Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6026-012 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish valid substitution:

• Identical power rating (20VA)
• Matching primary voltage selections (115V, 230V)
• Matching secondary voltage outputs in both parallel (6.3V) and series (12.6V) configurations
• Equivalent maximum output current specifications (parallel 3.2A, series 1.6A)
• Identical core type (laminated)
• Matching mounting type (through hole) and termination style (PC pin)
• Equivalent isolation voltage rating (2500Vrms)
• Compatible physical dimensions and form factor

The 6026R-012 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete 6026-012.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6026R-012 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 6026-012. Both components share identical electrical specifications and physical form factors, ensuring pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility in existing PCB designs.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 6026-012 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6026R-012 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. For new designs and systems requiring regulatory adherence to RoHS3 standards, the 6026R-012 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS3 compliance is not a requirement, the 6026R-012 remains functionally equivalent and is the recommended choice due to its active product status and continued availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6026R-012 be used as a direct replacement for the 6026-012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6026R-012 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 6026-012. Both components have the same power rating, voltage specifications, current ratings, core type, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the 6026-012 and 6026R-012?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 6026-012 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 6026R-012 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Why should I use the 6026R-012 instead of the 6026-012?

A: The 6026-012 is obsolete, which limits future availability and support. The 6026R-012 is an active product with confirmed inventory and ongoing manufacturer support. Additionally, the 6026R-012 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, which may be necessary for regulatory or procurement standards.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 6026-012 and 6026R-012 have identical dimensions of 57.15mm length, 47.63mm width, and 36.50mm height. They share the same through-hole PC pin termination and will fit existing PCB layouts without modification.

Q: What are the selectable output configurations for these transformers?

A: Both transformers provide dual secondary winding configurations. The secondary windings can be connected in parallel to deliver 6.3V at 3.2A maximum, or in series to deliver 12.6V at 1.6A maximum. The primary accepts either 115V or 230V input.
