Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 6495R-016 is identified as a direct substitute for the obsolete 6495-016 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

Electrical Equivalence Parameters:

• Identical power rating (43VA)
• Matching primary voltage options (115V, 230V)
• Identical secondary voltage configurations (Parallel 8V, Series 16V)
• Matching output current specifications (Parallel 5.4A, Series 2.7A)
• Equivalent isolation voltage (4000Vrms)
• Identical winding configuration (Dual primary, Dual secondary)

Mechanical Equivalence Parameters:

• Identical core type (Laminated)
• Matching mounting type (Chassis Mount)
• Compatible termination style (Solder, Quick Connect)
• Identical physical dimensions (79.38mm L x 52.39mm W x 68.26mm H max)

The 6495R-016 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 6495-016 specification while offering the advantage of active product status and improved regulatory compliance.
