Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6026-036 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

  • Power rating (20VA)
  • Primary voltage selection (115V, 230V dual primary)
  • Secondary voltage outputs in both parallel (18V) and series (36V) configurations
  • Output current capacity (1.1A parallel, 550mA series)
  • Dual secondary winding configuration
  • Laminated core construction
  • Through-hole mounting with PC pin termination
  • Physical envelope (57.15mm L × 47.63mm W × 36.50mm H maximum)
  • Isolation voltage rating (2500Vrms)

The 6026R-036 satisfies all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria, with the primary distinction being active product status and improved regulatory compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6026R-036 is the direct equivalent substitute for the 6026-036. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications are identical. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and production continuity.

The 6026R-036 provides improved regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification, addressing environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to modern manufacturing and distribution. The original 6026-036, classified as obsolete, presents supply chain risk for ongoing applications.

Selection of the 6026R-036 maintains complete functional and physical compatibility with existing circuit designs and PCB layouts while providing access to current inventory and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 6026-036 and 6026R-036 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components provide identical electrical specifications: 20VA power rating, dual 115V/230V primary windings, dual secondary windings with 18V parallel and 36V series output options, and 2500Vrms isolation voltage. Output current capacity is identical at 1.1A (parallel) and 550mA (series).

Q: Do these transformers have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both components share identical through-hole mounting dimensions of 57.15mm length, 47.63mm width, and 36.50mm maximum seated height. PC pin termination style is identical on both parts.

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

A: The 6026-036 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited inventory availability. The 6026R-036 is active production, ensuring reliable supply for new designs and ongoing manufacturing requirements.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect functional performance?

A: RoHS compliance addresses material composition and hazardous substance content. The 6026R-036 ROHS3 compliance does not alter electrical performance or functional characteristics compared to the non-compliant 6026-036. Compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material standards.

Q: Can the 6026R-036 be used in existing designs originally specified for the 6026-036?

A: Yes. Complete electrical and mechanical equivalence permits direct substitution in existing circuit designs without modification to PCB layouts, wiring, or operational parameters.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The 6026R-036 maintains active inventory status with 1181 pieces available. The 6026-036 remains in stock with 855 pieces but is obsolete. For new production and long-term supply assurance, the 6026R-036 is the appropriate selection.
