SCHURTER 0040.5015 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 0040.5015 is a power entry connector receptacle module designed for IEC 320-C18 panel mount applications. This component functions as a male blade receptacle with integrated fuse holder capability, rated for 10A at 250VAC in commercial unfiltered configurations. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent models to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 0040.5015 is constrained by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent models:

• Current Rating: 10A minimum
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC minimum
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module configuration
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.189" (4.8mm)
• Fuse Holder: Integrated fuse holder capability
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0
• Ingress Protection: IP40 minimum

The identified substitute parts (4301.0501 and 4707.2100) maintain electrical compatibility through matching current and voltage ratings, identical termination specifications, and equivalent mechanical mounting interfaces. Both substitutes are active products from SCHURTER Inc., ensuring long-term availability and design support. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes involves connector style (IEC 320-C14 versus IEC 320-C18) and panel cutout dimensions, which represent mechanical interface changes requiring design validation during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts (4301.0501 and 4707.2100) are active products with established manufacturing support and regulatory compliance. Selection between these alternatives depends on mechanical integration requirements:

4301.0501 (KEA Series) provides a rectangular panel cutout (27.50mm x 31.50mm) and holds active status with expanded approval agency certifications including CCC, CSA, ENEC, and UL. This part is suitable for applications where panel cutout geometry can be modified to accommodate the rectangular interface.

4707.2100 (4707 Series) offers variable-size panel cutout capability with front or rear side mount flexibility, certified by cULus and ENEC. This configuration provides greater mechanical design flexibility for retrofit applications or designs requiring mounting orientation options.

Both parts maintain electrical equivalence through identical current ratings (10A), voltage ratings (250VAC), termination specifications (Quick Connect - 0.189"), and fuse holder integration. Regulatory compliance is established through RoHS3 and REACH certifications on both substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4301.0501 or 4707.2100 directly replace the 0040.5015 without design modifications?

A: Electrical compatibility is established through matching current and voltage ratings, termination type, and fuse holder capability. However, mechanical integration requires panel cutout modification. The 0040.5015 specifies a square 33.30mm x 33.30mm cutout, while 4301.0501 requires a rectangular 27.50mm x 31.50mm cutout, and 4707.2100 accommodates variable-size cutouts. Panel redesign is necessary for physical installation.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Current rating (10A minimum), voltage rating (250VAC minimum), connector type (Receptacle, Male Blades - Module), termination specification (Quick Connect - 0.189"), and fuse holder integration are the primary electrical criteria. All identified substitutes meet these requirements.

Q: Are there differences in regulatory approvals between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 0040.5015 holds CSA and UL approvals. Substitute 4301.0501 expands approvals to include CCC, ENEC in addition to CSA and UL. Substitute 4707.2100 holds cULus and ENEC certifications. Design validation should confirm that the selected substitute's approval portfolio meets application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the connector style difference (IEC 320-C18 versus IEC 320-C14)?

A: IEC 320-C18 and IEC 320-C14 represent different standardized connector geometries. The 0040.5015 uses IEC 320-C18, while both substitutes use IEC 320-C14. This difference affects physical mating interface and panel cutout dimensions. Mechanical compatibility with mating connectors must be evaluated during design integration.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 0040.5015 and both substitutes (4301.0501 and 4707.2100) are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The 0040.5015 (obsolete) has 985 pieces in stock. Substitute 4301.0501 has 2021 pieces available, and 4707.2100 has 966 pieces in stock, ensuring procurement availability for both alternatives.
