185F10

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 185F10 is a laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation at 50/60 Hz. The secondary configuration provides dual 5 VAC outputs, supporting parallel connection for 10 A or series connection for 10 VAC center-tapped (CT) output at 13.0 A. With a total power rating of 130 VA, the unit utilizes quick connect terminals for electrical interfacing. Physical dimensions are approximately 77.98 mm in length, 71.37 mm in width, and 85.6 mm in height.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual bobbin construction with laminated core design
• Supports both parallel and series secondary winding configurations
• High-potential tested to 4,000 VRMS isolation
• Chassis mount style with quick connect termination

Power Transformers Applications

• Low voltage rectifier circuits
• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Audio equipment power stages
• General purpose AC to DC conversion systems

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required packaging format, as bulk variants may differ from boxed units. Confirm shipping restrictions apply due to weight or size limitations in certain regions. Ensure the input voltage selection aligns with the dual primary winding capability before installation. Cross-reference the datasheet for exact terminal pinouts to prevent wiring errors during assembly.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a 130 VA capacity is required for chassis-mounted applications. Choose the parallel secondary configuration if a higher current output at lower voltage is needed. Opt for the series CT configuration for balanced dual-rail power requirements. Verify that the physical envelope fits within the designated chassis space and that quick connect terminals are compatible with the system harness.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 185 Series, which offers various power ratings and voltage configurations for industrial use. Similar models include the 185E10, which provides an 80 VA rating with comparable voltage specifications but different current capabilities. The series is characterized by robust laminated cores and standardized chassis mounting footprints for easy integration into enclosures.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

The 185E10 serves as a lower-power alternative within the same series. Verify that the reduced 80 VA rating meets the load requirements. Check dimensional compatibility and terminal alignment to ensure mechanical interchangeability without modifying the chassis structure.
