Belden Inc. BHTD196 Transformer Channel Lower Double

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. BHTD196 is a lower double transformer channel designed for rack and enclosure installations. This structural mounting component provides a dedicated support position for transformers within 19-inch rack systems. It slots into the lower section of a standard rack frame, keeping transformer weight low in the enclosure for improved stability. Electrical contractors and data center technicians install this channel as part of a complete rack assembly. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for use in both new rack builds and retrofit configurations where transformer mounting needs to be repositioned or upgraded.

The BHTD196 is suited for use in commercial and light industrial electrical installations where 19-inch rack infrastructure is standard. Typical applications include electrical distribution panels, control enclosures, and equipment racks requiring dedicated transformer support. It is installed by electricians and low-voltage technicians working with structured rack systems.

Key Features

• Double lower channel configuration provides secure, stable transformer seating within the rack
• Fits standard 19-inch rack systems for broad compatibility with common enclosure formats
• Single-unit packaging allows for individual replacement or targeted rack upgrades
• Designed for lower rack positioning to keep heavy transformer weight near the base of the enclosure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mounting component for use with standard 19-inch rack and enclosure systems that require a lower double transformer channel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage technician. De-energize all circuits and disconnect power to the rack assembly before installing or repositioning any mounting hardware. Verify that the rack frame is rated for the combined weight of the transformer and channel assembly before completing installation. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for equipment mounting and enclosure work.
