The 183F20 is a 5 VA low voltage power transformer that solders directly onto a printed circuit board. Two 115 V primary windings let it run from 115 VAC or 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz, and its two 10 V, 250 mA secondary windings combine to 20 V C.T. at 0.25 A in series or 10 V at 0.5 A in parallel. The manufacturer's drawing adds production test limits, useful for engineers qualifying the part.
Inside, a split bobbin with top shroud keeps the profile low, while the non-concentrically wound secondaries provide low primary-to-secondary coupling without an electrostatic shield. Insulation is Class F, rated 155 °C, and the unit carries a 4,000 V RMS hipot rating.
The 183F20 drawing specifies L 1.625" ±0.063, W 1.313" ±0.063 and H 1.360" ±0.063, with 0.025" SQ. ±0.005 square pins and a #4 mounting screw (two-hole mounting; screws not provided); the series table lists the 5 VA size nominally as 1.63 x 1.44 x 1.38 in.
For 115 V operation the two primaries (pins 1-3 and 4-6) are connected in parallel; for 230 V they are connected in series. Joining secondary pin 9 to pin 10 places the windings in series, and that connection acts as the center tap. Test limits on the drawing include 41mA maximum excitation current at 115 V, 60 Hz and a 4000 V, 60 Hz, 1 second primary-to-secondary hipot.
The 183 Series is cUL listed; 183F20 is RoHS and REACH compliant.
Ideal For
- 20 V C.T. or 10 V AC supply on a printed circuit board

Frequently Asked Questions
What output does the 183F20 provide?▾
It is rated 5 VA: 20V C.T. @ 0.25A with the secondaries connected in series, or 10V @ 0.5A with them connected in parallel. The windings can also be used separately.
Can it run on both 115 V and 230 V?▾
Yes. It has a universal dual primary for 50/60 Hz. Connect the two primary windings in parallel for 115 VAC or in series for 230 VAC.
Where is the center tap?▾
When the secondaries are connected in series by joining pin 9 to pin 10, that connection acts as the C.T. (center tap).
What are the dimensions of the 183F20?▾
The part drawing lists L 1.625" ±0.063, W 1.313" ±0.063, H 1.360" ±0.063, pin G 0.025" SQ. ±0.005 and a #4 mounting screw, with a weight of 0.37 lbs. approx. The series table lists the 5 VA size nominally as 1.63 x 1.44 x 1.38 in.
What electrical tests are specified?▾
The drawing specifies excitation current of 41mA max. at 115 V, 60 Hz (pin 1 - pin 3), no-load voltages of 12.47V (pins 7-9) and 12.25V (pins 10-12) at ±2%, DC resistances at 20 °C within ±20%, and a primary-to-secondary hipot of 4000 V, 60 Hz for 1 second.
Are mounting screws included?▾
No. The 5 VA size uses two-hole mounting and the manufacturer states mounting screws are not provided; the specified screw is #4.
