F16-150-C2

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F16-160-C2 is a laminated core power transformer from the Split Pack series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115V and 230V operation at 50Hz or 60Hz. The unit provides dual secondary outputs with configurable parallel or series connections. In parallel mode, it delivers 8V at 300mA; in series mode, it provides 16V at 150mA. The maximum power rating is 2.4VA to 2.5VA depending on the specific datasheet version. It offers 4200Vrms isolation voltage and measures approximately 35mm x 30mm.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin construction for reduced inter-winding capacitance
• Dual primary windings supporting multiple input voltages
• Configurable dual secondary outputs for flexible voltage requirements
• High isolation voltage for safety compliance

Applications

• General purpose AC power supply circuits
• Industrial control equipment
• Consumer electronics requiring isolated power
• Audio equipment power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation, as variations such as FS16-150-C2 may exist with similar but distinct specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the selected variant matches the required pinout and physical dimensions for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee parameter accuracy.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, through-hole transformer with split bobbin technology is required for noise-sensitive applications. The dual primary design allows compatibility with both 115V and 230V mains without rewiring. Consider the 4200Vrms isolation rating for safety-critical designs. Verify that the 2.4VA/2.5VA power budget meets the load requirements of the downstream circuitry before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This transformer belongs to Triad Magnetics' Split Pack series, which utilizes a split bobbin design to minimize parasitic capacitance between windings. This series is widely used in applications where electromagnetic interference suppression is important. The laminated core construction provides efficient magnetic coupling while maintaining a low profile suitable for standard through-hole assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the same FS16 or F16 series from Triad Magnetics. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 2.4VA/2.5VA rating, 4200Vrms isolation, and physical footprint. Ensure the replacement part supports the same primary voltage configurations and secondary output flexibility.
