The 166M12 is a low voltage/filament power transformer from the 166 Series, rated 37.8 VA with a 117V 50/60 Hz. primary and a 12.6 V center-tapped (C.T.) secondary rated 3 A RMS. It is built for OEM engineers, panel builders and repair technicians who need an open style, channel bracket, two hole chassis mount transformer to derive a low AC voltage inside equipment. The 166M12 pairs a 117V 50/60 Hz primary with a 12.6 V center-tapped secondary rated 3 A, giving 37.8 VA; the manufacturer lists a 1.66 lb (0.75 kg) shipping weight.
Construction follows the 166 Series design: a dual bobbin winding arrangement, so no electrostatic shield is required, and Class B insulation (130 °C) for extra protection, with the design UL listed as Class A (105 °C). Each unit is Hi-Pot tested at 2,000V RMS. Leads are a minimum of 6 in long.
The manufacturer lists a shipping weight of 1.66 lbs (0.75 kg) for this part. Overall and mounting dimensions for this part number are not included in the supplied data, so confirm fit against the manufacturer drawing before designing it into a chassis.
The 166 Series is UL listed and CSA certified, and the 166M12 is marked RoHS compliant and REACH compliant. Identifiers include UPC 623980024646 and UNSPSC 39121301.
Ideal For
- Low voltage 12.6 V AC supply from a 117V 50/60 Hz line
- Filament and low voltage transformer applications
- 37.8 VA chassis-mounted power supplies in OEM equipment
