F36-1000

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F36-1000 is a laminated core power transformer designed for through-hole mounting. It features a single primary winding rated for 115 VAC operation at 50 Hz or 60 Hz frequencies. The secondary configuration provides dual windings supporting parallel connection for 18 VAC at 2 A, or series connection for 36 VAC at 1 A. With a total power rating of 36 VA, this component ensures reliable voltage transformation for industrial control applications requiring robust electrical isolation.

Feature Summary

• Split bobbin construction enhances inter-winding insulation and safety performance
• Dual secondary windings allow flexible series or parallel output configurations
• Laminated core design supports stable operation at standard line frequencies

Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• Medical equipment internal power stages
• General purpose AC to DC rectifier input transformers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants like F36-1000-C2 may exist with different regulatory certifications or pinout configurations. Confirm that the 115V primary rating matches your local mains supply voltage. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the through-hole pin spacing and physical dimensions specified in the official datasheet to prevent mechanical stress during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 36 VA solution is required for 115V systems. The split bobbin architecture is critical for applications demanding high isolation reliability. Consider the thermal dissipation characteristics of the laminated core if operating near maximum load. Verify that the available secondary currents meet the downstream circuit requirements without exceeding the transformer's continuous rating.

Part Context

This component belongs to Triad Magnetics' Split Pack series, which focuses on Class 2 and Class 3 safety isolated transformers. The F36-1000 utilizes a traditional laminated steel core rather than ferrite, making it suitable for low-frequency power distribution. It serves as a foundational isolation stage in linear power supply designs where size constraints are moderate but electrical safety standards are strict.

Replacement Considerations

The F36-1000-C2 is a documented variant within the same family. Verify if the C2 suffix indicates a specific UL/cUL certification update or packaging change before substitution. No other direct cross-model replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
