BV038-5196.0

Overview

The BV038-5196.0 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics. It features a single primary winding rated for 230V and a single secondary winding providing 15V at full load. The maximum output current is 214mA, with a maximum power rating of 3.2VA. This component utilizes through-hole mounting technology.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction
• Single primary to single secondary winding configuration
• Through-hole installation style

Applications

• Battery management systems (BMS)
• Energy storage solutions (ESS)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage and current ratings against your circuit requirements before procurement. Confirm that the through-hole package dimensions fit your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating frequency and environmental conditions specified in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 3.2VA isolation transformer is required for low-power applications. The 15V secondary output suits circuits needing moderate voltage step-down from standard mains inputs. Verify that the 214mA current capacity meets the load demands without exceeding thermal limits.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to Pulse Electronics' power transformer lineup designed for supporting leading vendors' silicon in battery and energy storage solutions. It delivers up to 2W of power across a high withstand voltage, ensuring reliable operation in critical energy management hardware.

Replacement Considerations

The BV042-5199.0 is a related product offering similar functionality but with different electrical specifications, including an 18V secondary output and 278mA current capacity. Evaluate these differences to ensure suitability for your specific application needs.
