Hammond 144G 500CT to 8 Ohm Chassis Mount Output Audio Transformer

The 144G is a 143-146 Series output transformer that matches a 500 ohm center-tapped primary to an 8 ohm secondary. It is listed for output applications, suiting chassis mounted audio equipment that drives 8 ohm loads at signal power levels.

Rated output is 150 mW with 6 mA primary D.C. current. D.C. resistance is 27 ohms on the primary and 0.9 ohms on the secondary, both +/- 15%.

Mechanically, the 144G is a small, economical open type transformer with a two hole horizontal bracket for chassis mounting and overall dimensions of A 1.26 in (32 mm), B 0.69 in (18 mm), C 0.69 in (18 mm) and D 1.06 in (27 mm). It uses insulated, color coded flexible leads at least 4" long, and net weight is 0.5 oz. Where a P.C. board mounted version of this style is needed, the manufacturer refers to the 148 and 149 series.

Frequency response is 150 Hz to 15 kHz within +/- 1 dB, referenced to 1000 Hz. The manufacturer notes that operating at impedances below nominal lowers power capability and frequency spectrum proportionately, while higher impedances raise them. It follows schematic 3 in the series table and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant (UPC 623980191904).
