FD6-16

Power Transformers Overview

The FD6-16 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Triad Magnetics, designed for chassis mounting applications. It features a split bobbin construction and operates at 50Hz or 60Hz frequencies with a 30VA power rating. The primary winding supports dual voltage inputs of 115VAC and 230VAC, while the secondary provides a 16.0V output at 2.0A current capacity. The unit utilizes quick pack terminals equipped with lugs for secure electrical connections. Physical dimensions are optimized for industrial control enclosures, ensuring reliable performance in standard power distribution environments.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Split bobbin design for enhanced isolation and thermal management
• Dual primary voltage capability supporting 115V and 230VAC inputs
• Chassis mount configuration with integrated lug terminals for rapid installation

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control panel power supplies
• General purpose AC to AC voltage conversion
• Equipment requiring isolated low-voltage DC rectification input

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required primary voltage matches either 115V or 230AC specifications before integration. Confirm that the load current does not exceed the 2.0A secondary rating to prevent overheating. Ensure mechanical clearance accommodates the chassis mount footprint and lug terminal orientation. Check for compliance with relevant safety certifications such as UL or cUL if operating in regulated markets.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 30VA transformer is needed for chassis-mounted industrial applications. It is suitable for designs requiring galvanic isolation between primary and secondary circuits. Consider the physical size constraints and terminal type compatibility with existing wiring harnesses. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements within the enclosure to ensure adequate airflow around the laminated core structure.

Power Transformers Part Context

This model belongs to the Quick Pack series from Triad Magnetics, which focuses on reducing size and weight compared to traditional transformers of similar VA ratings. The series is engineered for high-volume industrial manufacturing where space efficiency and reliable mounting are critical. It serves as a standard solution for converting mains voltage to lower levels for downstream electronic circuitry.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Substitute parts must match the 30VA rating, 16V secondary output, and 2.0A current capacity. Verify identical primary voltage options (115V/230V) and chassis mount form factor. Ensure comparable insulation class and safety approvals for direct replacement in certified equipment.
