167M36

Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 167M36 is a laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mounting in industrial control applications. It features a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC and a single secondary winding providing 36 VAC with a center tap. The unit has a maximum power rating of 108 VA and supports a secondary current of 3 A. Operating frequencies are specified at 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with a temperature range from 0°C to +130°C. Electrical isolation is rated at 2000 Vrms. The component utilizes wire leads for termination and measures approximately 63.5 mm in length, 66.8 mm in width, and 66.8 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Enclosed chassis mount construction for secure installation
• Laminated core design for efficient power transformation
• Single primary and single secondary winding configuration
• Center-tapped secondary output capability

Applications

• Industrial control panels
• Low voltage filament circuits
• General purpose power supply input stages
• Equipment requiring isolated low voltage AC sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage and current requirements against the 36 VAC CT and 3 A specifications before ordering. Confirm that the chassis mounting dimensions and wire lead termination style match the enclosure design. Ensure the operating environment stays within the 0°C to +130°C temperature range. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Validate that the 115 VAC primary input matches the available supply voltage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 108 VA capacity is sufficient for the load. The 115 VAC primary input is standard for North American and similar regions. The center-tapped 36 VAC output is suitable for full-wave rectification or dual rail applications. Consider the physical size constraints as the unit requires adequate clearance for heat dissipation. Verify that wire lead connections are compatible with the terminal block or wiring harness design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 167 series of industrial power transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations while maintaining a consistent enclosed chassis mount form factor. These transformers are engineered for durability in demanding industrial environments. The 167M36 specifically provides a mid-range power option within the lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Triad Magnetics F-252U is listed as a similar replacement part. Verify electrical parameters and physical dimensions before substitution. Ensure the replacement meets all safety and regulatory requirements of the original application.
