  Center tap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In electronics, a center tap is a wire that is connected to a point half way along one of the windings of a transformer, inductor or a resistor.
Center taps are sometimes used on inductors for the coupling of signals, although most tappings are not at the centre but usually near one end.
In the case of resistors, tapping is usually done only with potentiometers, and center tapping is just a special case of normal operation of these devices.

 Patent 4044394: Thin film magnetic head with a center tap
A center tap is derived from a connection portion of the two sections of the coil and a coil terminal is provided at each of the opposite free ends of the coil.
Further, the center tap is provided at the central position of the lead conductive film 62, so that the two sections of the coil with the center tap as the center of the two sections show only the differences in inductance and electrostatic capacitance corresponding to the differences in position of the respective windows.
A lead 100 provided to serve as a center tap is connected at its one end to the conductive film 90 through the window 97 and connected at the bend thereof to the conductive film 95 through a widow 98 formed at the center between the windows 97 and 99.

Figure 1 is a scatter plot of fraction of the signal that is on the center tap versus this fine position for a subset of the events from an observation of Cas-A (OBSID 1409).
Figure 5 is a similar plot for the negative side of the taps with the ordinate being the tap signal from the positive side of the tap.
Figures 12 and 13 display the events from the negative side of the v-axis and u-axis taps respectively with the corrections applied to the affected events; in both cases the sinusoidal distortion is greatly diminished.

The primary input terminals 5.sub.p and 6.sub.p are wound in two portions 5 and 6 (separated by the center connecting point 7.sub.p) around the E-I core 10 to provide a magnetic flux in the E-I core which will induce voltages into the secondaries of the transformer.
This applies a voltage from the center 7.sub.p of the primary winding to a first power switching transistor T.sub.1 and a second power switching transistor T.sub.2.
In the particular transistor configuration shown, the emitter of each transistor is connected to the negative DC input terminal 40.sub.b wile the collector of each transistor is connected to each end of the primary winding.
