NOTE1! All types above can be gapped for other DC current than listed 
NOTE2! We recommend LL1630/5mA and LL1635/5mA for push-pull preamplifier stages where some DC imbalance 
occurs. The LL1635 data sheet is updated to reflect some limitations in it's use.
NOTE3! For most SE applications, the LL1660 outperforms the LL1630 and LL1635

Output transformers. The LL1620, LL1623, LL1627 and LL9202 is a range of tube output transformers based on the same core size and winding topology. The range share the same high quality silicon iron C-core and have identical secondary windings. They differ only in the number of turns of the primary windings Each type can be used for a number of different primary impedance levels by using different secondary terminations. The transformers are available in push-pull or singel end versions with different core air-gap for different DC currents. The transformers are highly sectioned (in all 10 sections) for excellent frequency response. The use of C-cores and well defined airgaps results in an almost constant inductance throughout the whole operating voltage range. For SE transformers, the primary inductance variation due to signal level is less than 7% The tables below displays only a few of many possible uses. Please refer to the full datasheets for more complete information.

More output transformers!! The LL1663, LL1664 and LL1682 are small size OPTs with a less flexible structure (and thus much easier to use) than the types above.

Magnum size OPT primarily designed for the 845 tube. The LL1688 is presently (spring 2004) the biggest transformer in our OPT range.

The LL1691 is less sectioned and has in some initial tests (spring 2005) performed even better than the LL1688. The LL1691 is however much less flexible than the LL1688.

Mains transformers In our C-core mains transformers, a very small air-gap is used to compensate for any DC unbalance in the mains outlet. Secondary voltages listed are no-load voltages. Voltage drop because of load is to be calculated from transformer copper resistance and load current. Electrical size is estimated to 250VA, which can be increased with good cooling. For optimal use, about 75% of power should be taken from secondary 1. Primaries should be connected in series for 210 - 250 V, in parallel for 105 - 125V. Table entries are calculated for primary voltage 230 V. NOTE! Please study a very smart hybrid power supply principle. This principle avoids the very high voltage of an all tube rectifier and uses the transformer more efficiently.
