Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the 6012-016 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitute part 6012R-016 maintains identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: primary voltage (115V), secondary voltage configuration (parallel 8V / series 16V), output current ratings (parallel 140mA / series 70mA), power rating (1.1VA), isolation voltage (2500Vrms), winding configuration, core type (laminated), and mounting method (through hole). Physical dimensions and termination style (PC pin) are also identical. The distinction between these parts lies in product status and regulatory compliance rather than functional electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6012R-016 is the direct substitute for the 6012-016. Selection is recommended based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 6012-016 is obsolete, while the 6012R-016 is active. For new designs or replenishment inventory, the 6012R-016 ensures component availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 6012R-016 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the original 6012-016 is non-compliant. The 6012R-016 satisfies regulatory requirements for systems subject to RoHS directives.

Functional Equivalence: All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and termination style are identical between the two parts. Direct functional replacement is established without performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the electrical outputs of the 6012-016 and 6012R-016 identical? A: Yes. Both transformers provide identical primary voltage input (115V), secondary voltage outputs (parallel 8V / series 16V), output current ratings (parallel 140mA / series 70mA), and power rating (1.1VA).

Q: Can the 6012R-016 replace the 6012-016 in existing circuit boards? A: Yes. The 6012R-016 shares identical physical dimensions, mounting type (through hole), and PC pin termination, enabling direct board-level substitution without mechanical or electrical modifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two transformer models? A: The primary difference is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 6012-016 is obsolete and non-RoHS compliant, while the 6012R-016 is currently active and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Does the 6012R-016 provide the same isolation voltage rating? A: Yes. Both parts maintain 2500Vrms isolation voltage, ensuring equivalent safety and performance characteristics in isolated power supply applications.

Q: Are there differences in physical footprint between these transformers? A: No. Both transformers have identical dimensions of 34.93mm length × 28.58mm width × 23.80mm seated height, confirming compatibility for direct board-level replacement.
