F20-600-C2

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F20-600-C2 is a laminated core power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 115V and a dual secondary configuration providing 20VCT at 600mA in series or 10V at 1.2A in parallel. The unit has a 12VA power rating, operates at 50Hz/60Hz, and utilizes a split bobbin construction with solder pin termination.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin construction for enhanced electrical isolation
• Dual secondary windings allowing flexible series or parallel output configurations
• Laminated core design optimized for standard line frequencies

Applications

• Class 2 and Class 3 low voltage power supplies
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated AC power sources
• Control circuitry utilizing split-bobbin isolation standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm UL/cUL Class 2/3 compliance ratings. Ensure the application circuit matches the required secondary configuration, as the part supports both series (20VCT) and parallel (10V) outputs depending on wiring. Confirm that the 115V primary input aligns with the target mains voltage before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a split-bobbin transformer is required for safety isolation in Class 2 or 3 circuits. It is suitable for applications needing either 20VCT at lower current or 10V at higher current from a 115V source. Consider the physical footprint and through-hole mounting requirements against available PCB space.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Triad Magnetics power transformer lineup, specifically engineered for printed circuit board assembly. The split bobbin architecture distinguishes it from standard wound transformers by providing superior inter-winding insulation, which is critical for meeting stringent safety agency requirements in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12VA rating, 115V primary, and dual secondary voltage/current specifications. Verify that any replacement also employs a split bobbin design if Class 2/3 isolation is mandated. Cross-reference pinout compatibility to ensure seamless PCB integration without rewiring.
