F24-500

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F24-500 is a board-mount power transformer featuring a split bobbin construction and laminated core. It operates with a single primary winding rated at 115V and dual secondary windings providing 2 x 12V isolation. The unit delivers a total power capacity of 12VA, supporting a maximum current of 1A in parallel configuration or 500mA in series configuration. Designed for through-hole PCB mounting, it ensures electrical isolation of 2500Vrms between windings.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin design facilitates versatile printed circuit board integration
• Dual secondary windings allow flexible series or parallel voltage configurations
• Laminated core structure supports standard AC line frequencies

Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated low-voltage DC rails
• Industrial control systems utilizing board-mounted transformers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -C2) against the required datasheet revision, as variations may exist within the product family. Confirm that the 115V primary rating matches the local mains voltage standards of the deployment region. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the physical dimensions of the split bobbin assembly during PCB layout.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, board-mount solution is required for 12VA applications. The split bobbin architecture offers distinct advantages for thermal management and winding isolation compared to standard toroidal or E-core designs. Consider the 2500Vrms isolation rating for safety compliance in consumer or industrial electronics.
