Hi,
I have an isolated transformer I am mounting on a PCB, with isolated transformers do you know if it is okay to connect the negative input terminal to the negative output terminal (e.g. so they share a common ground)?

Thanks,
Don

You can but then it's no longer isolated. :rolleyes:

Don, Please describe what you mean by isolation transformer. I'm beginning to think that there is more than one definition of isolation transformer at work here.

The input and output of the transformer is isolated from each other. The model is TDK Lambda PXE3024S12.
