RL-2240-6-24

Power Transformers Overview

The RL-2240-6-24 is a 20VA power transformer manufactured by Renco Electronics, Inc. It features a primary voltage of 115V and a secondary configuration offering parallel 12V at 1.6A or series 24V at 800mA. Designed for through-hole mounting, this component operates at 50/60 Hz. The unit measures 2.26 inches in length, 1.89 inches in width, and 1.4 inches in height. It is RoHS compliant and intended for general power conversion applications requiring specific voltage outputs.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Provides dual secondary output options via parallel or series connection configurations
• Designed for through-hole PCB mounting with standard leaded terminals
• Complies with RoHS environmental standards for restricted hazardous substances

Power Transformers Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply circuits
• Industrial control panel power distribution
• Electronic equipment requiring 12V or 24V isolated power sources

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact secondary configuration required (parallel 12V vs. series 24V) against circuit design specifications before ordering. Confirm that the physical dimensions and mounting style are compatible with the target PCB layout. Ensure the input voltage matches the 115V primary rating to prevent operational failure. Check for any specific regulatory certifications required by the end application market.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a 20VA capacity is sufficient for the load requirements. Choose between the parallel 12V or series 24V secondary option based on the downstream rectification and regulation needs. Consider the through-hole form factor if surface mount alternatives are not suitable for the mechanical constraints. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the installation site.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the Renco Electronics power transformer family, which typically includes various VA ratings and voltage configurations. These transformers are generally utilized in linear power supply designs where isolation and specific voltage transformation ratios are critical. The RL-2240 series represents a standard industrial grade offering for reliable power conversion.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 20VA rating, 115V primary, and identical secondary voltage/current characteristics. Physical footprint compatibility is essential for direct replacement without PCB modification. Verify that alternative components meet the same safety and environmental compliance standards.
