DPC-12-100

Overview

The DPC-12-100 is a laminated core power transformer from the PC series, designed for through-hole printed circuit board mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation in parallel configuration. The secondary winding provides dual outputs of 6.3 VAC or 12.6 VAC center-tapped, supporting currents of 200 mA (parallel) or 100 mA (series). With a power rating of 1.2 VA and an operating frequency range of 50 Hz to 500 Hz, it ensures reliable voltage transformation for industrial control applications.

Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design supports flexible input voltage selection between 115V and 230V AC systems.
• Split bobbin construction with dual secondary windings allows configurable output voltages and current ratings.
• Through-hole termination style facilitates secure integration into standard PCB layouts.

Applications

• Industrial control circuits requiring isolated power supply
• Electronic equipment needing 50Hz to 500Hz frequency operation
• Chassis-mounted or panel-mount assembly designs

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required secondary configuration, as dual secondaries can be wired in series or parallel depending on system needs. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Ensure the through-hole footprint dimensions align with your PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, low-power transformer is needed for PCB integration. The dual primary capability makes it suitable for global deployment across different mains voltage standards. Consider the physical dimensions and weight relative to available board space, as the laminated core adds mass compared to high-frequency alternatives.

Part Context

This model belongs to the PC series of miniature low-power transformers manufactured by Signal Transformer. These components are engineered for general-purpose power isolation in electronic assemblies. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations to meet diverse industry requirements while maintaining a standardized form factor for easy substitution within compatible designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models from the same PC series with matching electrical specifications. Verify that any replacement maintains the same through-hole pinout and physical envelope to ensure mechanical compatibility without redesigning the host circuit board layout.
