Trying To Understand This Transformer Schematic/Diagram - I Want To Convert 120VAC to 24VAC, or 240VAC to 24VAC

Hello, I am interested in using this transformer in a project:

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Wurth-Elektronik/750811248?qs=J4sk5G6CMwZ3EkszqNp3lw==
https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/445/750811248-1724441.pdf

Here is the schematic:

I am a bit confused how to wire this for 120VAC to 24VAC. It seems like I would run 120VAC hot to pin 1, 120VAC neutral to pin 4, and then connect pin 2 and 3 together. And then on the other side, I'm not sure how to handle pins 8, 9, 10, and 11 to get the 24VAC+ and common. Would I tie 10 and 11 together for the 24VAC+, and then 8 and 9 together for the 24VAC- (common)?

And then what if I want to configure this for 240VAC to 24VAC?

Thanks and any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

60-400kHz????
That looks to be very odd specs for a transformer.
If it is just a 60Hz one, for 120V, pins 1 and 2 together to Active, pins 3 and 4 to Neutral.
For 240V, Active to pin 1, connect 2 and 3 together, Neutral to pin 4.
At lest that is what I would try.

Seems like pins 1 and 2 tied together to 120VAC phase and pins 3 and 4 tied together to 120VAC neutral yields 24 VAC output between pins 5 and 6 or between pins 8 and 10. Find the specifications or its data sheet for extra details as pins 9 and 11.

For 240VAC input; phase to pin 1 and neutral to pin 4; with pins 2 and 3 tied together. Outputs same as above.

Short 2-3, 10-11, 8-9
Primary (4 turns) 1-4, power secondary 9,8 --10,11, Aux power 5-6. all (1 turn)
Nor really 4:1 turns but that is the turn ratio.
For switching power supply. Not for 60hz.

I will try to find a circuit to drive the transformer is you are interested.

Are you wanting to make a switchmode psu to give you 24V from mains power,? if so please note that these are designed for high frequency use in a switchmode psu not for direct connection with 50/60Hz .

Thanks for all of the responses! Yeah I didn't realize the application was for 60Khz on up... I thought it was 60Hz. So I'm guessing this transformer is not going to work for me?

I can't work and can blow up like a bomb if you use with 60Hz
Don't do it, very dangerous

60Hz to 400kHz - almost four decades of bandwidth - now that would be impressive for a transformer!
No, it is 60 Kilohertz to 400 Kilohertz. The description is rather misleading. It is an inverter transformer. Then read the resistances on the data sheet. Also note that the transformer mounts to a circuit board, while the picture of the one in post #10 looks totally different.

It was irony (and coppery, too)
I’d say it was a flyback transformer.
something like this

would control it.

The transformer in question is much smaller than the one in #10. The picture in the Mouser catalog is slightly wrong. This one is from Digikey. 1.2 inch 32cm Note, low frequency transformers often have a core made from layers of metal. This high frequency transformer has a ferrite core.
