Transformer – Identification of an AC Transformer

acidentificationtransformer

I have a broken Philips alarm clock FM/AM radio broken, so I stripped some parts out of it.

One of it seems like an AC converter, but I cannot find any reference/datasheet about it. Do you have any information about this? (or what the meaning of the yellow/green wires are, I assume the black is GND and Red is VCC).

The dimensions of the yellow 'block' are 35.3mm x 29.7mm x 11.6mm.

The text is:

SIL35T0000095
3004

So all wires going out of this transformer and I would like to know the meaning of the yellow and green wires:

  • Blue wire (on the top back), going into the black cable you can see on the right page, it's going to the AC mains power plug (220V).
  • Brown wire (on the top back), going into the black cable you can see on the right page, it's going to the AC mains power plug (220V).
  • Green wire: What is the meaning of this wire?

  • Yellow wire: What is the meaning of this wire?

  • Red wire: I assume this is output? (AC/DC?)
  • Black wire: I assume this is ground

It's an AC/AC transformer, the rectifier was probably on the red/black lines. Usually Yellow\Green lines are for AC mains (according to international standards, but it also depends on the age of the device).

Your best bet is to hook up a signal generator, and see what the step down ratio is if you want to use it.

The other thing that will be of use is any markings on the outside of the clock that specify the current and voltage (you need the current) because that will give you a good idea of the saturation point of the transformer and how much power can be run through it.

EDIT:

I didn't see the blue black line in the picture which is not clearly indicated: The primary is most likely blue brown and there are two secondaries, in this case red/black are one secondary and the other secondary is yellow/green
