Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6497-016 with the active 6497R-016 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 130VA power rating, dual primary and secondary windings, 115V/230V primary voltage selection, 8V parallel and 16V series secondary voltage outputs, 16.2A parallel and 8.1A series maximum output currents, laminated core construction, chassis mount configuration, solder and quick connect termination options, and 4000Vrms isolation voltage rating.

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Identical power rating and voltage specifications
• Matching winding configurations and output current capabilities
• Equivalent core type and isolation characteristics
• Compatible mounting and termination methods
• Identical physical envelope dimensions

The primary distinction between these components is product status and regulatory compliance. The 6497-016 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 6497R-016 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification.
