DPC-12-2000

Overview

The Signal Transformer DPC-12-2000 is a laminated core power transformer designed for through-hole mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation. The secondary configuration provides two outputs: 6.3V at 4.0A in parallel or 12.6V at 2.0A in series. With a power rating of 24 VA, the unit measures 41.3 mm in length, 57.2 mm in width, and 34.93 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding capability for flexible 115V or 230V AC input selection
• Versatile secondary output options allowing parallel 6.3V high-current or series 12.6V medium-current configurations
• Robust laminated core construction suitable for standard PCB integration

Applications

• Low power electronic equipment requiring isolated AC/DC conversion stages
• Industrial control systems utilizing 24VA power supplies
• Consumer electronics with specific 6.3V or 12.6V secondary voltage requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact secondary configuration required (parallel vs. series) against the application schematic before ordering. Confirm that the physical dimensions of 41.3 x 57.2 x 34.93 mm fit within the designated PCB footprint and enclosure space. Ensure the through-hole mounting style aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar PC/DPC variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24 VA isolation transformer is needed with specific 6.3V or 12.6V secondary outputs. It is appropriate for designs requiring dual primary voltage compatibility without external switching. Consider the through-hole form factor if surface-mount alternatives are unsuitable for mechanical stability or thermal reasons. Evaluate the laminated core size constraints against available board real estate.

Part Context

This model belongs to the DPC series of printed circuit mount power transformers from Signal Transformer. The series includes variants with different power ratings and secondary configurations, such as center-tap options. These transformers are engineered for general-purpose applications where reliable isolation and standardized mounting are prioritized over miniaturization.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other DPC series units with matching 24 VA ratings and compatible secondary voltages. Verify pinout compatibility and physical envelope dimensions before swapping. Alternative brands may offer equivalent electrical specifications but require validation of insulation class and regulatory approvals.
