12-0-12 12V 2A Center Tapped Step Down Transformer

Description

This transformer is a type of power transformer specifically designed to step down AC voltage. It has a center tap on the secondary winding, providing two 12V outputs with respect to the center tap.   

Key Features

• Center-Tapped Secondary: This is the primary feature, allowing for both positive and negative 12V outputs with respect to the center tap.
• Step-Down Transformation: Reduces the input AC voltage to a lower output voltage.   
• 12V 2A Output: Provides a maximum output current of 2 Amperes on each 12V secondary winding.   
• Isolation: Provides electrical isolation between the primary and secondary windings.
• Compact Size: Typically compact and lightweight, making it suitable for various applications.
• Efficiency: Converts electrical energy efficiently with minimal power loss.

Specifications (Typical Values)

• Primary Voltage: 220V AC (or other input voltages depending on the model)
• Secondary Voltage: 12-0-12V AC
• Secondary Current: 2A (per winding)   
• Frequency: 50/60Hz   
• Isolation: High voltage isolation between primary and secondary windings
• Efficiency: Typically above 80%
• Mounting: May vary depending on the model (e.g., PCB mounting, chassis mounting)

Applications

• Audio Amplifiers: Used in push-pull amplifiers to provide the necessary DC voltages for the output stage.
• Power Supplies: Used in various electronic circuits to generate ±12V DC power supplies.
• Laboratory Equipment: Utilized in test setups and experiments requiring dual-polarity voltages.
• Industrial Control Systems: Employed in various industrial applications where dual-polarity power is required.
