Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6498-230 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. The primary substitution criteria include:

Electrical Parameters:

• Dual primary and dual secondary winding configuration
• Laminated core construction type
• 4000Vrms isolation voltage rating
• Chassis mount form factor
• Solder and quick connect termination compatibility

Mechanical Parameters:

• Identical physical dimensions: 79.38mm L x 73.03mm W
• Identical seated height: 95.25mm maximum

The substitute part 6498R-230 maintains these critical parameters while offering active product status and improved regulatory compliance. The 6498R-230 is manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer (API Delevan Inc.), ensuring design continuity and functional equivalence for applications currently utilizing the 6498-230.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6498R-230 serves as the direct active substitute for the obsolete 6498-230 transformer. Selection of the 6498R-230 is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 6498-230 is classified as obsolete, whereas the 6498R-230 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (780 pieces in stock). Active status ensures continued supply chain access and manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: The 6498R-230 achieves ROHS3 compliance and carries REACH Unaffected designation, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations. The original 6498-230 is RoHS non-compliant, reflecting its obsolete classification.

Export Classification: The 6498R-230 carries EAR99 classification with HTSUS code 8504.31.4065, providing clear export control status for international applications.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: Identical physical dimensions, mounting configuration, termination style, and core isolation voltage ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility within existing circuit designs and mechanical assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6498R-230 directly replace the 6498-230 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 6498R-230 maintains identical physical dimensions (79.38mm L x 73.03mm W x 95.25mm H), mounting type (chassis mount), termination style (solder and quick connect), and isolation voltage (4000Vrms). These parameters ensure direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What electrical parameters determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is based on dual primary winding configuration, dual secondary winding configuration, laminated core construction, and 4000Vrms isolation voltage. The 6498R-230 preserves all these electrical characteristics.

Q: Why is the 6498-230 classified as obsolete?

A: The 6498-230 is no longer in active production. The 6498R-230 represents the current active equivalent from the same manufacturer, offering improved regulatory compliance and continued availability.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between the two models?

A: The provided specifications confirm identical core type, winding configuration, isolation voltage, and physical form factor. Both units are manufactured by API Delevan Inc. and designed for the same application requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The 6498R-230 has 780 pieces in stock as new original inventory, ensuring availability for immediate procurement.

Q: Does the 6498R-230 meet current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. The 6498R-230 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance directives. The obsolete 6498-230 does not carry these certifications.

Q: Are the termination options identical between both models?

A: Yes. Both the 6498-230 and 6498R-230 feature solder and quick connect termination styles, ensuring compatibility with existing wiring and connection methods.
