API Delevan 6498-016 Laminated Power Transformer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The API Delevan 6498-016 is a 175VA laminated core power transformer designed for chassis mount applications with dual primary and secondary windings. The primary winding supports 115V or 230V input, while the secondary winding provides parallel 8V or series 16V output configurations. This transformer features quick connect and solder termination options with 4000Vrms isolation rating.

The 6498-016 carries an obsolete product status, making it necessary to identify active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing system support. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the API Delevan 6498-016 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must match the following critical criteria:

Electrical Parameters:

• Power rating of 175VA
• Primary voltage support for both 115V and 230V
• Secondary voltage outputs of 8V (parallel) and 16V (series)
• Output current capacity of 22A (parallel) and 11A (series)
• Dual primary and dual secondary winding configuration
• 4000Vrms isolation voltage rating
• No center tap configuration

Mechanical Parameters:

• Laminated core construction
• Chassis mount mounting type
• Solder and quick connect termination options
• Physical dimensions of 79.38mm L x 73.03mm W x 95.25mm H (seated maximum)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or mechanical modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The API Delevan 6498R-016 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 6498-016 model. Both parts are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including power rating, voltage configurations, current capacity, core construction, winding configuration, mounting type, termination style, and physical dimensions.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 6498-016 is classified as obsolete and carries non-compliant RoHS status. The 6498R-016 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification, making it suitable for new designs and applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. The 6498R-016 also carries REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

For applications requiring continued support of existing equipment using the 6498-016, the 6498R-016 provides full functional and mechanical compatibility. For new designs, the 6498R-016 is the specified replacement part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6498R-016 be used as a direct replacement for the 6498-016 in existing equipment?

A: Yes. The 6498R-016 maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility with the 6498-016. All voltage ratings, current capacities, winding configurations, mounting specifications, and physical dimensions are equivalent. No circuit modifications or mechanical adjustments are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 6498-016 and 6498R-016 part numbers?

A: The 6498R-016 represents an updated version of the 6498-016 with active product status and improved regulatory compliance. The "R" designation indicates the revised series. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these two parts?

A: Yes. The 6498-016 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 6498R-016 is ROHS3 compliant. The 6498R-016 also carries REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. For applications subject to RoHS3 or REACH regulations, the 6498R-016 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts support the same termination options?

A: Yes. Both the 6498-016 and 6498R-016 feature identical termination styles: solder and quick connect. Existing wiring and connection methods are fully compatible between these parts.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these transformers?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 79.38mm length x 73.03mm width with a maximum seated height of 95.25mm. Mechanical mounting and spatial requirements are equivalent.

Q: What voltage configurations are supported by the 6498R-016?

A: The 6498R-016 supports primary input voltages of 115V or 230V with selectable secondary output configurations of 8V (parallel, 22A maximum) or 16V (series, 11A maximum). This matches the 6498-016 specification exactly.

Q: Is the isolation voltage rating the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both the 6498-016 and 6498R-016 provide 4000Vrms isolation voltage rating, ensuring equivalent safety and performance characteristics in isolated power applications.
