API Delevan 6052-230 Laminated Power Transformer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The API Delevan 6052-230 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 6VA with dual primary and secondary windings. This through-hole mounted component provides selectable voltage configurations through parallel and series winding connections, supporting both 115V and 230V primary inputs with corresponding secondary outputs.

The 6052-230 carries an obsolete product status, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics to ensure direct replacement capability without circuit redesign.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6052-230 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Identical power rating (6VA)
• Matching primary voltage selections (115V, 230V)
• Matching secondary voltage outputs in both parallel (115V) and series (230V) configurations
• Equivalent maximum output current specifications (50mA parallel, 25mA series)
• Identical isolation voltage rating (1500Vrms)
• Matching winding configuration (dual primary, dual secondary)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Identical core type (laminated)
• Matching mounting method (through hole)
• Identical termination style (PC pin)
• Equivalent physical dimensions (34.93mm L × 28.58mm W × 23.80mm H maximum)
• Matching weight specification (0.438 lb)

Compliance Considerations:

• Substitute parts must be from the same manufacturer (API Delevan Inc.) or equivalent qualified source
• RoHS compliance status and REACH classification are secondary selection factors based on application requirements

The 6052R-230 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6052R-230 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 6052-230 based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and share identical specifications across all critical performance and dimensional criteria.

Product Status Consideration: The 6052-230 is classified as obsolete, while the 6052R-230 maintains active product status. This distinction is significant for long-term supply chain planning and component availability. The 6052R-230 is the recommended selection for new designs and production continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The 6052R-230 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 6052-230 is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 6052R-230 provides regulatory alignment without performance compromise.

Direct Replacement Capability: No circuit modifications, PCB layout changes, or functional adjustments are required when substituting the 6052R-230 for the 6052-230. Pin-to-pin compatibility, electrical performance, and mechanical fit are fully maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6052R-230 be used as a direct replacement for the 6052-230 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6052R-230 provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 6052-230. All voltage ratings, current specifications, winding configurations, isolation characteristics, and physical dimensions are identical. No circuit redesign or PCB modification is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 6052-230 and 6052R-230?

A: The 6052R-230 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 6052-230. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical. The 6052R-230 additionally achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 6052-230 is non-compliant.

Q: Are the pin configurations identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both the 6052-230 and 6052R-230 use PC pin termination with identical through-hole mounting. Pin-to-pin compatibility is complete.

Q: Do these transformers support both 115V and 230V primary inputs?

A: Yes. Both the 6052-230 and 6052R-230 feature dual primary windings that can be configured for either 115V or 230V input operation. Secondary windings similarly support parallel (115V) or series (230V) output configurations.

Q: What is the maximum power handling capacity?

A: Both transformers are rated at 6VA maximum power. Output current is limited to 50mA in parallel secondary configuration and 25mA in series secondary configuration.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical dimensions of 34.93mm length × 28.58mm width × 23.80mm maximum height, with equivalent weight of 0.438 lb (198.67 g).

Q: Which part should be selected for new production?

A: The 6052R-230 should be selected for new designs and ongoing production. It maintains active product status and provides ROHS3 compliance while delivering identical electrical and mechanical performance to the obsolete 6052-230.
