The 183G20 is a 10 VA low voltage power transformer designed to mount on a printed circuit board. Two 115 V primary windings allow 115 VAC or 230 VAC operation at 50/60 Hz, and two 10 V, 500 mA secondaries combine to 20 V C.T. at 0.5 A in series or 10 V at 1 A in parallel. The manufacturer's drawing gives toleranced dimensions and electrical acceptance limits for qualification.
Construction uses a low profile, split bobbin with a top shroud. The dual secondary windings are non-concentrically wound, giving low primary-to-secondary coupling so no electrostatic shield is required, and the transformer is hipot rated at 4,000 V RMS with Class F (155 °C) insulation.
The 183G20 drawing specifies L 1.875" ±0.063, W 1.563" ±0.063 and H 1.375" ±0.063, with 0.036" SQ. ±0.005 square pins and a #4 mounting screw (two-hole mounting; screws not provided); the series table lists the 10 VA size nominally as 1.88 x 1.56 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 56.4mA 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; 183G20 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 183G20 provide?▾
It is rated 10 VA: 20V C.T. @ 0.5A with the secondaries connected in series, or 10V @ 1A 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 183G20?▾
The part drawing lists L 1.875" ±0.063, W 1.563" ±0.063, H 1.375" ±0.063, pin G 0.036" SQ. ±0.005 and a #4 mounting screw, with a weight of 0.53 lbs. approx. The series table lists the 10 VA size nominally as 1.88 x 1.56 x 1.38 in.
What electrical tests are specified?▾
The drawing specifies excitation current of 56.4mA max. at 115 V, 60 Hz (pin 1 - pin 3), no-load voltages of 12.48V (pins 7-9) and 12.29V (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 10 VA size uses two-hole mounting and the manufacturer states mounting screws are not provided; the specified screw is #4.
