F36-1000-C2

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F36-1000-C2 is a Class 2/3 power transformer designed for PCB mounting. It features a single primary winding rated at 115 VAC and dual secondary windings providing 36 VCT at 1000 mA or 18 V at 2000 mA. The unit delivers a maximum power rating of 36 VA with a 2500 Vrms isolation voltage. Constructed with a laminated core and split bobbin, it utilizes PC pin through-hole termination. Physical dimensions are approximately 66.68 mm in length, 55.55 mm in width, and 39.70 mm in height.

Feature Summary

• Provides versatile secondary output configurations via dual windings supporting series or parallel connections.
• Features UL and cUL Class 2/3 safety approvals for compliance in low-energy applications.
• Utilizes a split bobbin design to enhance electrical isolation between windings.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring isolated power supplies
• Audio equipment power stages
• Medical devices adhering to Class 2 safety standards
• Consumer electronics with PCB-mounted transformer requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific Class 2 or Class 3 certification requirement against your target application's regulatory standards before ordering. Confirm that the 115 VAC primary input matches your local mains voltage infrastructure. Ensure PCB layout accommodates the specified through-hole pin spacing and physical footprint constraints to prevent mechanical interference during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, board-mount solution is required for moderate power levels up to 36 VA. The dual secondary configuration offers flexibility for generating multiple voltage rails from a single transformer. Consider the thermal dissipation characteristics of the laminated core design relative to the enclosure environment. This model is suitable for designs prioritizing standard safety certifications over high-frequency operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to Triad Magnetics' Split Pack series, which emphasizes enhanced isolation capabilities through specialized bobbin construction. The F36 series generally targets general-purpose power transformation needs where space efficiency and regulatory compliance are critical. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy transformers in existing industrial and commercial equipment designs.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance if considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure that any cross-reference maintains the same Class 2/3 safety ratings and isolation voltage specifications.
