General Specifications

	Winding Turns
	Your choices are...
	Step-Up Transformer		In step-up transformers, the secondary voltage is larger than the primary voltage.
	Step-Down Transformer		In step-down transformers, the secondary voltage is smaller than the primary voltage.
	Variable		The transformer has a setting to change the turn ratio as needed.

	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.
	Other Transformer Types / Applications
	Your choices are...
	Three Phase / Polyphase Transformer		In polyphase (3-phase) transformers, the three primary windings are connected together and the three secondary windings are connected as well.
	Single Phase Transformer		These are transformers that operate with single phase voltage.
	Power Transformer		Power transformers convert one voltage to another at high power levels. Power  transformers  are  used  in  electronic circuits  and come  in  many  different  types  and applications. Power transformers are sometimes considered to be those with ratings of 300 volt-amperes and below.  These transformers normally provide power to the power supply of an electronic device, such as in power amplifiers in audio receivers.
	Distribution Transformer		Distribution transformers are pole-type transformers that supply relatively small amounts of power to residences. They are used at the end of an electrical utility’s delivery system. Distribution transformers are used in electrical power distribution and transmission systems. These types of transformers have high power, or volt-ampere, ratings.  The power rating is normally determined by the type of cooling methods the transformer may use. Some commonly-used methods of cooling include using oil or some other heat-conducting material. Ampere rating is increased in a distribution transformer by increasing the size of the primary and secondary windings; voltage ratings are increased by increasing the voltage rating of the insulation used in making the transformer.

	Core Type
	Your choices are...
	Laminated Core		Laminated transformers, or E-I transformers, contain laminated steel cores insulated with a nonconducting material such as varnish. They are formed into a core to reduce electrical losses.
	Other		Other unlisted or proprietary core types.
	Toroidal Core		Toroidal transformers typically consist of copper wire wrapped around a cylindrical core. This design prevents the magnetic flux that occurs within the coil from leaking.

	Mounting / Form Factor
	Your choices are...
	Chassis Mount		A chassis-mounted transformer has tabs to facilitate screwing it down.
	Chip Transformer		Chip transformers have a form factor of an integrated circuit (IC) chip. They are typically manufactured using thin-film technology.
	Dish / Disk Mount		A simple rubber washer and metal disk or dish secures the transformer to the chassis or board. There is usually a through-hole in the middle of the disk that allows for a screw to hold the transformer down.
	H-Frame		H-frame mounting is used in applications where high vibration or shock is present. It is an "H" shaped frame that the transformer sits on. The frame is secured to the chassis or board.
	Modular Jack		Magnetics incorporated into the RJ-45 form factor ensure high common mode noise immunity, while maintaining signal integrity.
	Pad-Mounted		Pad-mounted transformers are mounted on the ground, sitting on a concrete (or other material) pad. They are normally step-down transformers used in power distribution systems to step down the voltage from the high voltage terminals of an underground distribution system to the low voltage of the end user’s needs.
	PC / PCB Mount		Any of a variety of signal transformers mounted on PCBs. They can either be surface-mounted or through-hole configurations, using the soldering method to hold the transformers. PC-mount transformers offer a small footprint for the design engineer looking to measure sensor current or voltage on a computer board. Some applications for PC or PCB transformers include sensing current overload, ground fault detection, metering, isolated current feed-back signal in switch mode power supplies, motor current load / overload, lighting, switch controls, ultra-sound current, high resolution sonar current, and isolated bi-directional current sensor with full wave bridge.
	Pole-Mounted		Pole-mounted transformers are installed on top of poles and are normally used as distribution step-down transformers servicing houses located close by.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary transformer mounting techniques.

Performance Specifications

	Operating Frequency Range		The frequency range for which the transformer will meet all guaranteed specifications.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Maximum Primary Voltage Rating		The maximum primary voltage rating is the input voltage range of the transformer. Transformers for use with several nominal voltages need more than one primary winding. Enter the maximum voltage required for the application. Matching products will list all primary voltages available in addition to the maximum specified.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Maximum Secondary Voltage Rating		The maximum secondary voltage rating is the output voltage range of the transformer. A transformer may provide more than one secondary voltage. Enter the maximum voltage required for the application. The matching products will list all secondary voltages available in addition to the maximum specified.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Power Rating (VA)		The rated power of the transformer is the sum of the VA (volts x amps) for all of the secondary windings.
