F-345X

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F-345X is an industrial control power transformer designed for chassis mounting with wire leads. It features a laminated core construction and supports dual primary voltages of 115 VAC and 230 VAC. The secondary output provides 24 VCT at a maximum current of 1A, resulting in a 24 VA power rating. This component is suitable for applications requiring reliable step-down voltage conversion in industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design with integrated wire leads for straightforward installation
• Dual primary winding configuration supporting 115V and 230V AC inputs
• Center-tapped secondary output for flexible circuit integration

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring 24VAC power distribution
• Equipment needing isolation between primary mains and secondary circuits
• General purpose power supply stages in machinery control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Triad Magnetics to confirm mechanical dimensions and insulation class prior to integration. Ensure the application environment temperature remains within the specified operational limits. Cross-reference part numbers carefully as suffixes may indicate minor variations in packaging or certification status that do not alter electrical function.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 24 VA capacity is sufficient for the load requirements. The chassis mount style is appropriate for enclosures where direct panel attachment is preferred over PCB mounting. Consider the physical footprint constraints against the provided length, width, and height specifications to ensure compatibility with the target housing design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the F series of industrial control transformers manufactured by Triad Magnetics. The series typically offers robust performance for general industrial applications. The F-345X specifically addresses needs for 24VAC outputs derived from standard 115/230VAC line voltages, serving as a common interface between mains power and low-voltage control logic.

Replacement Considerations

Public cross-reference data indicates the Hammond Manufacturing part number 266J24 serves as a functional substitute. Verify pinout compatibility and mounting hole spacing before swapping components to ensure mechanical fit without modification.
