164H10

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 164H10 is a low voltage power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a laminated core construction with a 20VA power rating. The primary winding accepts 115V input. The secondary configuration offers dual outputs: a parallel connection providing 5V at 4A, and a series connection delivering 10V center-tapped at 2A. This component utilizes through-hole technology for secure board attachment.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core design for efficient power conversion
• Dual secondary output options for flexible voltage requirements
• Low profile form factor optimized for printed circuit board integration

Applications

• Low voltage power supply circuits
• Industrial control systems requiring isolated power
• Electronic instrumentation power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary winding configuration required for your application before ordering. Confirm that the 115V primary rating matches your local mains voltage standards. Ensure the PCB footprint accommodates the through-hole lead spacing. Check datasheet specifications for thermal management requirements under full load conditions to prevent overheating during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, board-mount solution is needed for 20VA applications. Consider the available secondary configurations if multiple voltage rails are necessary from a single transformer. Evaluate space constraints on the PCB against the physical dimensions of the unit. Compare against other Hammond series transformers if higher power ratings or different mounting styles are required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing power transformer lineup, specifically categorized as a low voltage PC mount transformer. It is part of a broader range of industrial-grade electrical components designed for reliable performance in various electronic assemblies. The manufacturer specializes in enclosures and power solutions for demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 20VA laminated core transformers with identical 115V primary and compatible secondary outputs. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical mounting hole patterns before swapping. Alternative models from the same manufacturer with different voltage ratings may require circuit redesign.
