Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or packaging designation when ordering, as bulk variations may exist. Confirm that the receiving facility accepts shipments restricted to USD currency due to size or weight constraints. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and access to official technical documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, board-mount solution is required for 12VA applications. The dual primary input allows flexibility for different regional line voltages without changing components. Verify that the physical footprint and lead termination style match the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing the design integration.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 162 series of low voltage transformers. The series offers various VA ratings and output configurations. The 162G12 specifically addresses needs for moderate power density in space-constrained environments while maintaining standard electrical isolation characteristics for safety compliance.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Hammond Manufacturing cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Generic replacements must match the 12VA rating, 12.6V CT output, and PCB mounting form factor to ensure functional compatibility.
