Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6496-010 with the 6496R-010 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence across all critical specifications. Both transformers maintain identical electrical characteristics: 80VA power rating, dual primary and secondary winding configurations, selectable output voltages (parallel 5V/series 10V), matching current ratings (parallel 16A/series 8A), and equivalent isolation voltage of 4000Vrms. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical chassis mount configuration, matching physical dimensions (63.50mm L x 60.33mm W x 76.20mm H maximum seated height), and compatible termination styles (solder and quick connect). The substitution is driven by product lifecycle status: the 6496-010 is obsolete, while the 6496R-010 is active production. Both components are manufactured by API Delevan Inc., ensuring design continuity and functional interchangeability in existing circuit applications.

The 6496R-010 offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications. The component is actively manufactured and maintained in production inventory, ensuring consistent supply availability and long-term component lifecycle support compared to the obsolete 6496-010.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6496R-010 be used as a direct replacement for the 6496-010 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6496R-010 provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence to the 6496-010. All electrical parameters including power rating, voltage configurations, current ratings, and isolation voltage are identical. Physical dimensions and mounting characteristics are unchanged, permitting direct substitution without circuit or mechanical redesign.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by power rating (80VA), primary voltage options (115V/230V), secondary voltage configurations (parallel 5V/series 10V), output current ratings (parallel 16A/series 8A), winding configurations (dual primary and secondary), and isolation voltage (4000Vrms). The 6496R-010 matches all these parameters with the 6496-010.

Q: Are there differences in RoHS compliance between these transformers?

A: Yes. The 6496-010 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6496R-010 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 6496R-010 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, both components are functionally equivalent.

Q: Do the transformers have identical physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both the 6496-010 and 6496R-010 share identical chassis mount dimensions: 63.50mm length, 60.33mm width, and 76.20mm maximum seated height. No mechanical modifications are required when substituting between these components.

Q: What termination options are available on the 6496R-010?

A: The 6496R-010 provides both solder and quick connect termination styles, matching the 6496-010 configuration. Component selection should be based on existing circuit board termination requirements and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the 6496-010 classified as obsolete?

A: The 6496-010 has been discontinued from active production. The 6496R-010 represents the current active production equivalent, ensuring ongoing supply chain availability and manufacturer support for new applications and field replacements.
