Hammond 166K12B 12.6V CT 1.5A Power Transformer, 117V 50/60Hz Primary

The 166K12B is a low voltage/filament power transformer from the 166 Series of economical single-primary, open style chassis mount transformers. It takes a 117V 50/60 Hz. primary and delivers a 12.6 V center-tapped (C.T.) secondary rated 1.5 A RMS, for a power rating of 18.9 VA. It suits OEM engineers, equipment builders and technicians who need a compact line-to-low-voltage transformer that bolts directly to a chassis. It is one of the 117V 50/60 Hz. "B" variants in the series table, rated 18.9 VA with a 12.6 V C.T. secondary at 1.5 A.

Construction is open style with a channel bracket and two-hole chassis mounting. A dual bobbin design means no electrostatic shield is required, and the series uses Class B insulation (130 °C) for extra protection, while the design is UL listed as Class A (105 °C). Leads are a minimum of 6 in long. The drawing schematic shows black primary leads and green secondary leads, with a green/yellow center-tap lead.

Overall dimensions from the series table are A 3.25 in (83 mm), B 2.00 in (51 mm) and C 2.00 in (51 mm), with a D (hole-to-hole mounting) dimension of 2.81 in (71 mm); the mounting dimension column lists 0.19 in (5 mm) (mounting ref. C). The part drawing gives A 3.25 in / 82.6 mm, B 2 in / 50.8 mm, C 2 in / 50.8 mm, D 2.81 in / 71.4 mm and a width-wise mounting hole size of 0.187 in / 4.7 mm. Shipping weight is 1.5 lbs (0.68 kg).

The 166 Series is hi-pot tested at 2,000V RMS, UL listed and CSA certified, and this part is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant.
