PCB-mounted power transformers with minimal footprint

BLOCK PCB transformers are vacuum moulded, providing a rugged, reliable and very high proof voltage device. When designed into a PCB mounted product for use as a power transformer they provide safe electrical isolation between power input and output sides, providing the function of an isolating or safety transformer.

BLOCK’s wide range of standard PCB Transformer solutions provide an ideal power supply for circuit design, from basic transformers to devices offering absolute or limited short-circuit protection. Key standard features include:

• Minimal footprint with high power output
• Double input and output voltage for series or parallel connections
• Power output 0.35 VA to 50 VA

450 transformer versions are available from 6 product ranges:

• VB Series - Short-circuit proof PCB transformer, versions with dual output voltage, input 230 Vac, output 6 – 24 Vac, 0.35 – 3.2 VA
• AVB Series - Short-circuit proof encapsulated PCB transformer, input 2 x 115 Vac, output 2 x 6 – 2 x 24 Vac, 0.35 – 3.2 VA
• VC Series - versions with dual output voltage, input 230 Vac, output 6 – 24 Vac, 3.2 – 16 VA.
• VCM Series – versions with dual output voltage, input 230 Vac, output 6 – 24 Vac, 5 – 50 VA
• FL Series Low Profile - encapsulated, input 2 x 115 Vac, output 2 x 5 – 2 x 24 Vac, 2 – 52 VA
• PT series – short circuit proof, encapsulated, input 230 Vac, output 6 – 2 x 24 Vac, 4.5 – 30 VA

Sarah Eddowes, Director of Agile Electronics, says “The addition of BLOCK PCB power transformers to our portfolio not only adds value to our kitting service but also provides UK customers with a local, reliable sales channel for their own requirements.”

Agile Electronics services a wide variety of industries, such as industrial, transport and communications, and can provide complete sub-assembly solutions enabling customers to stay focused on their core business aims. Agile works with their customers to provide a distribution service addressing problems or single-itemed vendors.
