Hammond 229E24 2VA 24V C.T. Low Profile PCB Mount Transformer

The 229E24 is a 2 VA dual-primary power transformer from the 229 Series, designed for low profile mounting directly on a printed circuit board. It suits OEM engineers and electronics designers who need an on-board low voltage supply: wired in series, the secondaries deliver 24V C.T. @ 100ma (center tapped); wired in parallel, they deliver 12V @ 200ma. At 2 VA it is the smallest power size in the 229 range, which spans 2 VA to 48 VA.

The transformer uses a dual - split bobbin with a semi-toroidal design. That construction gives low primary to secondary coupling and balanced windings, so no electrostatic shield is required, and it keeps EMF radiation low. The universal dual primary is rated 115/230V at 50/60 Hz, so the same part can be wired for either line voltage. Insulation is Class B (130 degrees C) with a hipot rating of 1,750V RMS.

Per the 229E24 drawing, the body measures A 1.56" (40 mm), B 1.88" (48 mm) and C 0.65" (17 mm), with D 0.38" (10 mm), D1 0.38" (10 mm) and E 1.60" (41 mm). PC board spacing is 0.75" (19 mm) and the pin size is 0.02" x 0.04" (1 mm x 1 mm). Rated regulation is 30%, and the shipping weight is 0.24 lbs (0.11 kg).

The 2 VA rating, 100ma at 24V center tapped or 200ma at 12V in parallel, fits low-current circuits on a compact circuit board. The part is C UL US recognized under UL file E207860 and is listed as RoHS and REACH compliant. Identifiers: UPC 623980271774, UNSPSC 39121301.
