Transformer 220V to 12-0-12V 1A

Description

Transformer 220Vac to 12-0-12 Vac (1A) is a high-quality electronic component designed for Arduino, prototyping, and educational electronics. Transformer Terminal Description No: Terminal Name Description 1 I1 and I2 These are the input wires for the transformer, which is connected to the phase and neutral of AC mains 2 T1 and T3 There are the output terminals of the Transformer, the voltage across it will be 24V AC 3 T2 This is the center-tapped wire of the transformer; this wire can be combined with either T1 or T3 to get 12V AC across it. It’s very useful for rectifier circuits 12-0-12 Centre Tapped Transformer Specifications Step-down Centre tapped Transformer Input Voltage: 220V AC at 50Hz Output Voltage: 24V, 12V or 0V Output Current (Max.): 1A Vertical mount type Low cost and small package Dimensions are: Width 60mm without mounting tabs. 86mm with the tabs. Height 49mm Depth 49mm Note This is an AC transformer and the output is AC also. If you need DC you need a power supply, not a transformer. Where to Use Centre-Tapped Transformer A centre-tapped transformer also known as a two-phase three-wire transformer is normally used for rectifier circuits. When a digital project has to work with AC mains a Transformer is used to step down the voltage (in our case, to 24V or 12V) and then convert it to DC by using a rectifier circuit. In a center-tapped transformer, the peak inverse voltage is twice as in a bridge rectifier hence this transformer is commonly used in full wave
