FD8-36

Power Transformers Overview

The Triad Magnetics FD8-36 is a chassis-mount power transformer with a 100 VA rating. It features dual primary windings for 115 VAC and 230 VAC input, providing a 36.0 VCT secondary output at 2.8 A. The unit utilizes quick-connect terminals with lugs for installation and operates at 50/60 Hz.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Compact design offering reduced size and weight compared to standard transformers of equivalent VA rating
• Dual primary winding configuration supporting multiple input voltage standards
• Quick Pack mounting style with integrated lugs for simplified chassis installation

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring isolated power conversion
• Medical equipment power supplies adhering to safety isolation standards
• Electronic instrumentation and display projects needing stable low-voltage AC sources

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific terminal configuration matches your circuit board or wiring harness requirements. Confirm that the 100 VA rating meets the peak load demands of your application. Ensure the chassis mounting dimensions are compatible with your enclosure design before finalizing procurement.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when space constraints require a smaller footprint than traditional toroidal or laminated cores. Choose the FD8-36 over higher VA variants if the load current does not exceed 2.8 A. Consider the Quick Pack form factor for applications prioritizing rapid assembly and secure mechanical mounting via lugs.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Triad Magnetics Quick Pack series, engineered to minimize physical volume while maintaining industrial-grade performance. The series targets applications where standard transformers are too bulky, providing a compact solution for power distribution in constrained electronic enclosures.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other FD8 series models with matching electrical ratings, such as the FD8-24 or FD8-48, provided the secondary voltage aligns with system requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the same terminal type and mounting style to ensure mechanical compatibility.
