Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Signal Transformer 241-6-56

Part Overview

The Signal Transformer 241-6-56 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 30VA with a 115V primary and 56V secondary output. This chassis-mount transformer is designed for applications requiring regulated secondary voltage with center tap configuration. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts may be required due to lead time constraints, regional availability, or specific packaging requirements while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Triad Magnetics F6-56 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Primary voltage: 115V (identical)
• Secondary voltage: 56V (identical)
• Power rating: 30VA (identical)
• Core type: Laminated (identical)
• Center tap configuration: Yes (identical)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount (identical)
• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms (identical)
• Termination style: Solder, Quick Connect (identical)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (identical)

The F6-56 maintains all critical electrical specifications and mechanical mounting requirements. Differences in current output rating and physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for chassis-mount transformer applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Signal Transformer 241-6-56 and Triad Magnetics F6-56 are active production components with identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (Bulk versus Box)
• Physical envelope constraints within the chassis assembly
• Current output margin requirements (540mA versus 450mA)

The F6-56 operates at 450mA maximum output current compared to the 241-6-56 at 540mA. Applications requiring output current approaching or exceeding 450mA should specify the 241-6-56 to maintain adequate design margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Triad Magnetics F6-56 directly replace the Signal Transformer 241-6-56?

A: Yes, the F6-56 is a direct electrical substitute. Both transformers share identical primary voltage (115V), secondary voltage (56V), power rating (30VA), core type (laminated), center tap configuration, mounting type (chassis mount), and isolation voltage (2500Vrms). Physical dimensions differ slightly; verify mounting envelope clearance in your specific application.

Q: What is the difference in current output between these parts?

A: The 241-6-56 provides 540mA maximum output current, while the F6-56 provides 450mA. For applications drawing current below 450mA, both parts are equivalent. Applications requiring higher current should use the 241-6-56.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. The 241-6-56 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the F6-56 is supplied in Box packaging. Both use identical termination styles (Solder, Quick Connect).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 241-6-56 and F6-56 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with identical isolation voltage ratings (2500Vrms).

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: The 241-6-56 measures 82.60mm L x 44.30mm W x 49.80mm H (seated). The F6-56 measures 82.55mm L x 71.42mm W x 49.20mm H (seated). The F6-56 has greater width; verify clearance in confined mounting spaces.
