Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6016-120 is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Power rating: 20VA (exact match required)
• Primary voltage: 115V single winding (exact match required)
• Secondary voltage configuration: Dual secondary providing 60V parallel and 120V series outputs (exact match required)
• Maximum output current: Parallel 320mA, Series 160mA (exact match required)
• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Core type: Laminated (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC pin (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 57.15mm L × 47.63mm W × 36.50mm H maximum (exact match required)

The 6016R-120 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the 6016-120, providing a direct substitution pathway while addressing product status and compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6016R-120 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 6016-120. Both components are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and provide identical electrical performance and physical compatibility. The critical distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance: the 6016-120 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6016R-120 is an active production part with RoHS3 compliance certification. The 6016R-120 maintains full backward compatibility with existing designs using the 6016-120, supporting direct replacement without circuit modifications or mechanical redesign. Selection of the 6016R-120 is appropriate for new designs, production restocking, and field replacements where regulatory compliance and ongoing manufacturer support are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6016R-120 replace the 6016-120 in existing circuits? A: Yes, the 6016R-120 provides complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 6016-120. All voltage ratings, current outputs, winding configurations, mounting geometry, and termination styles are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 6016-120? A: The 6016-120 is classified as obsolete, limiting manufacturer availability and ongoing procurement support. The 6016R-120 is an active production part from the same manufacturer, ensuring supply continuity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: The 6016-120 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6016R-120 holds RoHS3 compliance certification. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications. For new designs or applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 6016R-120 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do the physical dimensions of the 6016R-120 match the 6016-120? A: Yes, both parts are identical in all physical dimensions: 57.15mm length, 47.63mm width, and 36.50mm maximum seated height. Through-hole mounting and PC pin termination are equivalent, supporting direct PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts? A: The 6016-120 has 744 pieces in stock; the 6016R-120 has 723 pieces in stock. However, only the 6016R-120 has active production status, ensuring future availability.
