Hammond 161G56 10VA 56V Center-Tapped PCB Power Transformer

The 161G56 is a 10 VA low voltage power transformer for printed circuit board mounting, built with a single 115V primary rated for 60 Hz only. Its secondary delivers 56V centre-tapped at 180mA when the windings are used in series, or 28V at 360mA when they are connected in parallel. It suits OEM engineers and designers who need a board-level 56V C.T. or 28V AC source from a 115V line.

Construction follows the 160-161 Series design: a vertical mount, split bobbin transformer; the 10 VA size is non-concentric wound. Low primary-to-secondary coupling means no electrostatic shield is required. Insulation is Class B (130 degrees C) with a Hipot rating of 2,000V RMS.

In the series mechanical table for the 10 VA size (161 Series), overall dimensions are A 1.94 in, B 1.44 in and C 1.69 in, with D (pin) 0.02 x 0.04 in, E 1.30 in, G 0.40 in, F 0.03 x 0.19 in, H 1.89 in and J 0.55 in. The shipping weight of this part is 0.33 lbs (0.15 kg).

The 161G56 is CSA certified (File # LR3902) and UL recognized (File #E207860), and it is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant. If the design must also run from 230V or 50 Hz supplies, the dual primary 115/230V counterpart in the ordering table is 160G56.
