FS24-800-C2 datasheet by Triad Magnetics

FS24-800-C2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Triad Magnetics recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with the transformer centered on the board, and keeping the primary and secondary windings as close together as possible to minimize leakage inductance.
• How do I ensure proper thermal management for this transformer?
  Triad Magnetics recommends providing adequate airflow around the transformer, using a heat sink if necessary, and ensuring that the ambient temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F).
• What is the maximum voltage rating for the primary and secondary windings?
  The maximum voltage rating for the primary winding is 800VRMS, and for the secondary winding is 24VRMS. Exceeding these ratings may result in transformer failure.
• Can I use this transformer in a switching power supply application?
  Yes, the FS24-800-C2 is suitable for switching power supply applications, but Triad Magnetics recommends ensuring that the switching frequency does not exceed 100 kHz to avoid core saturation.
• What is the recommended creepage distance for this transformer?
  Triad Magnetics recommends a minimum creepage distance of 4.5 mm (0.177 in) between the primary and secondary windings to ensure electrical isolation.
