High Frequency Transformers

📊 KATOY High-Frequency Transformers

A high-frequency transformer is a type of transformer designed to operate at frequencies higher than the standard 50/60 Hz, typically in the kHz to MHz range. These transformers are key components in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), inverters, and various modern electronic circuits.

Katoy can manufacturer high-frequency transformerss to any specification required for your application.


⚙️ Key Features of High-Frequency Transformers

  • Core Material: Usually made from ferrite to reduce eddy current losses at high frequencies.
  • Compact Size: Much smaller than low-frequency transformers of the same power rating.
  • Lightweight: Less core material is needed because of higher frequency operation.
  • Efficient: Better power transfer with reduced size and losses.
  • Fast Response: Suitable for high-speed switching and regulation.

🔩 Physical Characteristics

  • Encapsulation: Most are enclosed in rectangular plastic casings.
  • Windings: Visible yellow insulation tape wrapping around the coil areas.
  • Terminals: Multiple pin terminals on the bottom, designed for PCB mounting.
  • Lead Types:
    • Some have through-hole pins.
    • A few have wire leads (suggesting higher current applications or off-board mounting).
  • Core Types:
    • Likely EE, EI, or EC ferrite core shapes inside (common in SMPS designs).
    • A few might be EFD or PQ cores which are optimized for flat profiles.

📏 Variety

  • We manufacture a range of sizes, including different voltage and power ratings.
  • Larger units with more winding separation may handle higher power or multi-output configurations.
  • Smaller units are likely used for signal isolation or low-power supplies.

📋 Applications for High-Frequency Transformers

  • Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS)
  • DC-DC converters
  • LED drivers
  • Inverters for solar systems
  • Consumer electronics (TVs, monitors, computers)
