Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -C2) required for your application, as it may indicate variations in lead time or packaging compared to the base model. Confirm that the 20VA rating and 4200Vrms isolation meet your safety standards. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches your PCB layout constraints before ordering.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20VA laminated core transformer with split bobbin architecture is required. Choose based on the need for dual primary flexibility (115V/230V) and dual secondary options (18V/36V). Consider the physical dimensions of 57.15mm x 47.63mm x 36.50mm for enclosure space planning.
