F-8X

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F-8X is a laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mounting. It features a single primary winding rated for 115VAC input and a single secondary winding providing 5VDC output at a maximum current of 6A. The unit has a power rating of 30VA and measures 95.25mm in length, with a maximum seated height of 57.94mm. It utilizes wire leads for termination and operates within a standard industrial temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Laminated core construction for reliable power transformation
• Chassis mount design with wire lead terminations
• Single primary and single secondary winding configuration

Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring low voltage DC power
• Equipment chassis integration for signal processing circuits
• General purpose power supply units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage and current requirements against the 115V primary and 5V/6A secondary specifications before ordering. Confirm that the chassis mounting style and wire lead termination are compatible with the target assembly. Ensure the 30VA power rating meets the load demands of the application to prevent overheating or performance degradation during continuous operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, chassis-mounted solution is required for stepping down standard line voltage to a low DC level. The F-8X is suitable for applications where space allows for its physical dimensions and where wire leads are preferred over PCB mounting. Consider the thermal environment to ensure the laminated core operates within safe limits under full load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Triad Magnetics F series of industrial control transformers. These components are engineered for durability in demanding environments. The F-8X specifically addresses needs for moderate power delivery in compact chassis installations, serving as a critical interface between AC mains and sensitive downstream electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 30VA rating, 115V primary, and 5V secondary specifications. Verify physical footprint compatibility for chassis mounting. Check if alternative models offer similar wire lead configurations to maintain existing wiring harnesses without modification.
