166J36-BULK

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166J36-BULK is a laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 115 VAC and a single secondary winding providing 36 VAC center-tapped output with a maximum current of 1 A. The unit has a power rating of 36 VA and operates at frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Physical dimensions are 93.73 mm in length, 47.75 mm in width, and 58.67 mm in height. It utilizes wire leads for termination and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +130°C.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction for efficient power transformation
• Single primary and single secondary winding configuration
• Chassis mount installation style with wire lead terminations
• Center-tapped secondary output capability

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring low voltage power
• Equipment needing 115V AC input conversion to 36V AC
• Chassis-mounted electronic enclosures
• General purpose power supply applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official manufacturer documentation to confirm if the BULK variant differs electrically from standard packaging. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact physical and electrical specifications required for the application. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest datasheet before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36 VA capacity is required for chassis integration. The 115V primary voltage suits standard North American industrial power distributions. The 36V center-tapped secondary provides balanced output for rectification circuits. Consider the physical footprint and weight constraints relative to available enclosure space during the design phase.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond 166 series of industrial control transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations tailored for different industrial needs. The 166J36 specifically addresses applications requiring moderate power levels with a center-tapped secondary output. It represents a standard solution for converting line voltage to lower control voltages.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hammond models within the 166 series that match the 36 VA rating and 36V CT secondary specification. Verify compatibility regarding primary voltage, physical dimensions, and terminal type before substitution. Cross-reference with competitor industrial control transformers ensuring identical electrical parameters and mounting requirements.
