F36-030 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The F36-030 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Triad Magnetics, rated at 1.1VA with dual secondary windings. This through-hole mounted component operates at 115V primary voltage with configurable secondary outputs of 18V parallel or 36V series. The transformer is actively produced and maintains ROHS3 compliance with 2500Vrms isolation rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the same product category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

F36-030 (Triad Magnetics - Split Pack™ Series)

Select the F36-030 when the original design specification requires the Split Pack™ series designation or when the maximum seated height of 23.80mm is a critical constraint. This part maintains active production status with 931 units in current inventory.

164D36 (Hammond Manufacturing - 164 Series)

The 164D36 provides electrical and compliance equivalence to the F36-030 with 1100 units available in bulk packaging. The primary dimensional difference is the maximum seated height of 33.32mm, which exceeds the F36-030 by 9.52mm. This height differential must be evaluated against available PCB clearance and enclosure space in the target application. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, isolation ratings, and regulatory compliance.

Selection Criteria:

Height-constrained applications: F36-030 required
Standard applications with adequate clearance: Either part acceptable based on availability and packaging requirements
Bulk procurement: 164D36 offers higher inventory availability
Series continuity: F36-030 maintains Split Pack™ series consistency

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 164D36 be used as a direct replacement for the F36-030 in all applications?

A: The 164D36 provides electrical equivalence across all specified parameters including voltage, current, power rating, and isolation. However, the seated height difference of 9.52mm must be evaluated for mechanical fit. Applications with height constraints below 33.32mm require the F36-030.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution requires identical primary voltage (115V), secondary voltage configuration (18V parallel / 36V series), output current ratings (60mA parallel / 30mA series), power rating (1.1VA), isolation voltage (2500Vrms), and winding configuration (single primary, dual secondary, no center tap).

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the F36-030 and 164D36 maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between Box and Bulk?

A: The F36-030 is supplied in Box packaging with 931 units in stock. The 164D36 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 1100 units available. Packaging selection depends on procurement quantity requirements and storage considerations.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: The F36-030 lists Moisture Sensitivity Level as Not Applicable. The 164D36 specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both designations indicate compatibility with standard handling and storage procedures for transformer components.

Q: What mounting and termination specifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts use Through Hole mounting type with PC Pin termination style, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and footprints.
