IF-18-10

Power Transformers Overview

The IF-18-10 is an 18VA laminated power transformer designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features dual primary windings rated for 115V and 230V AC operation at 50/60 Hz. The secondary configuration provides a center-tapped 10V output at 1.8A or dual 5V outputs at 3.6A. This component includes a Class B insulation system and offers a dielectric strength of 4000Vrms between windings.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual primary winding design supports flexible input voltage selection
• Center-tapped secondary architecture enables versatile output configurations
• High dielectric isolation ensures safety compliance

Power Transformers Applications

• Low profile electronic equipment requiring compact magnetics
• Power supplies utilizing center-tapped rectification
• Industrial control systems with standard AC inputs

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary configuration required, as the part number denotes a center-tapped 10V @ 1.8A variant. Confirm that the through-hole mounting style aligns with the target PCB layout. Ensure the operating environment remains within the Class B insulation temperature limits specified in the official datasheet to maintain reliability and safety certifications.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when space constraints necessitate a low-profile form factor compared to chassis-mounted alternatives. It is suitable for applications requiring galvanic isolation with moderate power handling capabilities. Consider the physical dimensions and lead spacing to ensure compatibility with the assembly process and available board real estate.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Signal Transformer line of standard power transformers. It utilizes a laminated core construction encapsulated for environmental protection. The series is engineered for general-purpose AC-to-AC conversion in commercial and industrial electronics where reliable isolation and standardized pinouts are required.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 18VA rating, 115/230V primary, and 10V CT secondary specifications. Verify footprint compatibility and electrical parameters before integration.
