The 1609 is a 10 W push-pull tube output transformer with a higher 10,000 ohm centre-tapped primary, rated for 100 mA DC per side, and 4, 8 and 16 ohm secondary taps. Sharing the compact frame of the 1608, it gives builders of two-tube push-pull amplifiers using the 6AQ5, 6V6, 6BQ5, EL84 or SV83 a higher plate-to-plate load option.
Construction follows the classic series design: the transformer is enclosed (shielded), with 4 slot, above chassis Type "X" mounting, plastic coil forms for coil support and insulation, and insulated flexible leads (9 in minimum per the part drawing). Frequency response is 30 Hz to 30 kHz at full rated power, +/- 1 db max (ref. 1 kHz) minimum. Because of the unique interleaving of the windings, both secondary windings must be engaged to meet specifications.
Dimensions from the series table are A 2.50 in (64 mm), B 2.75 in (70 mm), C 3.06 in (78 mm), D 2.00 in (51 mm) and E 1.69 in (43 mm), with 0.20 x 0.38 in mounting slots. Typical electrical data from the drawing includes a primary inductance of 255H / 120KOhm, leakage inductance of 14.60mH, a dielectric strength of 2000Vrms and a temperature range of -40 to 105C. Shipping weight is 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg).
The 1609 label is marked Made in Canada, and the part is REACH and RoHS compliant. The manufacturer notes that tube operating conditions change the optimum plate-to-plate load, so consult a tube manual or data sheet before choosing an output transformer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary and secondary impedances of the 1609?▾
The primary is 10,000 ct ohms and the secondary offers 4-8-16 ohm taps.
Which tubes is it suggested for?▾
Suggested tube types are 6AQ5, 6V6, 6BQ5, EL84, SV83, in Push-Pull (2 Tubes) operation. The manufacturer advises consulting a tube manual or data sheet first, since operating conditions change the optimum plate-to-plate load.
Do I need to connect both secondary windings?▾
Yes. Due to the unique interleaving of the windings, both secondary windings must be engaged to meet specifications; see the hook-up diagrams.
How is the 1609 mounted?▾
It is enclosed with 4 slot, above chassis Type "X" mounting; the drawing shows Ø0.203 x 0.375 in slots.
What is the difference between the 1609 and the 1608?▾
Both are 10 W with 100 mA DC per side and the same dimensions; the 1609 has a 10,000 ohm CT primary while the 1608 has an 8,000 ohm CT primary.
