166L6-BULK

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166L6-BULK is a low voltage power transformer designed for industrial applications. It features a single primary winding rated at 115 VAC and a center-tapped secondary output of 6.3 VAC. The unit provides a power rating of 12.6 VA with a maximum secondary current of 2 A. It utilizes wire leads for termination and is intended for chassis mounting. The transformer operates at frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, with a maximum operating temperature of +130°C and a minimum of 0°C.

Feature Summary

• Single primary winding configuration for standard AC mains input
• Center-tapped secondary output suitable for rectifier circuits
• Chassis mount design with wire lead terminations
• Compliant with CSA and UL safety standards

Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Low voltage rectifier circuit implementations
• Equipment requiring isolated 6.3V DC sources
• General purpose industrial power transformation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as bulk packaging may differ from standard retail units. Confirm that the shipping destination accepts USD-only transactions due to size or weight restrictions. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to +130°C operating temperature range. Check for regional compliance requirements regarding RoHS and REACH status before final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12.6 VA capacity and 6.3V center-tapped output are required. The 2A current rating supports moderate load applications. Consider the physical dimensions of 71.37mm length and 41.40mm width for enclosure fit. The open style construction requires adequate ventilation. Verify that the 115V primary voltage matches the available supply frequency of 50/60Hz.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 166 series of low voltage power transformers. The series offers various voltage and wattage configurations while maintaining consistent chassis mount form factors. The 166L6 variant specifically addresses needs for 6.3V outputs in industrial settings. It shares common design traits with other models in the family, such as laminated core construction and wire lead terminations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 166G8 for lower power needs or the 166G12 for similar current but higher voltage. For higher capacity, the 166L25B offers increased VA ratings. Ensure any replacement matches the 115V primary and chassis mounting constraints.
