DPC-24-180

Overview

The DPC-24-180 is a low-power miniature laminated core power transformer manufactured by Signal Transformer. It features dual primary windings rated for 115V and 230V AC input, providing flexibility for global voltage applications. The secondary configuration offers two isolated outputs: an 8V winding capable of 3A and a 16V winding capable of 1.5A. With a maximum power rating of 4.4VA and an isolation voltage of 1500Vrms, this through-hole component operates within a frequency range of 50 Hz to 500 Hz.

Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design supports both 115V and 230V AC input voltages
• Provides two independent secondary outputs with distinct current ratings
• Laminated core construction ensures stable performance at standard frequencies

Applications

• Low power control circuits requiring multiple voltage rails
• Industrial equipment needing isolated secondary supplies
• Signal conditioning modules in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary current requirements against the datasheet specifications before procurement. Confirm that the operating frequency falls within the 50 Hz to 500 Hz range. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole pin spacing and physical dimensions. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this model when dual isolated secondary voltages are required from a single transformer unit. The 115V/230V dual primary allows use in regions with different mains standards without changing hardware. Consider the 4.4VA power limit to ensure it meets the total load demand of both secondary circuits simultaneously.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PC/DPC series of miniature low-power transformers from Signal Transformer. These units are designed for board-mount applications where space efficiency and electrical isolation are critical. The series typically utilizes laminated cores to provide reliable magnetic coupling for small signal and power transformation tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 4.4VA rating, 1500Vrms isolation, and identical pinout configuration. Verify that replacement parts support the same 115V/230V primary inputs and provide equivalent 8V/3A and 16V/1.5A secondary outputs.
