PAM-PT-40-15R

Power Transformers Overview

The PAM-PT-40-15R is a 40W power transformer manufactured by Pacific Transformer. It features a 120V primary winding designed for standard line voltage operation. The secondary configuration provides two distinct outputs: a high-voltage winding delivering 770V at 200mA, and a low-voltage filament winding supplying 6.3V at 4A. This component utilizes chassis mount construction for secure installation within audio equipment enclosures.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual secondary windings providing separate high-voltage and filament power supplies
• Chassis mount design for stable mechanical integration in amplifier chassis
• Optimized for vacuum tube audio circuitry requiring specific current ratings

Power Transformers Applications

• Fender Bassman amplifiers (models 6G6A, 6G6B)
• Fender Twin amplifiers (model 6G8A)
• Fender Showman amplifiers (model 6G14A)
• Fender Super amplifiers (model 6G4A)

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact model suffix when ordering, as variants such as PAM-PT-40-15RZ exist with different primary voltage configurations. Confirm that the 120V primary specification matches your regional power supply standards before purchase. Ensure the chassis mounting holes align with your existing amplifier frame to avoid modification requirements during installation.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this unit specifically for Fender Brownface era amplifiers requiring a 40W rating with 770V/200mA and 6.3V/4A secondary outputs. Do not substitute with international variants like the RZ model unless the primary voltage input is adjusted to match 100V-240V ranges. Verify physical dimensions and lead wire lengths against the original factory specifications to ensure proper fitment within the chassis.

Power Transformers Part Context

This transformer belongs to the Pacific Audio Magnetics series of replacement components designed for vintage guitar amplifiers. It serves as a direct functional replacement for original equipment manufacturer parts used in classic Fender designs from the mid-1960s. The product maintains the electrical characteristics necessary for authentic tube amplifier operation.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

The PAM-PT-40-15RZ is a related variant offering multi-voltage primary options (100V-240V). Use this only if operating in regions with non-standard voltages or if the amplifier has been modified for international use. Standard US models require the 120V primary found in the PAM-PT-40-15R.
