DST-6-56

Overview

The DST-6-56 is a laminated core power transformer from the Split-Tran series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation. The secondary configuration provides dual outputs: 56V center-tapped (28V) or parallel 28V. With a maximum power rating of 20VA, it supports currents of 350mA in series mode and 700mA in parallel mode. The unit measures 41.3mm in length, 33.3mm in width, and 33.3mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding capability for versatile voltage input
• Flexible secondary output options including center-tap and parallel configurations
• Laminated core construction for standard power applications

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring Class 2 isolation
• Equipment needing 56V or 28V AC power supplies
• Servo drive power circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the 20VA rating and dual primary configuration. Confirm mechanical fit within the enclosure given the 41.3mm x 33.3mm footprint. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole pin spacing and height constraints. Check regulatory compliance requirements against the manufacturer's RoHS documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust laminated transformer is needed for 115/230VAC inputs. It is suitable for designs requiring isolated secondary voltages of 28V or 56V CT. Consider the physical dimensions and thermal characteristics relative to the enclosure space. Evaluate if the 20VA capacity meets the peak load demands of the downstream circuitry.
