F16-400

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F16-400 is a board-mount power transformer featuring a split bobbin design and laminated core construction. It operates at 50Hz or 60Hz with a single primary winding rated for 115V input. The unit provides dual secondary windings delivering 8V in parallel configuration at 800mA, or 16V center-tapped (16.0Vct) in series configuration at 400mA. With a maximum power rating of 6VA, it utilizes PC pin termination for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin architecture designed for versatile PCB applications
• Laminated core construction for efficient magnetic coupling
• Dual secondary winding capability supporting parallel or series configurations
• PC pin termination for secure through-hole installation

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Low voltage electronic equipment requiring isolated power
• Audio amplifier power stages
• Control panel instrumentation power distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact electrical characteristics and insulation class. Ensure the selected variant matches the required primary voltage and secondary current ratings for the target application. Confirm compliance with relevant safety certifications such as UL/cUL before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact board-mount solution is required for low-power isolation. The split bobbin design facilitates easier winding access during manufacturing. Verify that the 6VA power rating meets the load requirements. Ensure the physical footprint and pin spacing are compatible with the printed circuit board layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Split Pack™ series from Triad Magnetics, which specializes in versatile transformers for printed circuit board integration. The series offers various power ratings and voltage configurations tailored for space-constrained electronic designs requiring reliable galvanic isolation between primary and secondary circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers such as 164F16 may serve as functional equivalents. Verify that any substitute maintains identical primary voltage, secondary configuration, and power rating specifications to ensure circuit compatibility.
