Myrra transformers now available from Rapid Electronics

The 44000 series of encapsulated PCB mounting transformers carry a primary voltage of 230V and secondary voltages of between 6V and 2 x 24V. Rated between 1.5 VA and 30 VA, they are vacuum filling, two-compartment bobbin structure components with an inherent proofing against short circuit, and made of self-extinguishing plastics to UL 94 VO. The 4400 series meets all the requirements of EN 61558-2-6, EN 60950 and UL 1585, as well as carrying a full range of European approvals including UL, VDE, SEMKO, DEMKO, FIMKO and KEMA.

Also recently introduced is the 74000 series of Myrra flyback transformers – the first flyback options to be available in Rapid’s extensive range of power transformers. Offering a high voltage step down capacity, these components are commonly found in switched mode applications where the primary winding is fed by a pulse-width modulated source. With insulation tolerances of 4000V (primary to secondary) and 1500V (primary to auxiliary), the construction of the 74000 series conforms to IEC950, IEC335 and IEC61558 approvals for reinforced insulation and exclusively uses UL94-V0 listed materials.

Paul Hemming, product manager for transformers at Rapid, commented: ‘I am delighted to add Myrra to the other top transformer brands available from Rapid, such as Vigortronix and Manutech. These lines add to the choice for customers requiring transformers with specific power and voltage specifications’.
