Voltage Rating: The transformer has a primary voltage rating of 12-0-12, indicating that it can accept an input voltage of 12 volts alternating current (AC). The 0 in the middle signifies a center tap, which allows for both positive and negative outputs.
Step-Down Transformation: This transformer performs step-down transformation, meaning it reduces the higher input voltage to a lower output voltage suitable for electronics projects. In this case, it transforms 12V AC to a lower voltage.
Current Rating: The transformer has a current handling capacity of 1Amp (1A), which indicates the maximum amount of current it can safely deliver to the load.
Center-Tapped Configuration: The center tap in the secondary winding provides two equal and opposite voltages concerning the center point. This allows for the creation of a dual power supply or the use of a single-ended output.
DIY Kit Compatibility: The transformer is suitable for integration into DIY kits and electronic projects where a reliable and regulated power supply is required. It is commonly used in projects such as audio amplifiers, power supplies, and other electronic devices.
