Description
Use these small 6-volt transformers to replace vintage Touchplate PL-6 or PL-120 pilot light transformers in systems built before mid-1985. Pilot lights are useful for indicating where room lights are still on and were typically used in control panels found in a primary bedroom, kitchen, or near a home's main entrances.
Features
- AC Power Filament Transformer with center tap for use in 2-wire low voltage system
- use the two red wires for 6V to power the pilot lights; use one red and one green wire for 3V
- Input Voltage: 120 VAC - black wires
- Secondary Rated Voltage: 6 VAC - red wires
- Rated Current: 1000 mA (1A)
- Secondary VAC with no load: 7.86 V
- Given Output voltage is across the entire secondary
- Center green tapped lead provides half that voltage from the center to either lead wire
- Resistive Load: 6.8 Ohms
- Output VAC with load: 7.05 V
- replaces vintage PL6 and PL120 pilot light transformers
- Classic style with metal bracket with mounting holes
- Mounting hole center to center: 2.30"
- Height: 1.7"
- Width: 1.97"
- Depth: 1.58"
- Actual product model and brand may differ from image shown but will work in a Touch Plate system to power the pilot lights

Note: The old Permoflux PL6 were used strictly to illuminate the pilot light bulbs in the switches (historically clear buttons with red pilot light bulbs behind them); removing them from the system will not affect the functionality of the switch.
Q & A
Q. Some of the pilot lights on my Touch Plate Classic control panel no longer light up. How many replacement pilot light transformers will I need?
Each pilot light button in the control panel requires its own transformer.
