241-8-36L

Power Transformers Overview

The Signal Transformer 241-8-36L is a single-phase laminated core power transformer designed for industrial applications. It features a primary voltage rating of 115 VAC or 230 VAC and operates at 50/60 Hz frequencies. The unit provides a secondary output of 36 VCT (Voltage Center Tap) with a current capacity of 2.8 A, resulting in a total power rating of 100 VA. Key electrical specifications include a dielectric strength of 2500 Vrms. The component utilizes a chassis mounting style and is constructed with a laminated core design to ensure efficient energy transfer.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Chassis mount construction for secure installation
• Laminated core design for standard power transformation
• Dual primary voltage compatibility

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control panels
• Power supply units requiring isolated AC voltage
• Equipment needing 36V center-tapped secondary output

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., DP-241-8-36L vs 241-8-36L) against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm exact pinout and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the application environment supports the thermal characteristics of a 100 VA laminated transformer. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Cross-reference the primary voltage rating with your input source to prevent mismatch.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a 100 VA isolation transformer with a 36 VCT secondary is required. The dual primary rating allows flexibility for 115 VAC or 230 VAC input systems. Consider the physical chassis mounting constraints and the need for high dielectric strength insulation. This component is suitable for general industrial power distribution where standard frequency operation is sufficient.

Power Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the Signal Transformer 241 series of laminated core power transformers. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations. The 241-8-36L specifically denotes the 100 VA variant within this lineup. It is manufactured by Bel Fuse under the Signal Transformer brand, catering to industrial and commercial power conversion needs.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Check equivalent models from the same 241 series with matching VA ratings and secondary voltages. Verify that any substitute maintains the same chassis mounting footprint and terminal configuration. Ensure the replacement meets the same dielectric strength and frequency requirements.
