F36-065-C2

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F36-065-C2 is a Class 3 power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a single primary winding rated for 115VAC input and dual secondary windings providing a center-tapped 36VCT output at 65mA. The unit has a power rating of 2.5VA and operates at 50/60Hz. Key electrical specifications include an isolation voltage of 4200Vrms and a compact physical footprint with a height of approximately 1.187 inches (30mm).

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin construction for enhanced safety isolation.
• PC pin through-hole termination for direct board integration.
• UL and cUL approved inherently limited design.

Applications

• Low-power industrial control circuits
• Medical equipment internal power stages
• Consumer electronics requiring isolated AC-DC conversion

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision to confirm terminal configuration and insulation class compliance. Ensure the application circuit respects the 65mA current limit to prevent overheating. Confirm that the 115V primary rating matches the local supply voltage or requires series/parallel reconfiguration if operating at different voltages.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small, inherently limited transformer is required for low-current applications. It is suitable for designs needing galvanic isolation with minimal footprint. Consider thermal management as the VA rating is low; ensure adequate airflow or copper trace area for heat dissipation in enclosed assemblies.

Part Context

This part belongs to Triad Magnetics' Class 3 Power Transformer series, which focuses on safety-compliant, low-power solutions. These transformers are commonly used where strict isolation requirements and small form factors are critical, such as in portable devices or sensitive instrumentation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 2.5VA, 36VCT transformers from Triad's F-series or comparable models from manufacturers like Hammond Manufacturing. Verify pinout compatibility and physical dimensions before substitution to ensure PCB fit.
