185C16-BULK

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 185C16-BULK is an industrial power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a 25 VA power rating with dual primary windings supporting 115 VAC and 230 VAC inputs. The secondary configuration provides 16 VAC center-tapped output at 1.6 A, allowing for series or parallel connections to achieve 3.2 A operation. Operating at 50 Hz/60 Hz, the unit utilizes quick connect terminals for installation. Its physical dimensions are 56.39 mm in length, 71.37 mm in width, and 58.67 mm in height, with a weight of approximately 548.8 g.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding capability for flexible 115V or 230V AC input selection
• Dual secondary windings enabling configurable series or parallel output connections
• High-potential insulation test rated at 4,000 VRMS for safety assurance

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Low voltage rectifier circuits
• Chassis-mounted equipment requiring isolated AC power

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'BULK' aligns with your packaging requirements, as it may indicate loose component shipping rather than individual retail packaging. Confirm that the chassis mounting style and quick-connect terminal type match your existing assembly infrastructure. Ensure the 25 VA rating meets the continuous load demands of your application without exceeding thermal limits defined in the official datasheet.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, chassis-mount solution is required for converting standard line voltages to lower control voltages. The dual secondary design offers versatility for different bridge rectifier configurations. Consider the physical footprint and weight constraints of the enclosure. This transformer is suitable for applications where high-voltage isolation and reliable performance at 50/60 Hz are critical specifications.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 185 Series of industrial control transformers. These units are engineered for durability in demanding environments, featuring robust steel construction and standardized mounting patterns. The series is widely used in automation and machinery where stable, isolated power sources are necessary for sensitive control logic and signaling components.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative models by matching electrical ratings (25 VA, 16V CT @ 1.6A), mounting style, and terminal types.
