Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F56-110 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Primary voltage: 115V
• Secondary voltage configuration: Parallel 28V, Series 56V
• Output current ratings: Parallel 220mA, Series 110mA
• Power rating: 6VA
• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Core type: Laminated
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pin
• Physical dimensions: 41.28mm L x 33.32mm W x 33.32mm H (seated)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance required
• REACH Unaffected status

The substitute part 164F56 (Hammond Manufacturing) meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the F56-110 and 164F56 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

The F56-110 (Triad Magnetics) is the primary specified part. The 164F56 (Hammond Manufacturing) is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent suitable for applications where supply availability or procurement requirements necessitate alternative sourcing.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Procurement channel and supplier relationships
• Packaging format preference (Box versus Bulk)
• Cost considerations within the supply chain

Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance specifications and physical mounting requirements for through-hole PCB applications requiring 6VA laminated core transformation at 115V primary input.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 164F56 be used as a direct replacement for the F56-110 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 164F56 meets all electrical specifications (6VA, 115V primary, 28V/56V secondary, 220mA/110mA output), mechanical dimensions (41.28mm x 33.32mm x 33.32mm), mounting type (through-hole), and termination style (PC pin) of the F56-110. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The F56-110 is supplied in Box packaging, while the 164F56 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the isolation voltage specification, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both the F56-110 and 164F56 provide 2500Vrms isolation voltage. This specification is identical across both parts.

Q: Are both parts suitable for Class 2/3 applications?

A: The F56-110 is specified for Class 2/3 applications as part of the Split Pack™ series. The 164F56 shares identical electrical and safety specifications, making it suitable for equivalent Class 2/3 applications.

Q: What is the weight specification for these transformers?

A: Both the F56-110 and 164F56 weigh 0.44 lb (199.58 g).

Q: Can these parts be used in parallel or series secondary configurations?

A: Yes. Both parts feature dual secondary windings that support parallel configuration (28V at 220mA) and series configuration (56V at 110mA).
