Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 6026-016 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The critical substitution criteria include identical power rating (20VA), matching voltage configurations (primary 115V/230V selectable, secondary 8V parallel or 16V series), identical output current ratings, matching core type (laminated), identical winding configurations (dual primary and dual secondary), and compatible mechanical form factor (through-hole mounting, PC pin termination).

The 6026R-016 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all specified electrical parameters, physical dimensions, and mechanical interface characteristics while advancing the product status from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6026R-016 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 6026-016. Both components deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. The primary differentiator is regulatory compliance: the 6026R-016 achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the 6026-016 is non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing production, the 6026R-016 is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and improved environmental regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status and equivalent certification under ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6026R-016 directly replace the 6026-016 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6026R-016 provides identical electrical specifications (20VA, dual primary/secondary windings, 115V/230V primary, 8V parallel/16V series secondary outputs, 2500Vrms isolation) and physical form factor (57.15mm × 47.63mm × 36.50mm, through-hole PC pin termination). No circuit modifications or board redesign are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for selecting a substitute?

A: The 6026-016 is classified as obsolete. The 6026R-016 maintains all functional and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there any physical compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both transformers share identical dimensions and mounting specifications (through-hole, PC pin termination), ensuring direct footprint compatibility on existing printed circuit boards.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to environmental regulatory alignment and material composition restrictions, not electrical or mechanical performance characteristics. Both parts deliver the same 20VA power delivery, voltage transformation ratios, and isolation voltage.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitutability for this transformer class?

A: Primary voltage rating (115V or 230V), secondary voltage configuration (8V parallel or 16V series), output current capacity (2.5A parallel or 1.25A series), winding configuration (dual primary and dual secondary), power rating (20VA), core type (laminated), and isolation voltage (2500Vrms). The 6026R-016 matches all these parameters.

Q: Is the 6026-016 still available for procurement?

A: The 6026-016 is obsolete but inventory is available (692 pieces new original stock). For long-term availability and supply continuity, the active 6026R-016 (1049 pieces in stock) is the preferred selection.
