Pulse Announces New Series of 6A Surface-Mount Current-Sense Transformers

May 03, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Pulse (San Diego, CA) announced the first in a new series of 6A surface-mount current-sense transformers for the dc/dc market. The transformer's applications include feedback control, overload sensing, detecting load-drop and circuit shutdown. They are specifically designed to detect ac current changes and supply an output for control circuitry.

The series is rated for currents up to 6A and includes a full range of turns ratios from 1:20 to 1:125 with inductance values from 80µH to 3,000µH. The transformers are 0.19" high and are suitable for high-density, low-height dc/dc converter applications. The flat-top design with the fixed clip makes them compatible with pick-and-place applications. The transformers are rated for optimal performance at 100kHz and above.

The new dc/dc transformers are currently available in trays and tape-and-reel packaging.
