162J36

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 162J36 is a low-voltage power transformer designed for through-hole mounting. It features a laminated core and dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC input. The secondary configuration provides parallel 18V at 2A or series 36V at 1A, resulting in a 36 VA power rating. Key physical dimensions are 66.68 mm in length, 55.55 mm in width, and a maximum height of 39.70 mm. The unit offers 2500 Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range up to +130°C.

Feature Summary

• Low profile split bobbin design
• Dual winding secondaries with non-concentrically wound construction
• Supports both parallel and series secondary configurations

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low voltage AC power
• Equipment needing isolated power supplies for control circuits
• Applications utilizing 115V or 230V mains input sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary configuration required for your application, as the part supports both parallel 18V/2A and series 36V/1A outputs. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style and physical dimensions fit your PCB layout constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets your environmental requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for your manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, board-mount solution is needed for stepping down standard line voltages to lower levels. The dual primary winding allows flexibility for different regional input standards without changing the hardware. Consider the 36 VA capacity to ensure it meets the load requirements of your downstream circuitry while maintaining appropriate thermal performance.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond 162 series, which focuses on low-profile power transformers suitable for PCB mounting. The series is characterized by its split bobbin design and robust laminated core construction. It serves as a specialized alternative to chassis-mounted units when space efficiency and direct board integration are prioritized over high-power industrial enclosure applications.
