Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6016-056 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage specifications: Primary 115V and secondary dual-output configuration (parallel 28V / series 56V)
• Current capacity: Parallel 700mA and series 350mA maximum output
• Power rating: 20VA
• Core type: Laminated construction
• Winding configuration: Single primary, dual secondary, no center tap
• Mounting and termination: Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination
• Physical dimensions: 57.15mm L x 47.63mm W x 36.50mm H (max seated height)
• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms

The 6016R-056 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6016R-056 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 6016-056. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including voltage ratings, current capacity, winding configuration, and physical dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the 6016R-056 is active in production and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the 6016-056 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or system replacements, the 6016R-056 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact form-fit-function compatibility, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6016R-056 directly replace the 6016-056 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 6016R-056 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 6016-056. All voltage ratings, current capacities, winding configurations, mounting type, termination style, and physical dimensions are equivalent. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 6016-056 and 6016R-056?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 6016-056 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 6016R-056 is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 6016R-056 for the 6016-056?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts feature identical through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, physical dimensions, and electrical characteristics. PCB layout and circuit design require no modification.

Q: Why is the 6016-056 classified as obsolete?

A: The 6016-056 has been superseded by the 6016R-056, which maintains full functional equivalence while meeting current regulatory compliance standards.

Q: Can the secondary windings be configured independently?

A: Both the 6016-056 and 6016R-056 feature dual secondary windings that can be connected in parallel (28V, 700mA) or series (56V, 350mA) configuration. Winding configuration is determined by circuit design and connection method, not by part selection.
