Signal Transformer’s SLT Stepdown Series Now Certified to UL 506/UL5085-2

Parts are Uniquely Qualified for Use in a Wide Range of Electronic Devices, Consumer Appliances and Commercial Applications

Inwood, NY, April 21, 2016 — Signal Transformer, a division of Bel Fuse Inc., (NASDAQ: BELFA and BELFB) today announced that its Step Down Series  “SLT Series” of  Power Transformers has been certified to  UL Safety Standards UL506/UL5085-2.  This four part series offers OEMs the ability to streamline access to global markets while cutting the cost and shortening the process of obtaining new product safety agency approvals.

Additionally, the SLT series of transformers can be customized within a variety of configurations while maintaining all their UL Safety Agency approvals, usually at minimal additional cost.

Incorporating double reinforced insulation, the SLT  Series is ideally suited for a diversity of Lighting  applications such as mains , emergency lighting, and others . The series’ construction utilizes low-loss silicon steel for higher efficiency and UL 94V0 flame rated polymers. In addition, their UL Class F rated insulation system permits operation in high ambient temperatures up to 80°C.  Moreover, their non-concentric construction provides superior isolation, <30 µA leakage current, and more than 12 mm of creepage distance between the primary and secondary windings.  All SLT transformers are rated and tested to 4 KV hipot.

Engineered to facilitate secure and rapid connectivity as well as to prevent accidental shock, the M4Ls incorporate Touch-Safe terminals (IP00) that provide a screw/binding clamp for hard wiring, together with 3/16″ and 1/4″ Fast-On connections.  Their compact size and vertical-mount configuration accommodates space-restricted enclosures, optimizes installation flexibility and allows easy access for terminating.

Parts are offered with power ratings of 300 VA, 450 VA, 600 VA or 1000 VA and input voltage’s range from 100 V to 480 V to further promote design flexibility.  The SLT  transformers are supplied in four sizes, ranging  from 4.20″ (106.68 mm) L x 4.08″ (103.51 mm) W x 3.75″ (95.30 mm) H, to 4.89″ (124.20 mm) L x 5.70″ (144.78 mm) W x 5.25″ (133.40 mm) H, and range in weight from 7.0 lbs (3.18 kg) to 22.0 lbs (10.0 kg).

In 50 unit quantities, SLT  Series transformers range in price from $66.71 to $149.745 each.  Delivery is from stock to 6 weeks.
