VPS20-6500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VPS20-6500 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Triad Magnetics, rated at 130VA with dual primary and secondary windings. This chassis mount transformer is designed for applications requiring flexible voltage configurations through series and parallel winding connections. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and 4000Vrms isolation rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance are maintained across alternative manufacturers or packaging configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VPS20-6500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Power rating: 130VA
• Primary voltage options: 115V and 230V
• Secondary voltage configurations: Parallel 10V and Series 20V
• Output current capacity: Parallel 13A and Series 6.5A
• Isolation voltage: 4000Vrms
• Dual primary and dual secondary windings
• Laminated core construction

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Chassis mount mounting type
• Solder and quick connect termination capability
• Physical dimensions within tolerance for board-level integration

Regulatory Compliance Requirements:

• ROHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• EAR99 classification

The identified substitutes maintain all electrical specifications and regulatory certifications. Packaging differences (Box versus Bulk) do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VPS20-6500-B (Triad Magnetics): This substitute is identical to the main part in all electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Box). Selection of this part is appropriate when bulk packaging aligns with procurement and inventory management requirements. Both parts maintain active production status and full ROHS3 compliance.

A41-130-20 (Signal Transformer): This substitute maintains electrical equivalence across all critical parameters including power rating, voltage configurations, current capacity, and isolation voltage. Physical dimensions show minor variations: width is 76.20mm compared to 68.33mm in the VPS20-6500, and length is 71.40mm versus 71.37mm. These dimensional differences are within typical manufacturing tolerances for chassis mount transformers. The A41-130-20 is produced under Signal Transformer's All-4-One™ series and carries identical regulatory compliance certifications. Selection of this part is appropriate when cross-manufacturer sourcing is required for supply chain continuity or when the slightly larger width dimension accommodates board layout requirements.

All three parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability and meet the same regulatory and compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VPS20-6500-B be used as a direct replacement for VPS20-6500?

A: Yes. VPS20-6500-B is electrically and mechanically identical to VPS20-6500. The only difference is packaging format. Both parts have identical electrical specifications, dimensions, weight, and regulatory compliance. Selection between them depends on procurement packaging requirements.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between VPS20-6500 and A41-130-20?

A: The A41-130-20 has a width of 76.20mm compared to 68.33mm for the VPS20-6500. Length differs by 0.03mm (71.40mm versus 71.37mm). Height is 85.70mm versus 85.85mm. These variations are within standard manufacturing tolerances for laminated core transformers. Verify board layout clearances before selection.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. VPS20-6500, VPS20-6500-B, and A41-130-20 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All three carry identical regulatory certifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts support both series and parallel winding configurations?

A: Yes. All three parts feature dual primary and dual secondary windings, enabling both series (20V, 6.5A) and parallel (10V, 13A) output configurations.

Q: What is the isolation voltage rating for these transformers?

A: All three parts provide 4000Vrms isolation voltage between primary and secondary windings.

Q: Can the A41-130-20 be used in applications where space is constrained?

A: The A41-130-20 has a slightly larger width (76.20mm) compared to the VPS20-6500 (68.33mm). Verify available board space before selection. Height and length differences are minimal and typically not limiting factors.

Q: Are termination styles identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. VPS20-6500, VPS20-6500-B, and A41-130-20 all support both solder and quick connect termination styles.
