DP-241-6-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DP-241-6-10 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Signal Transformer, rated at 30VA with dual primary windings (115V/230V) and a single secondary winding (10V, 3A maximum output). This chassis mount transformer features a center tap and solder/quick connect termination, designed for applications requiring isolated AC power conversion. The part is active in production status with full RoHS3 compliance and 2500Vrms isolation rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications align within acceptable engineering tolerances for direct replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FD6-10 manufactured by Triad Magnetics qualifies as a direct substitute for the DP-241-6-10 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical power rating (30VA)
• Matching primary voltage configuration (115V, 230V dual windings)
• Matching secondary voltage and current specifications (10V, 3A)
• Identical core type (laminated)
• Center tap present on secondary winding
• Equivalent chassis mount configuration
• Compatible termination style (solder and quick connect)
• Equivalent isolation voltage rating (2500V)
• Matching RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

Dimensional variations (length, width, height) fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for chassis mount applications where mounting footprints accommodate standard transformer spacing. Both parts share identical HTSUS and ECCN classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DP-241-6-10 and FD6-10 are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these transformers depends on availability and supply chain requirements. The DP-241-6-10 (Signal Transformer, Two-4-One™ series) currently maintains higher inventory (1019 pcs), while the FD6-10 (Triad Magnetics, Quick Pack series) provides 733 pcs in stock. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and carry identical regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8504.31.4035), ensuring equivalent performance in applications requiring 30VA power transformation with 2500V isolation. Dimensional tolerances between the two designs are negligible for standard chassis mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FD6-10 directly replace the DP-241-6-10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FD6-10 meets all electrical specifications (30VA, 115V/230V primary, 10V secondary, 3A output, center tap) and mechanical requirements (chassis mount, solder/quick connect termination) of the DP-241-6-10. Both transformers carry identical isolation voltage ratings and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The DP-241-6-10 measures 82.60mm L × 44.30mm W × 49.80mm H, while the FD6-10 measures 82.55mm L × 42.85mm W × 49.20mm H. These differences are within acceptable tolerances for standard chassis mount applications and do not affect electrical performance or mounting compatibility.

Q: Do both transformers support the same termination options?

A: Yes. Both parts feature solder and quick connect termination. The FD6-10 specifies quick connect as 0.187" (4.7mm), which is standard for this transformer class and compatible with DP-241-6-10 applications.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent?

A: Yes. Both transformers are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both share the identical HTSUS code (8504.31.4035), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Q: What is the significance of the center tap in these transformers?

A: The center tap on the secondary winding allows the 10V output to be configured as two 5V supplies or as a single 10V supply with a ground reference point. Both the DP-241-6-10 and FD6-10 include this feature, maintaining functional equivalence.

Q: Which part should be selected based on current inventory?

A: Selection should be based on supply chain availability and lead time requirements. The DP-241-6-10 currently has higher stock (1019 pcs), while the FD6-10 maintains 733 pcs. Both are active production parts with equivalent specifications.
