Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FD6-36 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Identical power rating (30VA)
• Matching primary voltage configuration (115V/230V dual winding)
• Matching secondary voltage (36V)
• Matching output current capacity (850mA)
• Identical secondary winding configuration (single winding with center tap)
• Equivalent isolation voltage rating (2500VAC minimum)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Chassis mount mounting type
• Compatible termination style (Solder and Quick Connect)
• Physical dimensions within acceptable tolerance for board layout
• Laminated core construction

Compliance Equivalence Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• REACH Unaffected status
• Active product status

The substitute part DP-241-6-36 (Signal Transformer) meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria for direct substitution with the FD6-36.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DP-241-6-36 be used as a direct replacement for the FD6-36 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The DP-241-6-36 meets all electrical specifications (30VA, 115V/230V primary, 36V secondary, 850mA output, center tap configuration) and mechanical requirements (chassis mount, compatible termination, equivalent dimensions). Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerance. The FD6-36 measures 82.55mm L x 42.85mm W x 49.20mm H (max seated height). The DP-241-6-36 measures 82.60mm L x 44.30mm W x 49.80mm H (max seated height). These differences do not affect chassis mount compatibility or board layout integration.

Q: Do both parts support the same termination options?

A: Yes. Both the FD6-36 and DP-241-6-36 feature Solder and Quick Connect termination styles. The FD6-36 specifies 0.187" (4.7mm) quick connect terminals, and the DP-241-6-36 maintains compatible quick connect dimensions.

Q: What is the isolation voltage rating for each part?

A: Both parts provide 2500V isolation. The FD6-36 specifies 2500VAC, and the DP-241-6-36 specifies 2500Vrms. These ratings are equivalent for isolation performance.

Q: Are both parts currently in active production?

A: Yes. Both the FD6-36 and DP-241-6-36 maintain Active product status. The FD6-36 has 913 pieces in stock, and the DP-241-6-36 has 1110 pieces in stock, supporting immediate procurement.

Q: Do both parts comply with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
