flyback transfomer - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

hello, could anybody tell me how to figure out the primary input pin(with approximate 1ohm coil inductance? how to find the polarity for 2 input pins as well..)and the secondary high voltage and ground pin for flyback transformer.. thanks

Hi!

I assume you mean flyback transformer as used in a TV or computer monitor, not the kind of transformer used for (relatively) low-power switching power supplies. If I'm wrong, please correct!

There are several varieties of flyback transformer on the market. One kind has a terminal common to the primary and secondary, the other does not.

Often, the output is a separate socket or lead, with high voltage insulation - but not always.

To muddy the waters even further, many modern flybacks are actually integrated power supplies - commonly a voltage doubler or tripler is built in to the flyback itself.

So you need to be a bit more specific about what you need to know, and where you're starting from!

Good Luck,
Fred
