166L24

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166L24 is a low voltage filament power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a laminated core construction with a single primary winding rated for 115VAC at 60Hz operation. The unit provides a dual secondary output delivering 24VAC center-tapped at a current rating of 2A, resulting in a total power capacity of 48VA. The device utilizes wire leads for electrical connection and is engineered to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to +130°C.

Feature Summary

• Single primary winding configuration for simplified input integration
• Dual secondary winding design providing center-tapped output capability
• Chassis mount style with open wire lead termination for flexible wiring

Applications

• Industrial control panel power distribution
• Low voltage equipment filament supply
• Electronic instrument internal power conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage and frequency requirements against the datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the chassis mounting dimensions and wire lead lengths meet the mechanical layout constraints. Ensure the operating environment temperature remains within the specified limits to maintain performance and safety standards.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, economical solution is required for converting standard line voltage to a lower center-tapped potential. Consider the 48VA power rating to ensure adequate capacity for the connected load. Evaluate the physical footprint and weight constraints relative to the available chassis space.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 166 series of industrial power transformers manufactured by Hammond Manufacturing. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations tailored for general-purpose applications. The 166L24 specifically addresses needs for 24VAC center-tapped outputs in space-constrained industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Hammond models within the 166 series such as the 166M24 for higher power requirements. Verify compatibility with alternative manufacturers by matching the VA rating, primary/secondary voltages, and physical mounting dimensions.
