Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Hammond Manufacturing documentation to ensure correct voltage and current ratings. Confirm that the required insulation class and physical mounting style match the chassis design constraints. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the wire lead lengths are sufficient for the intended enclosure layout before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 100 VA isolation transformer with a 50V CT secondary is required. Compare physical dimensions against available chassis space to ensure fitment. Verify that the 115V primary input matches the available line voltage. Consider the thermal management requirements given the maximum operating temperature of 130°C. Ensure the wire lead termination method aligns with the system's connection infrastructure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 166 series of industrial control transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations tailored for general-purpose industrial equipment. These transformers are characterized by their robust construction and standardized mounting styles, facilitating integration into diverse control systems requiring reliable low-voltage power distribution.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Hammond Manufacturing catalogs for direct equivalents within the 166 series. Verify that any substitute maintains identical electrical parameters including 100 VA rating, 115V primary, and 50V CT secondary. Ensure physical compatibility regarding chassis mounting holes and overall envelope dimensions.
