162G56

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 162G56 is a low voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a split bobbin construction with dual non-concentrically wound secondaries to minimize inter-winding capacitance. The unit operates at 50/60 Hz and provides a 12 VA power rating. Electrical specifications include an 115 VAC or 230 VAC primary input and a 56 VAC center-tapped secondary output delivering 0.22 A. The device utilizes a low profile design suitable for space-constrained applications.

Feature Summary

• Low profile, split bobbin design
• Dual winding secondaries, non-concentrically wound
• PCB mount configuration
