- CSA certified (File # LR3902) and UL recognized (File #E207860)
- RoHS and REACH compliant
The 160K12 is a low voltage, vertical PC board mount power transformer with a universal dual 115/230V primary rated for 50/60 Hz. Rated 10 VA, it is intended for board-level linear supplies, instrumentation and control products built for both 115V and 230V markets.
The secondary is made of two windings. Connected in series they deliver 12.6V C.T. @ 800ma; connected in parallel they deliver 6.3V @ 1.6A. With a 12.6V center-tapped secondary, this part sits at the low-voltage end of the 5 to 120VAC RMS range the series covers.
At 10 VA the transformer is non-concentric wound. Its 160 series mechanical data lists overall dimensions of 1.94 x 1.44 x 1.69 in (A x B x C), D pins at 0.02 x 0.04 in, F pins at 0.03 x 0.19 in, and dimensions H 1.89 in and J 0.57 in; shipping weight is 0.64 lbs (0.29 kg). For 115V, 60 Hz-only designs the ordering table lists 161K12.
Construction uses a split bobbin with low primary-to-secondary coupling, so no electrostatic shield is required. Insulation is Class B (130 degrees C) and hipot tested to 2,000V RMS. The series is CSA certified (File # LR3902) and UL recognized (File #E207860), and this part is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant.
Ideal For
- 10 VA PC board mounted power supplies
- Center-tapped or parallel low voltage secondary supply
- Equipment designed for both 115V and 230V mains
- Control and electronic circuit boards needing an isolated AC supply

Frequently Asked Questions
What output does the 160K12 provide?▾
Its two secondary windings give 12.6V C.T. @ 800ma when connected in series, or 6.3V @ 1.6A when connected in parallel. The transformer is rated 10 VA.
Can the 160K12 run on 230V?▾
Yes. It has a universal dual primary rated 115/230V at 50/60 Hz.
Does it need an electrostatic shield?▾
No. The split bobbin design has low primary-to-secondary coupling, so no electrostatic shield is required.
What certifications and insulation ratings apply?▾
The series is CSA certified (File # LR3902) and UL recognized (File #E207860), with Class B insulation rated 130 degrees C and a hipot of 2,000V RMS. The part is also listed as RoHS and REACH compliant.
How big is the 160K12?▾
The 160 series mechanical table lists overall dimensions of 1.94 x 1.44 x 1.69 in (A x B x C) for the 10 VA size. Shipping weight is 0.64 lbs (0.29 kg).
