General Specifications




   Topology / Configuration       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Push-Pull
 
     Transformers are used in push-pull configuration circuits, such as power supplies.
 
   Flyback
 
     Flyback transformers use the flayback or kickback of an inductor to convert an input voltage to a desired output voltage. The input voltage or charging cycle produces energy which is stored in the inductor. The input energy or discharge cycle is then transferred to the output.
 
   Boost
 
     Boost or step-up transformers convert a lower DC input voltage to a higher DC output voltage of the same polarity.
 
   Forward (Buck)
 
     Buck or step-down converters are used to convert a higher DC input voltage to a lower DC output voltage of the same polarity. Forward converters are similar to buck-boost converters, but use a transformer to store energy and provide isolation between the input and output. The difference between flayback and forward transformers is in the way the energy transfer takes place. Flyback transformers have two distinct phases for energy storage and delivery. By contrast, forward transformers transfer energy from input to output in a single step.
 
   Bridge
 
     Transformers have a bridge (half or full) output configuration.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted topology or configuration types.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Mounting       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Chassis Mount
 
     Chassis mounted transformers have screw-down tabs for attachment.
 
   Dish / Disk Mount
 
     A rubber washer and metal disk or dish secures the transformer to the chassis or board. Usually, a through-hole in the middle of the disk allows a screw to hold the transformer down.
 
   H Frame
 
     H-frame mounting is used in applications where high vibration or shock is present. The transformer sits on an H-shaped frame, which is secured to the chassis or board.
 
   Modular Jack
 
     Magnetics are incorporated into the RJ-45 form factor. This insures high common-mode noise immunity while maintaining signal integrity.
 
   PCB / SMD Mount
 
     Transformers are mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and soldered in place. Devices can use surface mount technology (SMT) or through-hole technology (THT).
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary transformer mounting techniques.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Maximum Dimension
 
     The transformer's largest dimension. It can represent length, width or height.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Duty Cycle
 
     The duty cycle is the ratio between the on and off time of the output voltage of the transformer. It measures efficiency.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Operating Temperature
 
     Full required range of ambient operating temperature.
