F16-800

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F16-800 is a PCB mount power transformer featuring a split bobbin design and laminated core. It operates at 50Hz or 60Hz with a maximum power rating of 12VA. The unit includes dual primary windings rated for 115V input and dual secondary windings providing 8V parallel or 16V series output configurations. Maximum current ratings are 1.6A in parallel mode and 800mA in series mode. The component utilizes PC pin termination for through-hole installation.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin construction enhances electrical isolation between windings
• Dual primary winding configuration supports flexible voltage input options
• Dual secondary winding allows selectable parallel or series output connections

Applications

• PC board mounted power supply circuits
• Industrial control systems requiring isolated power conversion
• Electronic equipment utilizing standard AC line frequencies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as F16-800-C2 may carry distinct regulatory classifications like Class 2 compliance compared to the base model. Confirm that the required insulation class and safety certifications align with the target application's regional standards before finalizing procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the necessary isolation voltage requirements for the intended circuit topology.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, board-mount solution is required for low-power applications up to 12VA. The split bobbin architecture is suitable for designs demanding enhanced inter-winding isolation. Engineers should evaluate the physical dimensions of 47.63mm by 39.67mm to ensure adequate clearance on the printed circuit board layout. Consider the through-hole mounting style for mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments.
