The 166G36 is a low voltage/filament power transformer from the Hammond 166 Series, supplying a 36 VAC center-tapped (C.T.) secondary rated at 0.5 A for a total of 18 VA from a single 115V 60 Hz primary. It is intended for designers, OEM engineers and repair technicians who need a compact, open style transformer that bolts straight to a chassis.
Its single 115 VAC, 60 Hz primary keeps the design economical; if a project needs 117/234 V or 50/60 Hz operation, or dual secondaries, the manufacturer points to its 266 Series instead. The secondary is center tapped, giving access to the midpoint of the 36 VAC winding.
Construction is open style with a channel bracket and two-hole chassis mount, and the transformer uses a dual bobbin design, so no electrostatic shield is required. Leads are a minimum of 6 in long. Insulation is Class B (130 °C) for extra protection, while the design is UL listed as Class A (105 °C).
Overall dimensions are 3.25 in (83 mm) (A), 1.63 in (41 mm) (B) and 2.00 in (51 mm) (C), with 2.81 in (71 mm) between mounting holes (D) and 0.19 in (5 mm) mounting holes. Shipping weight is 0.9 lbs (0.41 kg).
The design carries a hi-pot test of 2,000 V RMS, and the series is UL listed and CSA certified. The 166G36 is also listed as RoHS and REACH compliant.
Ideal For
- Low voltage 36 VAC supply for chassis-mounted electronic equipment
- Filament supply transformer at 0.5 A
- Circuits needing a center-tapped 36 VAC secondary
- Equipment powered from 115 VAC, 60 Hz mains
- Replacement or OEM power transformer for 18 VA loads
