F5-12

Overview

The Triad Magnetics F5-12 is a laminated core power transformer designed for industrial control applications. It features a primary voltage rating of 115V and a secondary output of 12.6VCT at 1.0A, delivering a total power rating of 12VA. The unit utilizes quick connect terminals for electrical interfacing and employs a chassis mount installation style with flange mounting. Key physical dimensions include a length of 2.81 inches, width of 1.38 inches, and height of 1.63 inches. The component weighs approximately 317.5 grams and is constructed as a bobbin wound transformer.

Feature Summary

• Bobbin wound construction with laminated core design
• Chassis mount configuration with integrated flange
• Quick connect terminal interface for wiring
• UL/cUL certification for safety compliance

Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Audio equipment power supplies
• Test fixture power distribution
• Small motor drive circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct packaging variant, such as Quick Pack or bulk configurations, matches the project requirements. Confirm that the terminal type aligns with existing PCB or wire harness designs. Ensure the chassis mounting holes correspond to the mechanical layout. Validate that the 115V primary input matches the available supply voltage in the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12VA capacity is required for low-voltage AC applications. The 12.6VCT secondary provides flexibility for center-tapped rectifier circuits. Consider the chassis mount form factor if panel integration is preferred over PCB footprint constraints. Verify that the 1.0A current rating meets the load demands. Ensure the operating frequency range supports both 50Hz and 60Hz operation for global deployment compatibility.

Part Context
