F-45X

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F-45X is a laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a single primary winding rated for 115V AC input and a single secondary winding providing 24V AC output. The unit has a power rating of 24VA and operates at a frequency of 60Hz. Constructed with an isolating design, it provides electrical separation between the primary and secondary circuits. The transformer utilizes a bobbin construction typical of standard EI core configurations, offering a compact form factor suitable for direct use in power supply, rectifier, or filter applications.

Feature Summary

• Chassis mount design for secure mechanical installation
• Isolating transformer configuration for circuit safety
• Single primary to single secondary winding topology
• Laminated core construction for efficient magnetic coupling

Applications

• Direct use in power supply circuits
• Integration into rectifier circuits
• Implementation in filter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the F-45X part number to ensure correct voltage ratings and mounting style. Confirm that the application environment supports the thermal characteristics of a 24VA laminated core transformer. Check that the chassis mounting holes align with the physical dimensions provided in the official datasheet. Ensure the input voltage matches the 115V specification before installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24V AC output from a 115V AC source is required in a chassis-mounted format. Consider the 24VA power limit to ensure the load current does not exceed 1A. Choose this model over toroidal variants if standard EI core construction and lower cost are preferred. Verify that the isolation requirements are met by the single-to-single winding design.

Part Context

The F-45X belongs to Triad Magnetics' line of power supply transformers intended for general electronic equipment. It is categorized as a chassis mount unit, distinguishing it from PCB mount or wall plug-in alternatives within the manufacturer's portfolio. This series is designed for straightforward integration into AC-powered devices requiring isolated low-voltage DC generation.

Replacement Considerations

Public cross-reference data indicates the 166JB24 as a potential substitute. Verify compatibility regarding physical dimensions, pinout, and electrical specifications before substitution. Ensure the alternative part meets the same 24VA rating and 24V output requirement.
