VPS36-4800

Power Transformers Overview

The Triad Magnetics VPS36-4800 is a chassis-mount power transformer with a 175 VA rating. It features a laminated core and dual bobbin construction. The primary winding supports 115V or 230V input, configurable in parallel or series, for 50Hz or 60Hz operation. The secondary output provides 18V at 4.8A in center-tapped configuration, or 36V at 2.4A when wired in series. It utilizes quick-connect terminals for installation.

Power Transformers Feature Summary

• Dual bobbin construction for enhanced isolation
• Configurable primary voltage for global compatibility
• Quick-connect terminal interface for simplified mounting

Power Transformers Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Audio processing hardware

Power Transformers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pinout configuration required for your circuit design, as the secondary can be wired for different voltages. Confirm that the chassis mount footprint matches your enclosure constraints. Ensure the thermal environment allows for adequate heat dissipation from the laminated core during continuous operation.

Power Transformers Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, isolated AC-to-AC transformation is needed for industrial-grade applications. The dual bobbin design offers superior safety isolation compared to single-bobbin alternatives. Consider the physical size and weight limitations of your assembly, as chassis-mount transformers are heavier than PCB-mounted options.
