186C36-BULK

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 186C36-BULK is an industrial power transformer from the 186 Series, designed for chassis mounting. It features a dual primary winding configuration supporting 115 VAC and 230 VAC input voltages. The unit provides a single secondary output of 36 VAC center-tapped (CT) with a rated current of 350 mA. With a power rating of 12.6 VA, it operates at frequencies of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Electrical connections are made via quick connect terminals. The physical dimensions are 71.37 mm in length, 34.79 mm in width, and 41.14 mm in height, weighing approximately 304 grams.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design enables compatibility with both 115 VAC and 230 VAC supply lines.
• Center-tapped secondary output provides symmetrical voltage distribution for rectification circuits.
• Chassis mount construction allows for secure installation within industrial control enclosures.

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Low voltage AC signal conditioning
• Equipment requiring isolated 36V CT power sources

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required electrical specifications, particularly the 36V CT secondary and 12.6 VA rating. Confirm that the quick connect terminal type aligns with existing wiring harnesses. Ensure the chassis mounting style fits the intended enclosure layout. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36V center-tapped output is required from standard 115V or 230V inputs. The 12.6 VA rating suits low-power control applications. Consider the chassis mount form factor and quick connect terminals for integration ease. Compare against other series models if different current ratings or secondary configurations are needed.

Power Transformers Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond 186-187 Series of industrial control transformers. These units are characterized by laminated core construction and standardized chassis mounting dimensions. The series offers various voltage combinations to support diverse industrial control requirements while maintaining consistent physical footprints for design flexibility.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Hammond 186C36 for identical specifications. Verify that any substitute maintains the 36V CT secondary, 12.6 VA rating, and dual primary input capability. Ensure mechanical dimensions and terminal types match to avoid enclosure modifications.
