A41-130-16 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The A41-130-16 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Signal Transformer, rated at 130VA with dual primary and secondary windings. This chassis mount transformer operates at 115V or 230V primary input and delivers parallel 8V or series 16V secondary output. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial and commercial power conversion applications requiring isolation and voltage transformation.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across alternative manufacturers while preserving the core functional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The VPS16-8100 manufactured by Triad Magnetics qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical power rating: 130VA
• Matching primary voltage options: 115V, 230V
• Identical secondary voltage configuration: Parallel 8V, Series 16V
• Matching secondary current capacity: Parallel 16.2A, Series 8.1A
• Identical core type: Laminated
• Matching winding configuration: Dual primary, Dual secondary
• Identical mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Matching termination style: Solder, Quick Connect
• Identical voltage isolation: 4000Vrms
• Equivalent regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification

Mechanical dimensions vary slightly within acceptable tolerances for chassis mount applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and isolation characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the A41-130-16 and VPS16-8100 maintain Active product status and identical regulatory compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Chassis layout constraints, as dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances
• Manufacturer series preference (All-4-One™ versus World Series™)
• Supply chain and inventory considerations

The electrical and isolation specifications are equivalent, supporting direct substitution in applications requiring 130VA laminated core transformers with dual primary and secondary windings at the specified voltage and current ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VPS16-8100 replace A41-130-16 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both transformers deliver identical electrical specifications: 130VA power rating, 115V/230V primary input, parallel 8V or series 16V secondary output, and 4000Vrms isolation. Mechanical dimensions vary slightly but remain compatible with standard chassis mount applications.

Q: Are there differences in termination compatibility?

A: No. Both parts feature identical termination options: Solder and Quick Connect. Existing wiring and connection methods are directly compatible.

Q: What are the key substitution criteria for this transformer category?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: power rating (130VA), primary voltage options (115V, 230V), secondary voltage configuration (parallel 8V, series 16V), secondary current capacity (parallel 16.2A, series 8.1A), core type (laminated), winding configuration (dual primary, dual secondary), mounting type (chassis mount), and voltage isolation (4000Vrms).

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both A41-130-16 and VPS16-8100 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Are there inventory considerations between these parts?

A: The A41-130-16 has 1075 pieces in stock, while VPS16-8100 has 838 pieces available. Selection may depend on delivery timeline and supply chain requirements.
