Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 6446-024 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Power rating (20VA)
• Core type (laminated)
• Primary voltage configuration (115V, 230V dual winding)
• Secondary voltage output (parallel 12V, series 24V dual winding)
• Output current capacity (parallel 1.66A, series 830mA)
• Mounting type (through hole)
• Termination style (PC pin)
• Isolation voltage (4000Vrms)
• Physical envelope (57.15mm L × 47.63mm W × 36.50mm H)

The 6446R-024 qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6446R-024 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 6446-024. Both components share identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical form factors, ensuring pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility in existing circuit designs.

The primary distinction between these components is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The 6446-024 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6446R-024 maintains active production status and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. For new designs and ongoing system support, the 6446R-024 is the appropriate selection.

Both components maintain equivalent isolation voltage (4000Vrms), power capacity (20VA), and output current specifications across parallel and series winding configurations. No circuit redesign or performance trade-offs are required when transitioning from the 6446-024 to the 6446R-024.
