290GA is listed in the Power Transformers range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Hammond Manufacturing. Its product description is PWR XFMR 120VA CHAS MT. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The Hammond Manufacturing 290GA is a power transformer designed for industrial applications, specifically tube guitar amplifiers. It features a single primary winding rated at 117VAC and operates at a frequency of 60 Hz. The secondary configuration includes three windings with center taps, providing voltages of 260VCT, 6.3V, and 5V. Current ratings are specified as 170mA for the high-voltage section, 3A for the 6.3V winding, and 3A for the 5V winding. The unit utilizes pin terminals for connection and is constructed with an unshielded design.
Verify the exact secondary current requirements against the target amplifier schematic before procurement. Confirm that the pin terminal interface matches the chassis layout. Ensure the unshielded construction meets the electromagnetic interference requirements of the specific enclosure design. Cross-reference the 117VAC primary rating with the local mains voltage standards.
Select this component when a dedicated power transformer for vintage-style tube amplifiers is required. The 290 series offers standardized dimensions and electrical characteristics compatible with classic amplifier designs. Consider the unshielded nature if noise sensitivity is critical, or if external shielding will be implemented. Compare against other 290 series variants like the 290TX or 290XXA to ensure the voltage and current outputs align precisely with the vacuum tube plate and filament requirements.
The 290GA belongs to the Hammond Manufacturing 290 Series, which specializes in power transformers for tube-based audio equipment. This series is widely recognized in the musical instrument industry for replicating original specifications in reissue amplifiers. The GA suffix typically denotes specific winding configurations tailored for particular amplifier models, distinguishing it from other series members used in different power ranges or applications.
