VTX-151-1562

Overview

The Vigortronix VTX-151-1562 is a precision current sensing transformer designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features a turns ratio of 1:1000 and supports a primary current rating of 15A. The device operates within a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, making it suitable for applications requiring accurate current monitoring across low-frequency bands. The component utilizes PC pin terminals for secure electrical connections.

Feature Summary

• Precision current transformation with a fixed 1:1000 turns ratio
• Designed for through-hole printed circuit board installation
• Operational capability across a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency spectrum

Applications

• Current overload sensing
• Metering systems
• Ground fault detection

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package dimensions and terminal pitch against your PCB footprint requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 15A primary current rating aligns with your maximum expected load conditions. Ensure the 20Hz lower frequency limit meets your application's operational bandwidth needs. Cross-reference the datasheet version to confirm any recent updates to mechanical specifications or material composition.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high isolation current transformer with a 1:1000 ratio is required for frequencies extending down to 20Hz. Consider the through-hole form factor if surface-mount alternatives are unsuitable for your assembly process. Evaluate the 15A nominal current capacity against peak load scenarios to ensure reliable operation without saturation. Compare against other VTX series models if different ratios or frequency ranges better suit the design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vigortronix VTX series of current sense transformers, which are engineered for robust performance in industrial and commercial electronic equipment. The series typically offers epoxy encapsulation for environmental protection and consistent electrical characteristics. These components serve as critical interfaces between high-current circuits and low-voltage sensing electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Vigortronix models within the VTX-151 series offering identical 1:1000 ratios and similar current ratings. Verify mechanical compatibility and terminal configuration when considering cross-manufacturer alternatives.
