BV020-5386.0

Power Transformers Overview

The BV020-5386.0 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics Corporation, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 230V and a single secondary winding providing 18V output. The unit has a maximum power rating of 0.5VA, supporting a maximum output current of 27.8mA. This component utilizes a standard laminated core construction suitable for general power supply applications requiring isolation between primary and secondary circuits.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction for reliable magnetic performance
• Through-hole termination style for secure board integration
• Single primary to single secondary winding configuration
• Provides electrical isolation between input and output circuits

Power Transformers Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supplies
• Low power electronic equipment requiring isolated DC rails
• Control circuitry powering components from mains voltage

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage requirement against the design schematic before procurement. Confirm that the 0.5VA power rating and 27.8mA current capacity meet the load demands of the target application. Ensure the through-hole footprint dimensions are compatible with the printed circuit board layout. Check for any RoHS compliance requirements relevant to the manufacturing region.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power isolated transformer is required for mains-powered devices. Consider the physical size constraints as it is designed for through-hole assembly. Evaluate if the 18V secondary voltage aligns with downstream regulation needs. Compare against similar models in the BV020 series for alternative voltage outputs or higher power ratings if the load exceeds 0.5VA.

Power Transformers Part Context

This part belongs to the BV020 series of power transformers from Pulse Electronics, which offers various configurations for different voltage and power requirements. Similar parts in the series include the BV020-5385.0 (15V output) and BV048-5386.0 (higher power rating). These components share common form factors but differ in electrical specifications to suit diverse application needs.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 0.5VA, 230V-to-18V transformers from Pulse Electronics or other manufacturers with identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify that any replacement maintains the same insulation class and safety certifications.
