The 229B10 is a 12 VA low profile power transformer from the 229 Series, built for direct mounting on a printed circuit board. Its universal dual primary accepts 115V or 230V at 50/60 Hz, and its secondary delivers 10V center-tapped at 1.2 A when the windings are connected in series, or 5V at 2.4 A when connected in parallel, giving one of the lowest secondary voltages offered in the 229 Series. It suits OEM engineers and electronics designers specifying on-board power for equipment sold into both 115V and 230V markets.
Construction uses a dual split bobbin with balanced windings and a semi-toroidal design. The result is low primary to secondary coupling and low EMF radiation, and no electrostatic shield is required. Insulation is Class B, rated 130 degrees C, and the unit is hipot rated at 1,750V RMS.
Per the specification data, the 12 VA frame measures A 2.00” (51 mm), B 2.50” (64 mm) and C 1.07” (27 mm), with D 0.50” (13 mm), D1 0.50” (13 mm) and E 2.00” (51 mm). PC board (card) spacing is 1.25” (32 mm), pins are 0.02” x 0.04” (1 mm x 1 mm), and regulation is 20%. Shipping weight is 0.63 lbs (0.29 kg).
The transformer is C UL US recognized under UL file E207860 and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant. Order 229B10 when your design calls for 12 VA with a 10V C.T. / 5V secondary on a low profile board-mount footprint.
Ideal For
- On-board power for circuits needing 10V center-tapped or 5V secondaries
- Equipment designed for universal 115V or 230V, 50/60 Hz input
- Low profile PCB designs with tight card spacing
- Designs sensitive to EMF where no electrostatic shield is wanted

Frequently Asked Questions
What output voltages does the 229B10 provide?▾
With the secondary windings in series it delivers 10V center-tapped (C.T.) at 1.2 A; with them in parallel it delivers 5V at 2.4 A (RMS values).
Can it run on both 115V and 230V mains?▾
Yes. It has a universal dual primary rated 115/230V at 50/60 Hz.
What PC board spacing and pin size does the 229B10 need?▾
The 12 VA size calls for 1.25” (32 mm) PC board (card) spacing, and the pins are 0.02” x 0.04” (1 mm x 1 mm).
Does it need an electrostatic shield?▾
No. The balanced windings, low primary to secondary coupling and semi-toroidal design mean no electrostatic shield is required, and EMF radiation is low.
