Transformer 6-0-6 6 VA

The Transformer 6-0-6 6 VA is a small centre-tapped step-down transformer with a 6-0-6 V AC secondary and a 6 VA power rating. It gives 6 V AC on each half of the secondary, or 12 V AC across the full winding, and suits low-current supplies for microcontroller boards, logic circuits, relays and small electronics projects that run from mains.

Transformer 6-0-6 6 VA Specifications

• Secondary: 6-0-6 V AC, centre-tapped (6 V + 6 V)
• Full secondary: 12 V AC end to end
• Power rating: 6 VA
• Secondary current: about 0.5 A from the full 12 V winding (6 VA ÷ 12 V)
• Primary: AC mains; check the label for the rated input voltage
• Type: step-down transformer with a centre tap

Transformer 6-0-6 6 VA Applications

• Small 5 V regulated supplies with a full-wave centre-tap rectifier
• Low-voltage AC for clocks, timers and control circuits
• Power for relay boards and small logic circuits
• Electronics training in rectifiers and filters

What's in the Box

• 1 × 6-0-6 V 6 VA transformer

Tip: With the centre tap as ground and two diodes, 6 V AC gives about 7.5 V DC after filtering, which is just enough for a 7805 regulator at light loads. The primary connects to mains voltage, so insulate its connections, add a fuse and never work on it while it is plugged in.
