The BLOCK USTE series provides a versatile solution for a wide range of input voltages, allowing OEMs and system integrators to save time and reduce costs by standardizing on a single model. Available in ratings from 40 to 3200 VA, they feature low inrush current, tool-free push-in wire terminals, and thirteen jumper selectable primary inputs from 208 to 600 VAC. In addition, the 12/24 VAC models comply with safety standards to ensure a safe power supply for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) circuits.
The new BLOCK open core control transformers are RoHS compliant, CE marked, and come with a 3-year warranty. The CT series is UL Recognized and starts at $53.00, while the USTE series is UL Listed and starts at $64.00.
