API Delevan 6496-036 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The API Delevan 6496-036 is a laminated core power transformer rated at 80VA with dual primary and secondary windings. The device supports selectable voltage configurations (115V or 230V primary input) and parallel or series secondary output modes (18V parallel / 36V series). This transformer is designed for chassis mount applications with solder and quick connect termination options.

The 6496-036 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design requirements where this component is specified or functionally required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6496-036 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

  • Identical power rating (80VA)
  • Identical primary voltage options (115V, 230V dual primary)
  • Identical secondary voltage configurations (18V parallel, 36V series)
  • Identical maximum output current ratings (4.4A parallel, 2.2A series)
  • Identical core type (laminated)
  • Identical winding configuration (dual primary, dual secondary)
  • Identical isolation voltage (4000Vrms)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Compliance Considerations:

  • Substitute parts should be active product status to ensure ongoing availability
  • RoHS compliance status is noted but does not prevent substitution in applications where the original part was specified

The API Delevan 6496R-036 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is classified as an active product.

The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and EAR99 export classification, providing enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete original part.

No electrical or mechanical modifications are required when substituting the 6496R-036 for the 6496-036. The parts are pin-compatible, dimensionally identical, and functionally equivalent across all operating modes and load conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6496R-036 be used as a direct replacement for the 6496-036 without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The 6496R-036 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 6496-036. No circuit modifications, rewiring, or design changes are required. The substitute part is a direct drop-in replacement.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and mounting footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions (63.50mm L x 60.33mm W x 76.20mm H max) and chassis mount configuration. PCB layouts and mechanical mounting designs require no adjustment.

Q: What is the difference between the 6496-036 and 6496R-036?

A: The primary difference is product status and compliance. The 6496-036 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 6496R-036 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the 6496R-036 affect compatibility with existing designs?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance indicates enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment. The substitute part maintains full functional and physical compatibility with designs originally specified for the non-compliant 6496-036.

Q: Are both solder and quick connect termination options available on the 6496R-036?

A: Yes. The 6496R-036 supports both solder and quick connect termination styles, matching the termination flexibility of the original 6496-036.

Q: What is the isolation voltage rating for both parts?

A: Both the 6496-036 and 6496R-036 are rated for 4000Vrms isolation voltage, providing identical electrical safety and isolation performance.

Q: Can the secondary windings be configured in both parallel and series modes?

A: Yes. Both parts feature dual secondary windings that support parallel configuration (18V at 4.4A max) and series configuration (36V at 2.2A max). Configuration is determined by winding connection method in the application circuit.
