Hammond 229B120 12VA 120V C.T./60V Low Profile PCB Transformer

The 229B120 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 120V center-tapped at 100 mA when the windings are connected in series, or 60V at 200 mA when connected in parallel, giving one of the highest secondary voltages in the 229 Series, which spans 10V to 230V center-tapped. 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 0.61 lbs (0.28 kg).

The transformer is C UL US recognized under UL file E207860 and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant. Order 229B120 when your design calls for 12 VA with a 120V C.T. / 60V secondary on a low profile board-mount footprint.
