164F36

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 164F36 is a low voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 115 VAC and a dual secondary configuration providing 36V center-tapped output. The unit has a power rating of 6 VA, with secondary current capabilities of 340 mA in parallel mode or 170 mA in series mode. It utilizes through-hole solder pin termination and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +130°C. Physical dimensions are 1.63 inches in length, 1.31 inches in width, and 1.31 inches in height.

Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for board mount applications
• Dual secondary winding allows flexible series or parallel connection
• Through-hole solder pin termination for secure PCB integration

Applications

• Low voltage power supply circuits
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated AC power
• Control panel transformers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary configuration required for your application, as the 164F36 supports both parallel (340mA) and series (170mA) secondary connections. Confirm that the 115V primary input matches your system voltage. Ensure the physical footprint and lead spacing align with your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-voltage transformer with flexible secondary output options is needed. The 6 VA rating suits light load applications. Consider the operating temperature range up to 130°C for environments with elevated thermal conditions. Verify that the through-hole package fits the manufacturing process.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hammond 164 series of low voltage PCB mount transformers. These components are characterized by their low profile and robust construction for industrial electronics. The series offers various voltage and wattage combinations to accommodate different power requirements while maintaining a standardized form factor for easy integration into control boards.

Replacement Considerations

The 164F48 serves as a similar alternative within the same series but provides a 48V CT output at 125mA. Ensure the replacement matches the required voltage and current specifications. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm dimensional compatibility and electrical performance alignment.
