API Delevan 6012-020 Laminated Power Transformer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The API Delevan 6012-020 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 1.1VA with a 115V primary voltage and dual secondary windings configured for parallel (10V, 110mA) or series (20V, 55mA) operation. This component is designed for through-hole mounting with PC pin termination and provides 2500Vrms isolation.

The 6012-020 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support, maintenance, and new production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while preferably offering improved compliance status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6012-020 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Primary voltage: 115V
• Secondary voltage configuration: Dual windings with parallel 10V/110mA and series 20V/55mA capability
• Power rating: 1.1VA
• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms
• Winding configuration: Single primary, dual secondary, no center tap

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Core type: Laminated
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination style: PC pin
• Physical dimensions: 34.93mm L × 28.58mm W
• Maximum seated height: 23.80mm

The 6012R-020 satisfies all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria, with the primary distinction being active product status and improved RoHS3 compliance compared to the obsolete 6012-020.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolescence Mitigation: The 6012-020 is classified as obsolete. The 6012R-020 provides direct functional replacement with active product status, ensuring continued availability for design support, production, and field service applications.

For Regulatory Compliance: The 6012R-020 achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 6012-020 is RoHS non-compliant. Organizations subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance should transition to the 6012R-020.

For PCB Integration: Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, and footprint dimensions (34.93mm L × 28.58mm W, 23.80mm maximum seated height). Direct PCB substitution is supported without layout modification.

For Electrical Performance: All electrical parameters are identical between the 6012-020 and 6012R-020, including primary voltage (115V), dual secondary configurations (parallel 10V/110mA, series 20V/55mA), power rating (1.1VA), and isolation voltage (2500Vrms). No circuit redesign is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6012R-020 be used as a direct replacement for the 6012-020 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6012R-020 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 6012-020. All electrical parameters, mounting specifications, and physical dimensions are identical. Direct substitution on PCBs designed for the 6012-020 is supported without modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 6012-020 and 6012R-020?

A: The 6012R-020 is an active product with RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 6012-020 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any inventory or lead time considerations?

A: The 6012-020 has 1018 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 6012R-020 has 942 pieces in stock. Both are available from current inventory. Consult with your supplier for current lead times and availability.

Q: Does the 6012R-020 maintain the same isolation voltage rating?

A: Yes. Both the 6012-020 and 6012R-020 provide 2500Vrms isolation voltage. Isolation performance is identical.

Q: Can both secondary winding configurations (parallel and series) be used interchangeably with the 6012R-020?

A: Yes. The 6012R-020 maintains dual secondary windings with identical parallel (10V, 110mA) and series (20V, 55mA) configurations as the 6012-020. Both configurations are supported without modification.

Q: What are the export classification implications of using the 6012R-020?

A: Both the 6012-020 and 6012R-020 carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8504.31.4035. Export classification is identical.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance mandatory for my application?

A: RoHS3 compliance is required in jurisdictions enforcing RoHS directives and for customers with RoHS compliance mandates. The 6012R-020 satisfies these requirements; the 6012-020 does not. Verify your regulatory and customer requirements.
