166G8

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166G8 is a low voltage industrial power transformer with a 4 VA rating. It features a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC at 60 Hz and a single secondary winding providing 8 VAC center-tapped output at 0.5 A. Designed for chassis mounting, the unit utilizes wire leads for termination. The physical dimensions are 60.45 mm in length, 35.05 mm in width, and 35.05 mm in height. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +130°C and supports frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design with horizontal channel bracket for two-hole C-style or open horizontal installation
• Single primary and single secondary winding configuration for standard isolation applications
• Wire lead termination style for direct circuit connection

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring low voltage step-down
• Equipment utilizing 8V AC center-tapped power supplies
• Chassis-mounted electronic assemblies needing isolated power sources

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 166G8 designation to ensure correct voltage and current ratings. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature limits. Ensure the mounting space accommodates the required chassis dimensions and wire lead lengths. Check for compliance requirements relevant to the target market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 VA capacity is sufficient for the load requirements. Choose this model if the system requires an 8V AC center-tapped secondary derived from a 115V AC primary source. Consider the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination method during the mechanical integration phase. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure operation stays below the maximum temperature limit.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing 166 series of industrial control transformers. The series provides various power ratings and voltage configurations suitable for general industrial equipment. These units are characterized by their laminated core construction and robust chassis mounting capabilities designed for reliable performance in controlled environments.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Hammond 166 series models such as 166M2 or 166M10 only if power ratings and voltage outputs align with system requirements. Verify that any substitute part maintains the same mounting style and electrical specifications to ensure compatibility.
