Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6494-020 with the active 6494R-020 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components maintain identical specifications across all critical performance parameters: 25VA power rating, dual primary and secondary winding configurations, 115V/230V primary voltage selection, 20V series and 10V parallel secondary outputs, 1.25A and 2.5A maximum output currents respectively, 4000Vrms isolation voltage, laminated core construction, chassis mount configuration, and solder/quick connect termination options. Physical dimensions and mounting footprint are identical, enabling direct mechanical substitution. The primary distinction between these components is product status and regulatory compliance: the 6494-020 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6494R-020 is active production and ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.
