F24-1500

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F24-1500 is a board-mount power transformer designed for through-hole installation. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC input voltages. The secondary side provides a center-tapped output of 24.0 VCT at a maximum current of 1.5 A, delivering a total power rating of 36 VA. The component measures 66.7 mm in length, 55.6 mm in width, and 39.7 mm in height. It holds UL and cUL certifications for safety compliance.

Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding configuration supports both 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation
• Center-tapped secondary output delivers 24.0 VCT at 1.5 A
• Through-hole PC pin termination style for board mounting
• UL and cUL certified for international safety standards

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Industrial control panel power distribution
• Consumer electronics requiring isolated low voltage DC
• Audio equipment power stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -C2) against your schematic requirements, as it may indicate variations in insulation class or packaging. Confirm that the 36 VA rating meets your peak load demands. Ensure the PCB footprint matches the 66.7 x 55.6 mm dimensions. Check lead times with authorized distributors due to potential supply chain fluctuations for magnetic components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 24 VCT secondary is required for full-wave rectification applications. The dual primary design simplifies global voltage compatibility without needing separate part numbers for different regions. Consider the physical size constraints, as the through-hole package occupies significant board area compared to surface mount alternatives. Verify thermal management needs based on the 36 VA continuous rating.

Part Context

The F24 series represents Triad Magnetics' standard line of general-purpose power transformers. These components are widely used in legacy and modern designs requiring reliable isolation between mains and low-voltage DC sides. The F24-1500 specifically addresses higher current needs within the 24V secondary family, bridging the gap between lower power variants like the F24-500 and specialized high-power units.

Replacement Considerations

Hammond Manufacturing part number 164J24 is a documented cross-reference for the F24-1500. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical specifications before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the same UL/cUL certification status if regulatory compliance is critical for the end product.
