 for identical specifications without bulk packaging suffixes. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
