DPC-120-8

Overview

The DPC-120-8 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 1VA, designed for through-hole mounting. It features dual primary windings supporting 115V and 230V inputs in parallel configuration. The secondary side offers two outputs: a parallel connection providing 60V at 16mA, and a series connection providing 120V at 8mA. This component operates at standard 50/60 Hz frequencies and is suitable for applications requiring precise voltage transformation with low power consumption.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction for efficient magnetic flux transfer
• Dual primary winding capability for flexible input voltage selection
• Configurable secondary outputs allowing parallel or series connection modes

Applications

• Servo system power supplies
• Industrial control circuitry
• Low-power electronic equipment requiring isolated AC sources

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm RoHS compliance status and exact physical dimensions before integration. Ensure that the required secondary current ratings (16mA parallel or 8mA series) align with the load requirements of the target application. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the PCB design specifications to avoid mechanical assembly issues during manufacturing.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 1VA transformer is needed with flexible primary voltage options. It is appropriate for designs requiring either 60V or 120V secondary outputs from a single unit. Consider the physical size constraints and the need for through-hole mounting technology. Evaluate if the low current capacity meets the specific power demands of the downstream circuitry.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PC series of power transformers manufactured by Signal Transformer. The series typically includes various models with different power ratings and winding configurations. The DPC-120-8 specifically addresses needs for small form-factor transformers with dual secondary output capabilities, distinguishing it from higher-power variants in the same product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other models within the PC series offering similar 1VA ratings and through-hole mounting. Verify compatibility regarding primary voltage ranges and secondary output configurations. Ensure that any replacement part maintains the same laminated core construction and frequency response characteristics to preserve circuit performance.
