229C20-BULK

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 229C20-BULK is a board-mount power transformer from the 229 series, designed for low-profile applications. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The secondary output provides 20 VAC center-tapped configuration with a total power rating of 24 VA. Current capabilities include 1.2 A at 20 VAC and 2.4 A at 10 VAC. The unit utilizes through-hole solder pin termination for PCB integration. Physical dimensions are optimized for space-constrained designs, maintaining a compact profile suitable for industrial and commercial equipment requiring reliable isolation.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Low-profile construction for space-efficient PCB mounting
• Dual primary winding support for universal voltage input
• Center-tapped secondary output configuration
• Through-hole solder pin termination

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Commercial instrumentation
• Power supply units
• Electronic test equipment

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '-BULK' aligns with your packaging requirements, as standard retail listings may indicate individual unit packaging rather than bulk quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor documentation before finalizing procurement. Ensure the lead time matches production schedules, as manufacturing cycles can vary based on order volume and regional availability constraints.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 VA power rating and 20 VAC center-tapped output are required for low-voltage applications. The dual primary winding design allows flexibility for both 115 VAC and 230 VAC input sources without rewiring. Consider the physical dimensions and through-hole mounting style to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and enclosure constraints compared to higher-power variants in the same series.

Power Transformers Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Hammond 229 series, which specializes in low-profile, board-mount power transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations to suit different electronic design needs. The 229C20 variant specifically addresses applications requiring moderate power delivery with a compact footprint, distinguishing it from larger chassis-mount alternatives or lower-power general-purpose transformers.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the 229 series include models with similar VA ratings and voltage outputs, such as the 229A20 for lower power or 229B-series for different voltage taps. Verify that any replacement maintains the same center-tapped configuration and through-hole pin spacing to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the PCB.
