VPS230-350 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The VPS230-350 is a laminated core power transformer manufactured by Triad Magnetics, rated for 80VA maximum power with dual primary and secondary windings. This chassis mount transformer operates at 115V or 230V primary voltage with corresponding secondary configurations, delivering up to 700mA in parallel mode or 350mA in series mode. The component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or supply chain considerations necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VPS230-350 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Identical power rating: 80VA maximum
• Matching primary voltage options: 115V and 230V
• Matching secondary voltage configuration: Parallel 115V, Series 230V
• Identical output current specifications: Parallel 700mA, Series 350mA
• Equivalent core type: Laminated
• Matching winding configuration: Dual primary, dual secondary
• Identical isolation voltage: 4000Vrms

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Chassis mount mounting type
• Compatible termination styles: Solder and Quick Connect
• Footprint compatibility within specified dimensions
• Height compatibility for seated installation

Compliance Equivalence Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• REACH unaffected designation
• Active product status

The substitute part A41-80-230 manufactured by Signal Transformer meets all electrical and compliance criteria. Mechanical dimensions show minor width variation (64.30mm versus 58.67mm) while maintaining identical length and height specifications, with equivalent weight classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

VPS230-350 (Triad Magnetics) is the primary specification component with 738 units in current inventory. This part maintains active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, supporting long-term supply chain stability.

A41-80-230 (Signal Transformer) qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute with 1169 units in inventory. This part demonstrates equivalent performance across all critical electrical parameters, identical compliance certifications, and compatible mechanical specifications. The width dimension variation of 5.63mm falls within acceptable tolerance for chassis mount applications where the primary constraint is the 63.50mm length and 76.20mm height specifications. Both components feature identical termination options (Solder and Quick Connect) and equivalent weight classification.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time requirements, and supply chain considerations. Both components satisfy identical electrical performance requirements and regulatory compliance obligations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can A41-80-230 be used as a direct replacement for VPS230-350 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both transformers deliver identical electrical performance: 80VA power rating, dual 115V/230V primary and secondary windings, 700mA parallel or 350mA series output current, and 4000Vrms isolation voltage. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through equivalent length (63.50mm), height (76.20mm), and weight (2.8 lbs). The width variation (64.30mm versus 58.67mm) is a 5.63mm increase that must be evaluated within specific chassis layout constraints.

Q: Are the termination styles compatible between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both VPS230-350 and A41-80-230 feature identical termination options: Solder and Quick Connect. Existing wiring harnesses and PCB layouts designed for either termination style are compatible with both transformers.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both transformers carry RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected designation. They are classified as Active products with equivalent regulatory standing for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the width dimension difference?

A: The A41-80-230 width of 64.30mm exceeds the VPS230-350 width of 58.67mm by 5.63mm. This variation must be evaluated against available chassis space. The critical mounting dimensions—length (63.50mm) and height (76.20mm)—are identical across both parts. Designers must confirm that the increased width does not conflict with adjacent components or enclosure constraints.

Q: Are both transformers suitable for the same voltage input configurations?

A: Yes. Both transformers accept identical primary voltage inputs (115V or 230V) and deliver matching secondary voltage outputs in parallel (115V) or series (230V) configurations. Output current capacity is identical: 700mA maximum in parallel mode and 350mA maximum in series mode.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: VPS230-350 has 738 units in stock, while A41-80-230 has 1169 units available. Both maintain active product status. Substitute selection may be driven by immediate availability or lead time optimization within supply chain planning.
