166L6

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166L6 is a low voltage industrial power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 115 VAC and a single secondary winding providing 6 VAC with a center tap. The unit has a power rating of 3 VA and supports a maximum secondary current of 0.5 A. Operating frequencies include 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with a temperature range from 0°C to +130°C. Physical dimensions are approximately 60.45 mm in length, 35.05 mm in width, and 35.05 mm in height, utilizing wire leads for termination.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design with wire lead termination
• Single primary and single secondary winding configuration
• Low voltage output with center tap capability
• Industrial control transformer classification

Applications

• Industrial control panels
• Equipment requiring low voltage AC power
• Chassis mounted electronic assemblies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage requirement against the datasheet, as the 166 series includes variants with different voltage ratings such as 6V, 8V, and 10V. Confirm that the 3 VA power rating meets the load requirements of the application circuit. Ensure the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination are compatible with the assembly design. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, low-power transformer is needed for chassis installation. The 166L6 provides a 6V center-tapped output suitable for small signal or logic circuits. Compare with other 166 series parts like the 166G8 or 166J6 if different voltage or current levels are required. Consider the physical footprint constraints given its specific dimensional profile.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing 166 Series of industrial control transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations tailored for general industrial applications. These transformers are characterized by their laminated core construction and robust chassis mounting capabilities, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 166G8 (8V CT) or 166J6 (6.3V CT) if slight voltage variations are acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 3 VA rating and chassis mounting form factor to ensure mechanical compatibility.
