F-218X

Power Transformers Overview

The Triad Magnetics F-218X is an industrial power transformer designed for chassis mounting with wire leads. It features a laminated core construction and operates at a frequency of 60 Hz. The unit has a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC input and a single secondary winding providing 12 VDC output at a current rating of 2.0 A. The maximum power rating is 24 VA. Physical dimensions are 1.88 inches in length, 3.25 inches in width, and 2 inches in height.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design with integrated wire leads for direct installation
• Single primary to single secondary winding configuration
• Laminated core construction for standard isolation applications

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control circuits requiring 115V to 12V step-down
• Power supply transformers for rectifier or filter circuits
• General purpose industrial equipment power distribution

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Triad Magnetics prior to ordering, as electrical specifications may be subject to revision. Confirm that the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination meet the mechanical requirements of the target enclosure. Ensure the 115V primary voltage aligns with the available line voltage in the application environment to prevent operational mismatch.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 24 VA capacity is sufficient for the load requirements. The chassis mount form factor is appropriate for open-frame installations where PCB space is limited but panel space is available. Consider the physical dimensions of 1.88 x 3.25 x 2 inches during layout planning to ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring access.

Power Transformers Part Context

This model belongs to the Triad Magnetics F series of industrial power transformers. The series offers various voltage configurations and power ratings tailored for general industrial use. The F-218X specifically addresses applications requiring a 12V secondary output from a standard 115V primary source, utilizing a traditional laminated core design rather than toroidal construction.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are documented for this specific model. Direct replacement requires matching the 24 VA power rating, 115V/12V voltage ratio, and chassis mount dimensions. Verify compatibility with existing mounting hardware and lead lengths before substituting with alternative industrial transformers.
