Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FS56-110 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Primary voltage ratings (115V, 230V), secondary voltage outputs in both parallel (28V) and series (56V) configurations, maximum output current ratings (220mA parallel, 110mA series), power capacity (6VA), and isolation voltage (2500Vrms) must match exactly.

Mechanical Specifications: Through-hole mounting type, PC pin termination style, physical footprint (41.28mm L × 33.32mm W), and seated height (33.32mm maximum) must be identical to ensure PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Compliance & Certifications: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are required for regulatory equivalence in applicable markets.

Core Technology: Laminated core construction must be maintained.

Winding Configuration: Dual primary and dual secondary windings without center tap are mandatory.

The Hammond Manufacturing 162F56 meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FS56-110 and 162F56 are active production components with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: FS56-110 has 989 units in stock; 162F56 has 876 units in stock. Choose based on supply chain requirements and lead time constraints.

Packaging Format: FS56-110 is supplied in box packaging; 162F56 is supplied in bulk packaging. Select according to inventory management and handling procedures.

Manufacturer Preference: FS56-110 is manufactured by Triad Magnetics (Split Pack™ series); 162F56 is manufactured by Hammond Manufacturing (162 series). Either manufacturer selection is valid from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for EU and equivalent markets.

Series Designation: FS56-110 belongs to the Split Pack™ series; 162F56 belongs to the Hammond 162 series. This distinction is organizational only and does not affect functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 162F56 be used as a direct replacement for the FS56-110 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The 162F56 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FS56-110. All voltage ratings, current capacities, winding configurations, physical dimensions, and mounting specifications are identical. No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Are the primary voltage configurations identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the FS56-110 and 162F56 support dual primary windings with 115V and 230V voltage options, enabling flexible input voltage selection through series or parallel winding connection.

Q: Do both parts support the same secondary voltage outputs?

A: Yes. Both transformers provide dual secondary windings with parallel configuration output of 28V at 220mA and series configuration output of 56V at 110mA. The winding connection method determines the output voltage and current rating.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging formats (box vs. bulk)?

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Box packaging typically provides individual component protection; bulk packaging is used for higher-volume applications. Select based on procurement and warehouse procedures.

Q: Are isolation voltage ratings equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain 2500Vrms isolation voltage, ensuring equivalent safety margins and dielectric strength for applications requiring high voltage isolation between primary and secondary circuits.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the FS56-110 and 162F56 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in applicable jurisdictions.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts are active production components from established manufacturers with equivalent electrical specifications and compliance certifications. Selection should be based on supply availability, manufacturer qualification requirements, and organizational procurement policies.

Q: What is the physical footprint compatibility?

A: Both parts have identical through-hole mounting dimensions of 41.28mm length × 33.32mm width with 33.32mm maximum seated height. PC pin termination style is identical. Direct PCB substitution is possible without layout modifications.
