Wurth Electronics Midcom has introduced the T8 transformer series, designed for T8 sized tube LED applications. These transformers are built using two packages developed by the company which are designed for the T8 bulb form factor.
The patent-pending designs feature half-rounded cores to maximise core cross-sectional area. Up to 30W power is available on the through-hole design and 20W on the surface-mount packages.
Both package styles provide low leakage inductance. The shielded construction and rounded cores provide good EMI performance, with an operating temperature ranging from -40 to 125°C.
Applications include the T8 tube lighting, in flyback topology, with functional, basic, supplementary or reinforced isolation.
