Trying to match small AC transformer - 240V primary 12.8V secondary

Hi all,

Having found an open primary in the small transformer providing standby
power to a Yamaha home theatre receiver, I want to source a replacement
of course.

The transformer is marked on the side:

XW608 AO
TAM M 0118

and has no voltage or power specs on it. On the schematic there is a
voltage shown across the secondary of 12.8V AC; the primary is 240VAC
since this is an Australian unit.

The transformer is physically small (about 30x30x30 mm, or roughly an
inch and a bit on each side) so I am guessing it has a rating in the
milliamp range for the standby switch, IR receiver and a relay to switch
on the main PSU.

Can anyone offer me guidance on sourcing a replacement? Searching for
the markings via Google hasn't turned up anything useful.

Thanks for any help,

Matthew.

As a follow up, would this do if I can't get the same component?

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MM2006

The output on the original is 12.8V but this is 12.6 - I don't know what
the tolerances are but I'm guessing it would be regulated in some way.

That's strange. Transformer primaries don't open very often. I would be
inclined to dig deeper to find out why there's an open circuit (internal
fuse open? Bad connection? Melted wire?) and whether there is any fault
downstream of the transformer (shorted component?).

** Looks ideal.

As would the similar DSE M2851

BTW both unit are made to " class 2 " or double insulation requirements.

Important if that Yamaha receiver is " class 2 " - as I bet it is.

Don't know the reason, but I have removed it from the board and there is
infinite resistance across the primary terminals and no visible damage

would be about 5-6 years old I reckon.

Thanks Phil - there's no ground on the plug so I would guess double
insulated is the way to go.

The DSE part is cheaper and available locally - thanks!

Any small transformer with an approximately 12V output should be fine.

Small transformers are impedance protected, the windings can be damaged
by power surges or an overloaded secondary. If the unit works after
replacing the transformer, it was probably just a surge that popped it.

Thermal protectors are fitted to prevent overheating etc. Usaully you
can by pass same, and "fix" them, but as theyre fitted for a reason( not
used to our extreme heat?) they often fail. The tranny suggested is
probly close enough.

The markings will be house numbering, either from Yamaha or their chinese part
supplier. The 0118 will be a date code - week (probably) 18 of 2001, and
googling that will not uncover anything helpful.

As others have said, any comparable unit with a 12v6 secondary will be fine.
Any downstream elctronics which are voltage sensitive will have some supply
regulation, to guard against mains input variation.

Apart from the Jaycar unit mentioned, Altronics have one which has dimensional
info at http://www.altronics.com.au/index.asp?area=item&id=M2851L.. 'tis a tad
weightier, implying to me that it has more iron or copper - both good things.

Even Trickie Dickie has one
http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/45e9221405120d9e2742c0a87f9c06b9/Product/View/M2851

Which one is for you depends on how critical size is, and how near you are to
the supplier.

In my professional repair life, I replace trannies in hifi units all the
time, that have primaries that have gone open for no apparent reason. Yes,
sometimes there is a thermal fuse in the primary, and yes, sometimes it's
connected across a couple of external pins so can be temporarily bridged for
test purposes, but I find it rare to then come across a fault downstream,
that has caused a genuine overheat that has led to the failure.

That tranny will work just fine. The only thing that I would say is that
power transformers in domestic equipment are usually what's known as a
"designated safety component". This means that they formed part of the
original design approval which declared the unit physically safe - it won't
set fire to your house in the event of it failing - and electrically safe -
it won't make the equipment live in the event of a breakdown of the
insulation on the winding wire or terminations. You can identify components
which form part of a safety spec, and are thus "designated", because they
have an exclamation mark inside a triangle, marked by them on the schematic.

If you do substitute a non-Yamaha transformer for the original, this would
almost certainly compromise the original safety approvals for the equipment,
and if there were any unforseen unfortunate consequences down the line,
Yamaha would have no liability at all.

