Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan Inc. 6498R-012 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 6498-012 model. Selection of the 6498R-012 is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 6498-012 is classified as obsolete, limiting future availability and support. The 6498R-012 maintains active product status, ensuring continued supply and manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 6498R-012 is ROHS3 compliant and carries EAR99 ECCN classification with REACH unaffected status. The original 6498-012 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to regulatory requirements or procurement standards mandating RoHS compliance, the 6498R-012 satisfies these obligations.

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

Inventory Availability: The 6498R-012 is currently in stock with 917 units available, providing reliable supply for immediate and future requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6498R-012 be used as a direct replacement for the 6498-012 in existing designs?
