Hammond 229B12 12VA 12.6V C.T./6.3V Low Profile PCB Transformer

The 229B12 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 12.6V center-tapped at 900 mA when the windings are connected in series, or 6.3V at 1.8 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 0.62 lbs (0.28 kg).

The transformer is C UL US recognized under UL file E207860 and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant. Order 229B12 when your design calls for 12 VA with a 12.6V C.T. / 6.3V secondary on a low profile board-mount footprint.
