Key Features

  • 2.4VA rating: 56V C.T. @ .045A with secondaries in series, 28V @ .09A in parallel
  • Single 115V primary for 50/60 Hz operation
  • No mounting hardware required at 2.4VA; industry-standard P.C. board pin spacing
  • Low-profile split bobbin, 1.38 x 1.13 x 1.19 in (L x W x H)
  • Dual non-concentric secondaries; low coupling, no electrostatic shield required
  • Class B 130 degrees C insulation, 2,500V RMS hipot
  • c UL us recognized; RoHS and REACH compliant

The 164E56 is a 2.4VA low-voltage power transformer designed to mount directly on a printed circuit board. It has a single 115V primary rated for 50/60 Hz operation and a low-profile, split bobbin construction, making it a fit for OEM engineers and board designers who need a 56V centre-tapped secondary in a compact footprint. The secondaries are rated 56V C.T. at 0.045A (series) or 28V at 0.09A (parallel).

Construction uses dual secondary windings, non-concentrically wound, which gives low primary-to-secondary coupling without the need for an electrostatic shield. The insulation system is Class B, rated 130 degrees C, with a 2,500V RMS hipot. All windings are intended to be used together in either the series or the parallel connection.

The E-size body measures 1.38 in long by 1.13 in wide by 1.19 in high and weighs 0.25 lb per the series specification sheet. At 2.4VA it needs no mounting hardware: the unit is held by its P.C. board pins, which use industry-standard pin spacing.

The transformer is c UL us recognized and listed as RoHS and REACH compliant. Where a design must run from 115V or 230V, the dual-primary equivalent in the same series is 162E56.

Ideal For

  • Low-voltage AC supply on printed circuit boards
  • Board-level designs needing 56V centre-tapped or 28V secondary
  • OEM equipment powered from 115V, 50/60 Hz mains
  • Low-profile PCB layouts with limited height

Frequently Asked Questions

What output voltage and current does the 164E56 provide?▾

With the two secondaries connected in series it provides 56V C.T. @ .045A; connected in parallel it provides 28V @ .09A. The transformer is rated 2.4VA.

Can I use only one of the secondary windings?▾

The series is designed so that all windings must be used, so connect both secondary windings, either in series for the centre-tapped output or in parallel for the lower-voltage, higher-current output.

What input voltage does the 164E56 accept?▾

It has a single 115V primary and operates on 50/60 Hz. For universal 115/230V dual-primary operation, the matching part in the series is 162E56.

How is it mounted?▾

It is a P.C. board mount transformer with industry-standard pin spacing. At 2.4VA no mounting hardware is required.

What are the dimensions of the 164E56?▾

The series specification sheet lists the E size at 1.38 in L x 1.13 in W x 1.19 in H, with a weight of 0.25 lb. Shipping weight is 0.22 lbs (0.10 kg).

What insulation and safety ratings does it carry?▾

Class B insulation rated 130 degrees C, a 2,500V RMS hipot, and c UL us recognition. It is also listed as RoHS and REACH compliant.
