LP-30-1600

Power Transformers Overview

The LP-30-1600 is a semi-toroidal power transformer from the LP series, designed for board mount applications. It features dual primary windings rated for 115 VAC and 230 VAC operation at 50/60 Hz. The secondary configuration provides a center-tapped output of 30 VCT or 15 V, supporting current ratings of 1.6 A in series mode and 3.2 A in parallel mode. With a total power rating of 48 VA, this component utilizes through-hole mounting technology.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Semi-toroidal laminated core construction optimized for low-profile PCB integration
• Dual primary winding capability allowing flexible connection to 115V or 230V AC lines
• Center-tapped secondary design enabling variable voltage and current configurations

Power Transformers Applications

• Critical low-height PC board applications requiring compact power solutions
• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Electronic equipment requiring isolated power transformation

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for precise dimensional tolerances and insulation class requirements before finalizing the design. Confirm that the selected mounting orientation aligns with the thermal management needs of the host system. Ensure input voltage matches the dual primary winding specifications to prevent operational failure. Cross-reference the secondary current rating against the load requirements to maintain safe operating margins within the 48 VA limit.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when space constraints necessitate a low-profile transformer with semi-toroidal geometry. Choose this part if the application requires a single unit to support both 115V and 230V input voltages via primary reconfiguration. Consider this component for designs where a center-tapped secondary is required to facilitate full-wave rectification or bipolar power rail generation without additional complex wiring.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the LP series of board-mount transformers manufactured by Signal Transformer. The series is characterized by its suitability for critical low-height applications, offering a balance between power density and physical footprint. These transformers are engineered for reliability in standard industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 48 VA power rating, 30 VCT secondary specification, and semi-toroidal form factor. Verify that any alternative part supports the same dual primary voltage options and through-hole mounting style to ensure mechanical compatibility.