Almost certainly, replacing this tranny with a substitute, will cause no
problems at all, but I think that you should be aware of exactly what you
are doing for your own peace of mind. For what its worth, as a professional
repairer with a legal duty of care to the public, I would never substitute a
transformer that is going to run 24 hours a day, as a standby tranny is, nor
would I recommend others to do so. At the very least, I would try to check,
through the suppliers or even directly with the manufacturers, that any
tranny you intend to use is rated for continuous operation. I would also
contact a Yamaha spares agent to check the price and availability of a
genuine replacement, after you have proven that all is well by checking with
your substitute in place. Not trying to put you off or anything, just advice
...

meantime, take your sorry in-bred criminal descended arse back to

You had a pop at me once before on a different group, and eventually came
off worst. Perhaps I am the scum of the planet, and if that's what you
believe, then by all means, carry on calling me it - I really don't care,
but with each increasingly pathetic post, which follows in your normal
pattern of first unleashing an unwarranted tirade of filth, you make
yourself look less and less credible.

Having read your posts in your more lucid moments, I don't doubt that you
have technical expertise, but any respect that you might build up for
yourself in the on-line electronics service community in between 'episodes',
is immediately blown again when those deformed neurons in your addled brain,
start firing randomly again.

I don't care if you disagree with something I post, and it's fine to say
so - it's what debate amongst SANE people is about, but when you start in
this way, you are just out of line. *I* certainly don't want to see it on
here, and I'm sure that most other regulars don't. Using the ultra foul
language that you do, in the extremely angry way that you do, might be the
norm in the community that you live in, but don't inflict it on internet
newsgroups, where there are likely to be much more sensitive souls than me,
and worse, children reading it.

Now go and take your meds, and if you don't have meds to control this
behaviour, I would STRONGLY recommend that you go and get some professional
help before you do something a lot more serious than abusing the pivileges
that you ISP provides you with ...

You didn't raise any issues WORTH responding to. You see that's just what I
mean. You don't even understand your own limited vocabulary. All you have
actually done is loose off a tirade of filthy-mouthed abuse, as you always
do, and as anyone who has frequented this group, or one of the others since
the last time you forgot to take your meds, actually knows, and tried to
play that stupid game of "my cock's bigger than yours pal". The 'points'
that you raise, are, as always, stupidly naiive, and just an excuse to "have
a go". Most of the people that you have picked on over the years get all
indignant with you, and start ranting back about their abilities trying to
justify themselves. I have neither the need nor desire to do that. I don't
care what you think of me, because it can't possibly have any foundation in
fact. You don't know me. You don't know anything about me. You are just
throwing utterly senseless accusations around the 'net to try to make
yourself look big and clever, which you are not.

I was quite happy to carry on making you look stupid for as long as it took,
and as long as it provided some light entertainment to others, but there has
now been another complaint, so I will take that as my cue to stop. Your
repeated reposting of the same old stuff has now ceased to amuse me anyway.

The day I love that half-arsed plank is the day that hell freezes over, but
no worries, point taken. I was only carrying on with it just for the
amusement of winding him up, but his repeated posting of the same few lines
has become tiresome now anyway. As an Aussie yourself, doesn't his behaviour
as an ambassador of your country on here embarrass you ? Just interested ...

very small 50/60Hz transformers can be a right pain, as the wire gauge
is so damn fine. Its extremely hard NOT to slightly damage, say, 44AWG
magnet wire when winding such a transformer.

Low power transformers must have extremely high magnetising inductance
AND low volume, so require silly numbers of turns of astonishingly
(vanishingly more like) fine wire.

One I used in an OEM UPS' had, IIRC, 11,000 primary turns, of (again,
IIRC) 44AWG. Now 41AWG is about 0.09mm outer diameter; 11k turns is thus
around 70mm^2, ie 8.4 x 8.4mm, which is about the cross-sectional area
ISTR for the primary winding.

And we had quite a bit of trouble with those - although they were made
in Mexico, for a very low price - all of which was related to the
termination.

Give it up guys. You are both likely to get blocked by lots of folks on the

Is there just the one for all Yamaha products? In the UK I found the one
which dealt with their pro audio fine but not the one for computer stuff.
It was some time ago when CDW was newish and expensive. But I've got a
long memory. ;-)
