183K36

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 183K36 is a laminated core power transformer with a maximum power rating of 56VA. It features dual primary windings rated for 115V and 230V, and dual secondary windings providing 18V in parallel or 36V in series configurations. The unit supports maximum output currents of 3.12A in parallel mode and 1.56A in series mode. Designed for through-hole mounting, it measures 76.20mm in length, 63.50mm in width, and has a maximum installation height of 46.02mm. The transformer provides 4000Vrms isolation voltage and weighs approximately 771.1 grams.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding configuration allows operation at both 115V and 230V input voltages.
• Flexible secondary output options provide either 18V parallel or 36V series connections.
• Robust 4000Vrms isolation voltage ensures safety between primary and secondary circuits.
• Laminated core construction supports high-power applications up to 56VA.

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring isolated AC power conversion
• Equipment needing dual-voltage primary compatibility (115V/230V)
• Applications requiring specific secondary voltage configurations (18V or 36V)
• Through-hole PCB assembly for power supply units

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number 183K36 against manufacturer documentation to confirm electrical ratings and physical dimensions. Ensure that the required isolation voltage of 4000Vrms meets system safety standards. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style and PC pin termination are compatible with the target printed circuit board layout. Check RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to the final product assembly.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 56VA power rating is necessary for the application. Choose this model if the design requires dual primary windings for global voltage compatibility. Consider this transformer if the system demands flexible secondary outputs of either 18V or 36V. Verify that the physical footprint of 76.20mm by 63.50mm fits within the available enclosure space.

Power Transformers Part Context

The 183K36 belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing 183 series of power transformers. This series utilizes laminated core technology rather than toroidal designs. The component is classified as an industrial power transformer intended for general-purpose electrical isolation and voltage transformation tasks.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Hammond Manufacturing catalogs for direct replacements within the 183 series. Verify that any substitute part matches the 56VA rating, 115V/230V primary inputs, and 18V/36V secondary outputs. Ensure physical dimensions and mounting styles are identical to maintain mechanical compatibility.
