BV054-5222.0

Overview

The BV054-5222.0 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics Corporation, designed for through-hole mounting applications. It features a 16VA power rating with a primary winding rated for 230V input. The secondary configuration provides dual outputs: an 18V winding capable of 888mA in parallel mode or 444mA in series mode, and a second 18V winding offering identical current capabilities in parallel (888mA) or series (444mA) configurations. This component complies with RoHS standards and is lead-free.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction for efficient magnetic flux transfer
• Dual secondary windings supporting flexible voltage and current configurations
• Through-hole mounting design for robust mechanical integration

Applications

• Industrial power supply units requiring isolated AC conversion
• Equipment needing multiple secondary voltage rails from a single transformer
• General-purpose electronic systems utilizing through-hole assembly processes

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm exact pinout assignments and thermal characteristics before integration. Ensure that the selected mounting orientation aligns with the mechanical constraints of the target PCB layout. Confirm compliance requirements match the final product's regulatory needs, specifically regarding lead-free status and RoHS directives. Cross-reference the primary voltage rating with the intended input source to prevent operational mismatch.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16VA capacity is required with specific dual secondary output options. The choice depends on whether the application benefits from the parallel high-current capability or the series higher-voltage configuration. Consider the physical dimensions and weight specifications relative to the enclosure space available. Evaluate the thermal performance under maximum load conditions to ensure reliable operation within the specified temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BV054 series of laminated power transformers from Pulse Electronics. Similar models in this family, such as the BV054-5328.0 and BV054-5343.0, share the same 16VA rating and through-hole form factor but differ in secondary winding configurations. The series is characterized by standard industrial packaging and consistent mechanical dimensions across variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 16VA rating, 230V primary, and compatible secondary voltage/current profiles. Verify that alternative components support the same through-hole mounting style and laminated core technology. Check for equivalent electrical isolation ratings and frequency response characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
