- 10 VA rating: 16V C.T. @ 0.62A with secondaries in series, 8V @ 1.25A in parallel
- Universal dual primary: 115 VAC (parallel) or 230 VAC (series), 50/60 Hz
- Dual non-concentrically wound secondaries usable in series, parallel or separately
- Hipot 4,000 V RMS; Class F (155 °C) insulation; no electrostatic shield required
- Low profile body 1.88 x 1.56 x 1.38 in (47.8 x 39.6 x 35.1 mm), 0.036 in square pins
- P.C. board mount, industry standard pin spacing, two-hole #4 screw mounting (screws not provided)
- Series listed cUL; part drawing cites cURus, CE and TUV; RoHS and REACH compliant
The 183G16 is a 10 VA low voltage P.C. board mounted power transformer rated 16 V C.T. at 0.62 A with its secondaries in series, or 8 V at 1.25 A in parallel. The universal dual primary is wired in parallel for 115 VAC or in series for 230 VAC at 50/60 Hz, so a single part serves both mains standards.
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.
Per the 183G16 drawing, the body measures 1.88 in (47.8 mm) long, 1.56 in (39.6 mm) wide and 1.38 in (35.1 mm) high, with 0.036 in (0.9 mm) pins, #4 mounting screws (not provided) in a two-hole pattern, and a weight of 0.53 lbs (0.24 kg).
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. Pin numbers are not marked on the unit; a paint dot always identifies the secondary side (pins 12-7).
The 183 Series is cUL listed, and the drawing for this part cites agency listings of cURus, CE and TUV; 183G16 is RoHS and REACH compliant.
Ideal For
- 16 V C.T. or 8 V AC supply on a printed circuit board
- Equipment intended for worldwide 115 V or 230 V use
- Designs using the secondaries in series, parallel or separately

Frequently Asked Questions
What output does the 183G16 provide?▾
It is rated 10 VA: 16V C.T. @ 0.62A with the secondaries connected in series, or 8V @ 1.25A 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 183G16?▾
The drawing gives L 1.88 in (47.8 mm), W 1.56 in (39.6 mm) and H 1.38 in (35.1 mm), with 0.036 in (0.9 mm) pins, a #4 screw type and a weight of 0.53 lbs (0.24 kg).
How do I identify the pins?▾
Pin numbers are not printed on the unit. Look for the paint dot, which is always on the secondary side (pins 12-7).
Are mounting screws included?▾
No. The 10 VA size uses two-hole mounting and the manufacturer states mounting screws are not provided; the specified screw is #4.
