F-362XP

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F-362XP is a laminated core power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features an 115V/230V primary input with parallel configuration and a dual secondary output providing 10V or 20V at 0.5A depending on series or parallel connection. The unit has a 10VA power rating, operates at 50/60Hz, and utilizes solder pin termination. It includes internal shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and meets UL safety standards for isolation.

Feature Summary

• Dual secondary winding configuration allows flexible voltage selection via series or parallel connections
• Internal electrostatic shielding reduces capacitive coupling between primary and secondary windings
• Laminated core construction provides efficient magnetic flux path for standard power applications
• PCB mount design with solder pin terminations facilitates direct board integration

Applications

• Audio equipment power supplies requiring isolated low-voltage AC inputs
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard 115V or 230V mains distribution
• Test and measurement instruments needing stable transformer-isolated power stages
• Consumer electronics assemblies requiring compact board-mount isolation transformers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary voltage requirement (10V parallel vs 20V series) against the circuit design before ordering. Confirm that the 10VA rating and 0.5A current capacity meet the load demands. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the 8-pin through-hole specification. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in regulated regions. Validate that the encapsulated housing fits within the mechanical constraints of the final assembly enclosure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a shielded, board-mount power transformer is required for 50/60Hz applications. The F-362XP is suitable for designs needing galvanic isolation between mains and low-voltage circuits. Consider the physical dimensions and weight if space or mass is constrained. Compare against non-shielded alternatives if EMI sensitivity is low. Ensure the primary voltage matches the local mains supply configuration.

Part Context

The F-362XP belongs to Triad Magnetics' general-purpose power transformer lineup. It is part of a family of laminated core transformers designed for board-level integration. Similar models in the series may offer different voltage taps or power ratings while maintaining the same form factor and mounting style. This component serves as a standard isolation stage in linear power supply architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference documents indicate potential equivalents such as Hammond 160G20. Verify electrical parameters including VA rating, voltage taps, and current capacity before substitution. Confirm mechanical compatibility including pinout, lead spacing, and mounting hole positions. Ensure insulation class and safety certifications match the original design requirements.
