Part number 164F56 is a 6VA, 115V single-primary power transformer for P.C. board mounting. Built on a low-profile split bobbin and rated for 50/60 Hz, it gives electronics designers and OEM builders a 56V C.T. secondary that solders straight onto the board. The secondaries are rated 56V C.T. at 0.11A (series) or 28V at 0.22A (parallel).
Two secondary windings sit side by side on the split bobbin rather than concentrically, which keeps coupling between primary and secondary low and removes any need for an electrostatic shield. It carries Class B insulation (130 degrees C) and a 2,500V RMS hipot rating. The windings are designed so that all of them must be used.
On the series specification sheet the F-size body is 1.63 in long, 1.31 in wide and 1.31 in high, weighing 0.44 lb. The 6VA size uses two-hole mounting with #4 screws (mounting screws are not provided) in addition to its industry-standard P.C. board pins.
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 162F56.
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 164F56 provide?▾
With the two secondaries connected in series it provides 56V C.T. @ .11A; connected in parallel it provides 28V @ .22A. The transformer is rated 6VA.
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 164F56 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 162F56.
How is it mounted?▾
It mounts on a P.C. board with industry-standard pin spacing and uses two-hole mounting with #4 screws. Mounting screws are not provided.
What are the dimensions of the 164F56?▾
The series specification sheet lists the F size at 1.63 in L x 1.31 in W x 1.31 in H, with a weight of 0.44 lb. Shipping weight is 0.39 lbs (0.18 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.
