PA2466NL

Overview

The PA2466NL is a surface-mount flyback transformer manufactured by Pulse Electronics, designed for board-level power applications. It utilizes an EP13 core configuration and supports input voltage ranges of 37V to 57V with a power rating of 24.8W. The component features a primary inductance of 37µH and is rated for maximum operating temperatures up to +130°C. It complies with EIA-481 tape and reel specifications for automated assembly.

Feature Summary

• Designed as a forward or flyback transformer for high-frequency switching applications
• Surface-mount construction compatible with automated PCB assembly processes
• EP13 core geometry optimized for compact power supply designs

Applications

• Flyback converter circuits
• Forward converter topologies
• Board-mounted power supplies within specified voltage ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and manufacturer documentation before integration. Confirm that the EP13 package dimensions and pinout match the target PCB footprint. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the +130°C maximum operating temperature rating during system design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing isolated power stages requiring a 37µH primary inductance and 24.8W capacity. The EP13 form factor suits space-constrained layouts. Validate compatibility with the intended switching frequency and input voltage range of 37V–57V against the application's electrical requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PA series of high-frequency wire-wound transformers from Pulse Electronics. It is categorized alongside other SMD power transformers like the PA2467NL, serving similar roles in isolated DC-DC conversion architectures where surface-mount efficiency and standardized packaging are required.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with PA2467NL for alternative flyback configurations. Verify pinout compatibility and inductance values before substitution. Consult official distributor databases for current availability and updated mechanical drawings.
