RL-2250-5,0-20

Power Transformers Overview

The RL-2250-5,0-20 is a 5VA power transformer manufactured by Renco Electronics, Inc. It features a primary winding rated for parallel connection at 115V. The secondary configuration offers two output options: a parallel arrangement providing 10V at 500mA, or a series arrangement delivering 20V with a center tap at 250mA. This component utilizes through-hole mounting technology and is designed for standard 50/60 Hz operation frequencies.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Provides versatile secondary voltage configurations via parallel or series wiring options
• Designed for chassis or panel mounting applications using through-hole terminals
• Constructed to meet UL, CSA, VDE, and IEC safety specifications

Power Transformers Applications

• General purpose AC power supply circuits
• Industrial control equipment requiring isolated power stages
• Audio amplifier power sections

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific secondary winding configuration required for your design, as the part supports both parallel and series connections. Confirm that the 5VA rating aligns with the load requirements of the target application. Ensure compatibility with the 115V primary input voltage. Check for any specific mechanical mounting constraints related to the through-hole terminal style before finalizing the order.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 5VA isolation transformer is needed with flexible secondary output options. It is suitable for designs requiring either 10V high-current or 20V lower-current outputs from a single unit. Consider the physical dimensions and through-hole mounting requirements against available PCB space or chassis real estate.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the general power transformer category within Renco Electronics' lineup. It serves as an isolation device in linear power systems. The part number indicates its VA rating and specific winding configuration. It is distinct from higher-power variants like the RL-2260 series which offer greater capacity.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 5VA rating, 115V primary, and compatible secondary voltages (10V/500mA or 20V CT/250mA). Verify pinout compatibility and mounting hole spacing if replacing on existing hardware. Cross-reference with other manufacturers offering equivalent toroidal or E-core transformers with similar electrical characteristics.
