FS20-600

Power Transformers Overview

The Triad Magnetics FS20-600 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 12VA. It features a primary winding configured for 115V and 230V operation via parallel connection. The secondary output provides dual voltage options: 10V at 1.2A in parallel or 20V at 600mA in series. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component utilizes a split bobbin construction to facilitate nonconcentric winding arrangements suitable for printed circuit board applications.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Utilizes a split bobbin design for nonconcentrically wound windings
• Supports versatile primary voltage configurations for 115V and 230V systems
• Offers selectable secondary voltage outputs of 10V or 20V depending on connection method

Power Transformers Applications

• Printed circuit board power supply integration
• Audio equipment power stages
• Industrial control system power distribution

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation when ordering, as variants such as FS20-600-C2 exist with distinct pin configurations or class ratings. Confirm that the required electrical parameters match the intended circuit design before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout regarding through-hole spacing and physical dimensions. Cross-reference official datasheets to validate insulation class and safety certifications relevant to the final application environment.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this transformer based on the 12VA power requirement and the need for flexible primary voltage handling across 115V and 230V regions. The choice depends on whether the application requires a 10V/1.2A or 20V/0.6A secondary output configuration. Consider the physical constraints of the through-hole mounting style and the benefits of the split bobbin architecture for electromagnetic interference reduction in sensitive circuits.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Triad Split Pack™ family of power transformers. These units are engineered specifically for PC board applications, offering versatility through their unique split bobbin construction. The family emphasizes nonconcentric winding techniques to improve performance characteristics compared to traditional concentric designs, making them suitable for various electronic equipment requiring reliable power conversion.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

The FS20-600-C2 is a documented variant within the same product line. Verify if the C2 suffix indicates necessary differences in pinout or regulatory compliance for your specific assembly. Direct substitution requires confirmation that the electrical ratings and mechanical footprint remain compatible with the existing design constraints.
