Looking for transformer

[assegayer]

Is anybody able to help me on where i might be able to find this transformer i have uploaded the picture hopefully u can make out the specifications.

If not exactly to this specification would any 8.6v transformer as long as more then 100ma work?

 

[Marvo]

Yep, any wire wound transformer of similar spec will work. Does it need to be 8.6 volt? Finding a 9 volt version would probably be easier. Try maplins or RS Components maybe.

 

[The Ghost]

Try maplins

They have gone into liquidation.

 

[telectrix]

what he said, but maplins are bust. need to hurry before all the stock has been sold off.

 

[Marvo]

Oh noooo, I liked Maplins. They've been going for donkeys years, very sad to hear they've gone bust.

 

[telectrix]

part of the problem with maplins was some of the bits you wanted.... a 10p component packed in a sealed plastic envelope selling for £2.95.

It is an isolating transformer as specified in EN 61558-2-6 for the safe electrical isolation of the input and output sides. EN61558-2-6 means the transformer may be used to set up protective separation as a protective measure in accordance with VDE 0100 and is suitable for creating SELV and PELV circuits because of the limit on the output voltage.

So for your application the substitute needs to be EN61558-2-6.

I think MS might be:

Perhaps email their info desk.

Thank you all for your replies. Is there any specific name for this particular transformer like what can i type on google to get similar ones to this?

Is it called a sealed tranny?

This is the closest I can find on the RS website.
VB 1,0/1/9 | 9V ac 1 Output Through Hole PCB Transformer, 1VA | Block - https://za.rs-online.com/web/p/pcb-transformers/7320317/

It's PCB mount so you'd need to solder your own leads on to it

I'm sure Maplins would have had one......shame.

Thanks alot mate i think thats as a close as im going to get. The slight difference in voltage shouldnt be a problem right?

 

[Marvo]

I'm not sure whether the voltage difference will be an issue TBH. What is the transformer out of?

 

[assegayer]

Its out of a shaver

 

[Taylortwocities]

Its out of a shaver

You will definately need an isolating transformer then.

 

[telectrix]

or one of these. going cheap in toys r us clearance:

What is an isolating transformer ?

 

[telectrix]

What is an isolating transformer ?

it's one where the secondary (output ) side is isolated from the primary, and hence from the mains.

 

[assegayer]

Okay thanks, so if i get an isolating transformer however i get a 9v instead of 8.6v would it really make a difference

 

[Marvo]

For a shaver it won't make a difference whether it 9v or 8.6v. The transformer I linked to on the RS website is an isolating transformer. Just check that it's not cheaper to buy an entire new shaver socket first though.

Believe me personally i would just buy a new one but unfortunately a friend of mine seems to hold it in high esteem

 

[Marvo]

Still check it isn't cheaper to buy a complete new socket and surgically remove the transformer and use it to fix the one you have that has sentimental value.
