Automotive transformers offer compact solution

Bourns has introduced its second-generation high clearance/creepage distance isolation power transformer model HCT8xxxxEAL Series. These AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive-grade push-pull high voltage isolation transformers offer a high reliability, compact solution that delivers reinforced insulation for working voltages up to 800V and basic insulation for working voltages up to 1,000V.

By providing a separate reinforced insulating layer that protects against dangerous voltages, the Series helps manufacturers better meet their safety and reliability goals compared to competitive isolation transformers that are only capable of functional insulation. Advanced

features make these transformers ideal for isolation applications in automotive battery management systems, RS-485, CAN interface, digital input module and RS-323 isolation designs.

The products feature 3.3 or 5V input to various output voltages per turn (up to 350mA in various turns ratio configurations). Manufactured in a fully automated line that maximizes device quality and reliability, the Series is designed with Bourns’ unique over-molding technology that uses cost-effective FIW wire to deliver superior efficiency.
