185F16-BULK

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 185F16-BULK is a low voltage power transformer from the 185 series, rated at 130 VA. It features dual primary windings for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation at 50/60 Hz. The secondary configuration provides dual outputs capable of 16 VAC CT, supporting series or parallel connections with current ratings up to 8.1 A per winding or 16.2 A in parallel. Designed for chassis mounting, it utilizes quick connect terminals and undergoes a 4,000 VRMS hi-pot test.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design supports flexible 115 VAC and 230 VAC input configurations
• Dual secondary windings allow for versatile series or parallel connection options
• Chassis mount construction with quick connect terminal ends for secure installation

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial automation control panels
• Low voltage power supply systems
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated AC power

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BULK indicates bulk packaging rather than retail box. Confirm electrical parameters match system requirements, specifically the 130 VA rating and 16V CT secondary configuration. Ensure chassis mounting dimensions accommodate the enclosure design. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when dual secondary flexibility is required for series or parallel output arrangements. The 130 VA rating suits moderate power applications compared to lower capacity units. Verify that the chassis mount style fits the available panel space. Consider the quick connect termination type for wiring compatibility with existing harnesses.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Hammond 185 Series, which covers low voltage chassis mount transformers ranging from 25 VA to 175 VA. The series is designed for industrial environments requiring reliable power conversion. The 185F16 represents a mid-range capacity option within this lineup, offering robust performance for standard industrial control applications.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Hammond 185 series models with matching VA ratings. Verify that any replacement maintains the dual primary and dual secondary winding configuration. Ensure physical dimensions and terminal types are compatible with existing mounting structures and wiring.
