166N6

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 166N6 is a low voltage industrial control transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC at 60 Hz and a center-tapped secondary output of 6.3 VAC. The unit provides a power rating of 25.2 VA with a maximum secondary current capacity of 4 A. Physical dimensions are 3.25 inches in length, 1.75 inches in width, and 2.00 inches in height. It utilizes wire leads for termination and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +130°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides a center-tapped secondary voltage suitable for filament or low-voltage control applications
• Constructed with a laminated core for efficient energy transfer
• Designed for direct chassis mounting using standard hardware
• Features wire lead terminations for straightforward circuit integration

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring low voltage power distribution
• Filament power supplies for vacuum tubes or indicator lamps
• General purpose step-down transformation in machinery
• Control circuit isolation in electrical systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage configuration and physical footprint against your equipment requirements before ordering. Confirm that the wire lead gauge and length meet your internal wiring constraints. Ensure the chassis mounting holes align with your panel design specifications. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for your specific installation environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 6.3 VAC center-tapped output is required from a standard 115 VAC source. Consider the 25.2 VA power rating to ensure sufficient capacity for all connected loads. Evaluate the chassis mount style against available space in the enclosure. Compare the physical dimensions with other series options if size constraints are critical to the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 166 series of industrial control transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations to suit different industrial needs. These transformers are characterized by their robust construction and reliability in demanding environments. The 166N6 specifically addresses applications needing moderate current at low voltage.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Hammond 166 series models with identical electrical parameters but different physical sizes. Verify compatibility with third-party equivalents by matching primary/secondary voltages, VA rating, and mounting hole patterns. Ensure replacement units maintain the same insulation class and operating temperature limits.
