F20-1800

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F20-1800 is a laminated core power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a single primary winding rated for 115V AC input. The secondary configuration provides dual outputs: parallel connection yields 10V at 3.6A, while series connection delivers 20V center-tapped (20.0Vct) at 1.8A. This component belongs to the Split Pack series and utilizes through-hole termination for secure board integration.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin construction enhances versatility for printed circuit board applications
• Dual secondary output options allow flexible voltage and current configurations via parallel or series connections
• Laminated core design supports standard industrial power transformation requirements

Applications

• Industrial equipment power supplies
• Control panel electronics
• General purpose AC to DC conversion circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging and terminal specifications. Confirm that the required primary voltage matches the 115V rating. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole pin spacing and physical dimensions specified in the datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 20VA capacity is sufficient for the application load. Choose the parallel secondary configuration for higher current needs at lower voltage, or the series configuration for higher voltage isolation. Verify that the 115V primary input aligns with the available supply voltage in the target system design constraints.

Part Context

This component is part of the Triad Magnetics Split Pack series, which offers versatile transformers for various mounting styles. The F20-1800 specifically addresses applications requiring robust PCB integration with standardized electrical ratings. It serves as a fundamental power conversion element in systems needing reliable isolation between primary and secondary circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Triad Magnetics replacement guide for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any alternative component matches the 20VA rating, 115V primary, and compatible secondary voltage/current configurations. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility to avoid PCB redesign requirements.
