187C36

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 187C36 is a laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mounting in industrial control applications. It features a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC input and a single secondary winding providing 36 VAC center-tapped output. The unit has a power rating of 12.6 VA with a secondary current capacity of 350 mA. Operating at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, it utilizes quick connect terminals for electrical connections. The physical dimensions are optimized for standard chassis integration, ensuring reliable voltage transformation for low-voltage control circuits.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design for secure industrial installation
• Laminated core construction for efficient power transformation
• Single primary to single secondary winding configuration
• Quick connect terminal type for simplified wiring

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Low voltage control circuit powering
• Equipment requiring 36V AC center-tapped sources

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number 187C36 against official Hammond Manufacturing documentation to confirm electrical ratings and physical dimensions. Ensure compatibility with existing chassis mounting holes and terminal spacing. Confirm that the 115VAC primary voltage matches the available supply line. Check for any regional compliance requirements such as RoHS status before finalizing procurement orders.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12.6 VA transformer is required for 115VAC to 36VAC CT conversion. Consider the chassis mount style and quick connect terminals for assembly constraints. Evaluate the physical size against available panel space. Compare against other series members if different voltage taps or power ratings are needed. Ensure the operating frequency range of 50/60 Hz aligns with the system requirements.

Power Transformers Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond 187 Series, which offers various power ratings and voltage configurations for industrial use. The series provides standardized chassis-mount solutions for control panels. The 187C36 specifically addresses applications needing a 36V center-tapped output from a 115VAC source. It shares common mounting and terminal characteristics with other models in the 186-187 family.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with similar VA ratings and voltage outputs, such as the 187A36 (lower VA) or 187B16 (different voltage). Verify pinout and dimension compatibility before swapping. Cross-reference with Hammond's official replacement guide for exact functional equivalents.
