F-318X

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F-318X is an industrial power transformer designed for chassis mounting with wire leads. It features a laminated core construction and supports dual primary voltages of 115VAC and 230VAC. The secondary output provides 6.3VCT at a current rating of 6.0A, resulting in a total power rating of 37.8VA. The unit includes seven terminals and offers 1500Vrms isolation. It operates at standard frequencies of 50Hz or 60Hz and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design with integrated wire leads for straightforward installation
• Dual primary voltage capability supporting both 115VAC and 230VAC inputs
• Laminated core construction optimized for industrial control applications

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring step-down power conversion
• Equipment needing isolated 6.3VAC power supplies
• Chassis-mounted electronic enclosures with limited space constraints

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal configuration and lead length requirements against your assembly drawings before ordering. Confirm that the chassis mounting holes align with the physical dimensions provided in the official datasheet. Ensure the operating environment temperature range is compatible with the transformer's insulation class. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for your final product deployment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 37.8VA capacity is sufficient for the load. The 6.3VCT secondary is suitable for rectified DC supply circuits. Consider the physical size constraints as it requires adequate clearance for heat dissipation. Verify that the input voltage matches either 115V or 230V configurations to avoid improper operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the F series of industrial power transformers from Triad Magnetics. The series is characterized by robust laminated core designs intended for general-purpose power transformation in industrial settings. The F-318X specifically addresses needs for moderate power levels with flexible primary voltage options.

Replacement Considerations

The Hammond Manufacturing part number 266PA6 is listed as a cross-reference substitute for the F-318X. Verify electrical specifications and mechanical fitment before substituting.
