166G50

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166G50 is a low voltage industrial power transformer featuring a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC at 60 Hz. It delivers a secondary output of 50 VAC center-tapped with a current rating of 0.5 A. The unit has a power capacity of 25 VA and utilizes wire leads for termination. Designed for chassis mounting, it operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +130°C and supports frequencies of 50/60 Hz.

Feature Summary

• Single primary winding configuration for standard 115V AC input
• Center-tapped secondary output providing balanced low voltage distribution
• Chassis mount design with wire lead terminations for direct integration

Applications

• Industrial control panel power supply
• Low voltage equipment power conversion
• Electronic circuitry isolation and stepping down

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage and current requirements against the application load before ordering. Confirm that the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination method are compatible with the enclosure design. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified temperature limits. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Validate the 115V primary input matches the available power source frequency.

Selection Notes

Choose this model when a 25 VA capacity is sufficient for the load. Select for applications requiring a 50V center-tapped secondary from a 115V primary source. Consider the physical dimensions and chassis mounting constraints during mechanical design. Evaluate thermal management needs given the maximum operating temperature rating. Compare against other series members if different voltage or power ratings are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 166 series of industrial control transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations for general purpose industrial applications. These transformers are designed for reliable performance in control panels and machinery. The 166G50 specifically addresses needs for moderate power levels with center-tapped outputs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hammond 166 series models with identical electrical specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the same chassis mounting footprint and wire lead configuration. Cross-reference part numbers like 166G50 equivalents from other manufacturers only if datasheet parameters match exactly.
