Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 164H36-BULK variant to ensure compatibility with your assembly requirements. Confirm that the lead times and availability align with your production schedule, as these factors can fluctuate based on manufacturer supply chain conditions. Always cross-reference the official Hammond Manufacturing documentation for the most current technical specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 VA capacity with a 36V center-tapped secondary is required for PCB integration. Ensure the board layout accommodates the specified footprint and that the operating environment stays within the 0°C to +130°C thermal limits. Consider the physical size constraints relative to other 164 series models if space is limited.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond 164 series, which specializes in low voltage, low profile power transformers for printed circuit board mounting. The series offers various voltage and wattage combinations to support diverse electronic design needs while maintaining a standardized form factor for easy integration into compact assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 164E20 (20VA, 20V CT) and 164J48 (36VA, 48V CT). Verify that alternative part numbers match the required voltage, current, and physical dimensions before substitution.
