Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the API Delevan Inc. 6496-012 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitution criteria include:

Electrical Parameters:

• Identical power rating (80VA)
• Matching primary voltage configurations (115V, 230V dual voltage)
• Matching secondary voltage outputs in both parallel (6.3V) and series (12.6V) configurations
• Equivalent maximum output current specifications (12.6A parallel, 6.3A series)
• Identical isolation voltage rating (4000Vrms)
• Matching winding configuration (dual primary, dual secondary, no center tap)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Identical core type (laminated)
• Matching mounting type (chassis mount)
• Compatible termination style (solder, quick connect)
• Identical physical dimensions (63.50mm L x 60.33mm W x 76.20mm H max)

The API Delevan Inc. 6496R-012 meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete 6496-012 model.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan Inc. 6496R-012 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 6496-012 model. Selection of the 6496R-012 is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 6496-012 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk for ongoing production and field service applications. The 6496R-012 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1118 pieces in stock), ensuring reliable component sourcing.

Regulatory Compliance: The 6496R-012 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The obsolete 6496-012 is non-compliant with current RoHS standards. For applications subject to RoHS compliance mandates, the 6496R-012 is the required selection.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All electrical parameters (power rating, voltage configurations, current ratings, isolation voltage, winding configuration) and mechanical parameters (core type, mounting, termination, physical dimensions) are identical between the two models, ensuring direct functional interchangeability without circuit modification or mechanical redesign.

Export Classification: The 6496R-012 carries ECCN classification EAR99 with HTSUS code 8504.31.4065, providing clear regulatory classification for international distribution and supply chain management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6496R-012 be used as a direct replacement for the 6496-012 without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The 6496R-012 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 6496-012. All voltage ratings, current ratings, winding configurations, isolation specifications, and physical dimensions match exactly. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 6496-012 and 6496R-012?

A: The 6496R-012 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 6496-012. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 compliant vs. non-compliant). All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Is the 6496R-012 available in the same packaging and termination options?

A: Yes. The 6496R-012 uses identical termination style (solder and quick connect options) and mounting type (chassis mount) as the 6496-012. Physical dimensions are identical, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Q: Why should I select the 6496R-012 over the 6496-012 for new designs?

A: The 6496-012 is obsolete with no ongoing production. The 6496R-012 is the active equivalent with confirmed inventory availability. Additionally, the 6496R-012 meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, which is mandatory for many applications and markets. For long-term supply chain security and regulatory compliance, the 6496R-012 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two models?

A: No. Both models deliver identical electrical performance across all specified parameters: 80VA power rating, dual 115V/230V primary voltage, dual 6.3V/12.6V secondary voltage outputs, 12.6A parallel and 6.3A series maximum output currents, and 4000Vrms isolation voltage.

Q: What is the inventory status for the 6496R-012?

A: The 6496R-012 has 1118 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing reliable availability for immediate procurement and production requirements.
