What Are Common Uses of Flyback Transformers? Answer the Question and You Could Win an Oscilloscope!

A flyback transformer is a special type of transformer that stores energy in the gap of its core. Flyback transformers are used flyback converters for voltage transformation and isolation. They are also used in many other types of devices.

If you answered (d) and are interested in testing different uses of flyback transformers, then you're the kind of person we are seeking to be part of element14's Experimenting with Flyback Transformers program!

What is the Experimenting with Flyback Transformers Competition?

imageThe element14 Community is sponsoring a competition for electronics technicians and engineers; all they have to do is perform experiments or tests of their own design on a selection of flyback transformers that we will send to you free of charge (FOC).

For your efforts, we are offering a selection of great prizes that would feel right at home in your lab! See picture on the right.

It doesn't cost anything to participate. To enroll in this competition or to learn more click here.

    Nice prizes!

    It would be great to see a high-voltage (low current) power supply as a project using the transformers, especially if it was adjustable.

     

    Both first and runner-up prizes look attractive.

    I was considering buying that exact model hot-air tool at the start of the year, since it's extremely powerful (1kW).

    In the end, I went with another model, but the MP740784 was in the top-three list. I believe it has a turbine type of fan, which is more reliable (and quieter).

    The power helps to bring ICs up to temperature fast enough not to toast them. I did these two chips on the photo below, yesterday, using a hot air tool. There is a lot of copper heatsinking, so I really needed the power to get the solder up to temperature. A pre-heater helps too.
