RL-2240-5-12

Power Transformers Overview

The RL-2240-5-12 is a linear power transformer manufactured by Renco Electronics, Inc., designed for 50/60 Hz operation. It features a primary voltage of 115V and a secondary configuration offering 6.3V parallel or 12.6V series outputs. The unit provides current ratings of 2A in parallel mode and 1A in series mode, with a total power rating of 12VA. It utilizes a through-hole mounting style and includes mounting brackets and quick connector solder terminals for ease of installation.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Shrouded design eliminates the need for electrostatic shielding due to low interwinding capacitance
• Supplied with mounting brackets and quick connector solder terminals for ease of use
• Hipot tested at 4000 VRMS for safety compliance

Power Transformers Applications

• General purpose power supply applications requiring 12VA isolation
• Equipment needing 6.3V or 12.6V secondary voltages
• Chassis mounted electronic assemblies

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application circuit matches the required secondary voltage configuration (parallel 6.3V or series 12.6V) and corresponding current limits (2A or 1A). Confirm that the chassis mount form factor and terminal type are compatible with the target enclosure design. Ensure input voltage aligns with the 115V primary specification before ordering samples for final validation.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12VA linear transformer is required with dual secondary output options. Choose the parallel configuration for lower voltage/higher current needs or the series configuration for higher voltage/lower current requirements. Consider the physical dimensions and chassis mount style against available space constraints in the target assembly.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the RL-2240 series of Dual/Trans™ power transformers from Renco Electronics. These units are UL Recognized (E132629) and meet UL, CSA, VDE, and IEC specifications. The series offers various VA ratings and voltage combinations, all featuring shrouded designs and standardized mounting hardware for consistent integration across different power supply designs.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the RL-2240 series for alternative voltage configurations such as RL-2240-5-10. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 12VA rating, 115V primary input, and through-hole mounting compatibility.
