270CAX

Power Transformers Overview

The Hammond Manufacturing 270CAX is a high voltage power transformer rated at 65 VA. It features a single primary winding designed for 117 VAC input and operates at 60 Hz. The secondary configuration includes three windings: a high voltage output of 500 VAC center-tapped at 81 mA, a 6.3 VAC filament winding at 2.5 A, and a 5 VAC auxiliary winding at 2 A. The unit utilizes wire lead termination and is intended for chassis mounting. It belongs to the 200 Series and supports an operating temperature range from 0 C to +105 C.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous high voltage plate supply and multiple filament/auxiliary voltages
• Features dual secondary winding options for versatile circuit integration
• Designed for robust industrial control applications with chassis mounting

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial automation equipment requiring high voltage isolation
• Electronic test and measurement instrumentation

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required primary voltage matches the 117 VAC specification exactly. Confirm that the secondary current demands do not exceed the rated 81 mA for the high voltage section or the respective filament ratings. Ensure the physical chassis mounting dimensions accommodate the transformer's footprint and that wire lead connections are compatible with the target circuit board or terminal block design.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined high voltage and low voltage secondary solution is required in a single package. Compare against other models in the 200 Series if different power ratings or secondary configurations are needed. Consider the chassis mount style and wire lead termination type as critical installation factors. Evaluate thermal requirements to ensure operation within the specified temperature limits during continuous duty cycles.

Power Transformers Part Context

This transformer is part of Hammond Manufacturing's 200 Series, which focuses on industrial control and high voltage applications.
