FS12-1000-C2

Power Transformers Overview

The Triad Magnetics FS12-1000-C2 is a Split Pack™ power transformer with a 12 VA rating. It features dual primary windings for 115V or 230V input at 50/60Hz. The secondary provides a center-tapped 12.6V configuration delivering 1A in series, or 6.3V delivering 2A in parallel. It utilizes a laminated core and PC pin through-hole mounting. Key electrical specifications include 4200Vrms isolation voltage and Class 2 compliance.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design supports flexible 115V or 230V AC input selection
• Versatile secondary output allows switching between series (12.6V @ 1A) and parallel (6.3V @ 2A) configurations
• High isolation voltage of 4200Vrms ensures enhanced safety separation
• Class 2 certified construction meets strict energy limitation standards

Power Transformers Applications

• Audio equipment power supplies
• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics requiring isolated power
• Medical device auxiliary power

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires Class 2 certification and 12 VA capacity. Confirm the secondary wiring matches the desired series or parallel output configuration. Ensure PCB layout accommodates the through-hole PC pin spacing and physical dimensions. Check for UL/cUL and TUV approval requirements in the target market.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12 VA transformer with high isolation is needed. Choose the series mode for higher voltage needs or parallel mode for higher current demands. Verify that the 115V/230V dual primary matches the available line voltage. Consider the physical size constraints for through-hole mounting on the target circuit board.

Power Transformers Part Context

This unit belongs to the Split Pack™ series from Triad Magnetics. These transformers are designed for general-purpose power applications requiring reliable isolation. The series offers various power ratings and output configurations to suit different electronic designs while maintaining compact form factors.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12 VA rating, 115/230V primary, and 12.6V CT secondary. Verify identical mounting style and pinout. Cross-reference Class 2 and UL/cUL certifications for regulatory compliance in the end product.

Power Transformers FAQ

Can the secondary be wired for both series and parallel operation?

Yes, the transformer supports both configurations. Series connection yields 12.6V at 1A, while parallel connection provides 6.3V at 2A.

What is the maximum isolation voltage?

The transformer provides an isolation voltage of 4200Vrms between primary and secondary windings.
