6496-016 Laminated Power Transformer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The API Delevan Inc. 6496-016 is an 80VA laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mount applications with dual primary and secondary windings. This transformer provides selectable output configurations through series and parallel winding connections, delivering either 8V at 10A (parallel) or 16V at 5A (series) from a 115V or 230V primary input.

The 6496-016 carries an obsolete product status, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Obsolete classification indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited availability for future procurement, making substitute part identification critical for supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6496-016 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for power rating, primary and secondary voltage configurations, output current capabilities, winding configuration, core type, mounting method, termination style, isolation voltage rating, and physical dimensions.

The 6496R-016 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across these criteria. Both transformers share identical electrical performance characteristics, mechanical form factors, and functional capabilities. The primary distinction between these components is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance certification.

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

• 80VA power rating
• Dual primary windings supporting 115V and 230V selection
• Dual secondary windings enabling series (16V, 5A) and parallel (8V, 10A) configurations
• Laminated core construction
• Chassis mount configuration with solder and quick connect termination
• 4000Vrms isolation voltage
• Identical physical envelope (63.50mm L x 60.33mm W x 76.20mm H maximum)
