The 6498R-036 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements and is manufactured by the same supplier, API Delevan Inc., ensuring design and performance continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6498R-036 is the direct active equivalent of the obsolete 6498-036. Both components are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: power rating, voltage configurations, current capacity, core type, winding configuration, mounting, termination, isolation voltage, and physical dimensions.

The 6498R-036 offers additional advantages in terms of product lifecycle and regulatory compliance. The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring reliable supply availability. The 6498R-036 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the 6498-036 is non-compliant with modern standards.

For new designs, maintenance applications, or component replacement requiring a 175VA laminated core transformer with dual primary and secondary windings, the 6498R-036 is the appropriate selection. The identical parameter set ensures direct functional and mechanical compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6498R-036 be used as a direct replacement for the 6498-036?

A: Yes. The 6498R-036 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 6498-036 across all specified parameters. Both transformers deliver 175VA power, support 115V/230V primary inputs, provide 18V parallel or 36V series secondary outputs, and feature identical mounting and termination configurations. Physical dimensions and isolation voltage are also identical.

Q: What is the difference between the 6498-036 and 6498R-036?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certifications. The 6498-036 is obsolete and non-compliant with RoHS standards. The 6498R-036 is in active production, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 6498R-036 for the 6498-036?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The transformers are identical in electrical performance, power rating, voltage configurations, current capacity, core construction, winding arrangement, mounting type, termination style, isolation voltage, and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without circuit or mechanical modifications.

Q: What are the output current ratings for each voltage configuration?

A: In parallel configuration (18V secondary), the maximum output current is 9.6A. In series configuration (36V secondary), the maximum output current is 4.8A. Both the 6498-036 and 6498R-036 support these identical ratings.

Q: What mounting and termination options are available?

A: Both transformers feature chassis mount construction with dual termination options: solder and quick connect. This allows flexibility in circuit board integration and field installation methods.

Q: Is the 6498R-036 suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The 6498R-036 is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications and markets requiring adherence to current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The obsolete 6498-036 does not meet these standards.
