6017-012 Power Transformer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The API Delevan Inc. 6017-012 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 36VA with a 115V primary winding and dual secondary windings configured for either 6.3V parallel or 12.6V series output. This through-hole mounted transformer with PC pin termination is classified as obsolete product status. The obsolescence of the 6017-012 necessitates identification of equivalent substitute components to maintain design continuity and ensure availability for new production builds and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6017-012 must satisfy the following criteria derived from electrical and mechanical specifications:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Power rating: 36VA (no variation permitted)
• Primary voltage: 115V (no variation permitted)
• Secondary voltage configuration: Dual winding capable of 6.3V parallel and 12.6V series operation (no variation permitted)
• Secondary current: Parallel 5.7A maximum and Series 2.85A maximum (no variation permitted)
• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms minimum (no variation permitted)
• Winding configuration: Single primary, dual secondary, no center tap (no variation permitted)
• Core type: Laminated core (no variation permitted)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through hole (no variation permitted)
• Termination style: PC pin (no variation permitted)
• Physical dimensions: 66.68mm L x 55.55mm W, 39.67mm height seated maximum (no variation permitted)

The 6017R-012 manufactured by API Delevan Inc. satisfies all electrical and mechanical parameters, with the primary distinction being product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6017R-012 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete 6017-012. Both parts are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 6017R-012 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability for procurement and supply chain management.

A critical distinction exists in regulatory compliance: the 6017-012 carries RoHS non-compliant status, while the 6017R-012 achieves ROHS3 compliance. Design implementations subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations must adopt the 6017R-012. For applications without RoHS constraints, the 6017R-012 remains the preferred selection due to its active product status, which guarantees manufacturer support and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6017R-012 directly replace the 6017-012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6017R-012 provides complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 6017-012. All power ratings, voltage specifications, winding configurations, isolation voltage, mounting dimensions, and termination styles are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 6017-012 is classified as obsolete, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued production and support. The 6017R-012 maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacture, availability, and technical support from API Delevan Inc.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance implications for substitution?

A: The 6017-012 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6017R-012 is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU) must implement the 6017R-012. Applications without RoHS constraints may use either part, though the 6017R-012 is recommended for its active status.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Both transformers feature identical dimensions (66.68mm L x 55.55mm W) and maximum seated height (39.67mm). Mounting type (through hole) and termination style (PC pin) are identical, enabling direct substitution without circuit board layout modifications.

Q: Do the electrical specifications require parametric verification for substitution?

A: The electrical specifications are identical across both parts: 36VA power rating, 115V primary input, 6.3V parallel or 12.6V series secondary output, 5.7A parallel or 2.85A series maximum current, and 2500Vrms isolation voltage. No parametric derating or design changes are necessary.
