Create Free Business AccountThe 166MS is a low voltage/filament power transformer from the 166 Series, rated 15 VA with a 115V 60 Hz. primary and a 5 V center-tapped (C.T.) secondary rated 3 A RMS. It is built for OEM engineers, panel builders and repair technicians who need an open style, channel bracket, two hole chassis mount transformer to derive a low AC voltage inside equipment. The 166MS is a 5 V center-tapped, 3 A transformer rated 15 VA, and at 1 lb (0.45 kg) it is one of the lighter parts in this group.
Construction follows the 166 Series design: a dual bobbin winding arrangement, so no electrostatic shield is required, and Class B insulation (130 °C) for extra protection, with the design UL listed as Class A (105 °C). Each unit is Hi-Pot tested at 2,000V RMS. Leads are a minimum of 6 in long. The drawing schematic shows black primary leads, green secondary leads and a green/yellow center tap.
Overall dimensions from the series ordering table are A 3.25 in (83 mm), B 1.75 in (44 mm) and C 2.00 in (51 mm), with a D dimension of 2.81 in (71 mm) and 0.19 in (5 mm) mounting holes (mounting reference C). The shipping weight is 1 lbs (0.45 kg). The part drawing gives the mounting hole size as 0.187 in / 4.7 mm width-wise.
The 166 Series is UL listed and CSA certified, and the 166MS is marked RoHS compliant and REACH compliant. Identifiers include UPC 623980241869 and UNSPSC 39121301. If you need 117/234V or 50/60 Hz operation or dual secondaries, the manufacturer points to its 266 Series instead.
