BV048-5216.0

Overview

The BV048-5216.0 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics. It features a primary voltage of 230V configured for parallel operation. The secondary side provides dual outputs: a 12V winding and a 24V winding, both capable of series or parallel configurations. The unit has a power rating of 10VA. Current ratings are specified as 832mA for the parallel 12V configuration and 416mA for the parallel 24V configuration.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction for standard power transformation applications
• Dual secondary windings allowing flexible series or parallel output configurations
• Through-hole mounting style for PCB integration

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply units
• Industrial control systems requiring isolated low voltage DC rails
• Consumer electronics power adapters

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a laminated core design rather than an alternative topology. Confirm that the physical dimensions and pinout match the target PCB footprint. Ensure the operating frequency aligns with the transformer's design specifications. Check that the thermal management capabilities meet the system's continuous load requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10VA isolation barrier is required between a 230V primary source and multiple secondary loads. The dual secondary option simplifies designs needing both 12V and 24V rails from a single magnetic component. Consider the through-hole form factor if surface mount alternatives are unsuitable for mechanical stability.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Pulse Electronics power transformer portfolio, specifically designed for mains-powered equipment. It serves as a fundamental isolation component in linear power supplies. The laminated core technology offers a cost-effective solution for lower frequency operations compared to high-frequency switch-mode transformers.
