PCA offers a large line of Switching Transformers for use in many applications:

For General Use Applications (SMT) EPC3018G-XXG, EPC3076G-X

PCA offers its series of SMT transformers in EFD15, EFD20 and ER 11 packages. This series is for Multi-purpose or General Use. Selected Models can be used in SMPS Forward, Flyback, Push-Pull or Half and Full Bridge Tology. They could also be used as Output Inductors for Buck, Forward, or Bridge circuit. Proper Series or Parallel connections on the users board must be determined to get the proper turns ratio or inductance needed for the circuit.

For Low Power Push-Pull Transformer Applications (SMT)- EPC3115S-X and EPC3117S-X

PCA makes available its series of SO-8 pin PCAMCIA package of Low Power Push-Pull Transformer for DC-DC converters. EPC3115S-X series is the World’s Smallest push-pull transformer and first in the Industry to be released in a SO-8 pin PCMCIA package designed for Maxim Max253 chip . Another parts series is the EPC3117S-X series which is designed for Maxim Max 845/253. EPC3117S-X works up to a 1 Mhz switching frequency. Both series models have a very low core loss for higher efficiency converters.

For Low Power Push-Pull Transformer Applications (Thru Hole) EPC3126-X, EPC3126G-X

PCA debuts its series of Thru-Hole package Low Power Push-Pull Transformers for DC-DC converters. EPC3126-X series is the World’s Smallest Thru-Hole size for 4.5KVrms Hipot/Isolation designed for the Maxim Max253/845 chip. EPC3126-X works up to a 1 Mhz switching frequency and up to 1 watt of power.

For Flyback Transformer Applications (EPC3127-X, EPC3129-X, EPC3130-X, EPC3132-X)

PCA introduces three NEW series of SMPS Flyback transformers for AC-DC power supply Converters. All models meets or exceed IEC/TUV/VDE specifications for Creepage, Clearance, and Dielectric Strength. Guaranteed to meet 4.5Vrms isolation voltage with Reinforced Insulation -Triple Insulated Wire. The use of Triple Insulated Wire(TIW) will result in a 30%-50% reduction in transformer size as compared to using conventional wires on secondary sides. Designed to be used with Power Integration Chips (Tiny Switch-II, Top Switch-FX and Top Switch-GX Family).
