Hammond 166K6B 6.3V CT 1.2A Power Transformer, 117V 50/60Hz Primary

The 166K6B 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 6.3 V center-tapped (C.T.) secondary rated 1.2 A RMS, for a power rating of 7.56 VA. It suits OEM engineers, equipment builders and technicians who need a compact line-to-low-voltage transformer that bolts directly to a chassis. The series table lists the 166K6 as the 115V 60 Hz. version with the same 6.3 V C.T. / 1.2 A rating and dimensions; the 166K6B is the one to choose when a 117V 50/60 Hz. primary is required.

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 2.81 in (71 mm), B 1.50 in (38 mm) and C 1.69 in (43 mm), with a D (hole-to-hole mounting) dimension of 2.38 in (60 mm); the mounting dimension column lists 0.19 in (5 mm) (mounting ref. C). The part drawing gives A 2.81 in / 71.4 mm, B 1.5 in / 38.1 mm, C 1.69 in / 42.9 mm, D 2.38 in / 60.5 mm and a width-wise mounting hole size of 0.187 in / 4.7 mm. Shipping weight is 0.63 lbs (0.29 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.
