RLD-2240-7-10

Power Transformers Overview

The RLD-2240-7-10 is a 36VA power transformer manufactured by Renco Electronics, Inc. It features a primary winding rated for 115V or 230V operation at 50/60 Hz, configured in parallel. The secondary output provides dual voltages: a 5V winding capable of 7.2A and a 10V winding capable of 3.6A. Both secondary windings are designed for parallel or series connection flexibility. The component utilizes a through-hole mounting style with an 8-pin configuration.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual secondary voltage outputs providing 5V and 10V capabilities
• Supports both parallel and series secondary winding configurations
• Through-hole mounting design for standard PCB integration

Power Transformers Applications

• General purpose AC to DC power supply units
• Electronic equipment requiring multiple low-voltage DC rails
• Industrial control systems utilizing 36VA power requirements

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pinout configuration against the official Renco Electronics datasheet before integration. Confirm that the 8-pin header matches your board layout. Ensure input voltage selection aligns with local mains standards (115V vs 230V). Check thermal management requirements as this is a 36VA unit. Validate that the through-hole footprint dimensions correspond to your manufacturing capabilities.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a single transformer must provide two distinct secondary voltages (5V and 10V) from one core. It is suitable for designs where space is limited but multiple isolated or common-ground rails are needed. Consider the 36VA total rating to ensure it meets the combined load current of both secondary circuits without exceeding thermal limits.

Power Transformers Part Context

This component belongs to the RLD-2240 series of power transformers from Renco Electronics. The series offers various secondary voltage and current combinations while maintaining a consistent primary interface and form factor. This specific variant is defined by its 5V/7.2A and 10V/3.6A secondary specifications within the 36VA class.

Power Transformers Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers such as RLD-2240-2-10 or RLD-2240-3-10 if different secondary currents are acceptable. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 8-pin configuration and 36VA VA rating to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
