LINE FILTER 03DSCG5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Delta Electronics 03DSCG5 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 115V/250VAC at 3A with two-stage configuration and quick connect termination. This chassis-mount filter is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering in 50/60Hz power systems. The product maintains active status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or inventory constraints exist.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 03DSCG5 is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Filter Classification: Single-phase EMC/EMI line filter architecture
• Electrical Rating: 3A current capacity with 110V–250VAC voltage range
• Configuration: Two-stage filtering topology
• Termination Interface: Quick connect connector system
• Mounting Configuration: Chassis-mount form factor
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH status
• Frequency Compatibility: Operation within or encompassing 50/60Hz range

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2080-3-06 meets these substitution criteria through equivalent single-phase, two-stage design with matching 3A current rating, overlapping voltage specification (110V–250VAC), quick connect termination, and chassis mounting. Both parts maintain active product status and full compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 03DSCG5 and FN2080-3-06 maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance. The 03DSCG5 carries VDE approval in addition to CSA and UR certifications. The FN2080-3-06 includes ENEC certification alongside CSA and UR approvals. Selection between these parts should be based on specific regional certification requirements and application approval agency mandates. The FN2080-3-06 operates across a broader frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) compared to the 03DSCG5 (50/60Hz), providing extended operational flexibility in variable-frequency applications. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2080-3-06 directly replace the 03DSCG5 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the application approval agency requirements align with the FN2080-3-06 certification set (CSA, ENEC, UR). The electrical ratings, mounting configuration, and termination interface are equivalent. Verify that regional compliance requirements do not mandate VDE certification specifically.

Q: What is the voltage compatibility between these parts?

A: The 03DSCG5 is rated 115V/250VAC, while the FN2080-3-06 is rated 110V/250VAC. Both operate within overlapping voltage ranges suitable for standard single-phase AC power systems. The 110V rating of the FN2080-3-06 encompasses the 115V specification of the 03DSCG5.

Q: How do the frequency specifications differ?

A: The 03DSCG5 operates at 50/60Hz, standard for industrial and commercial AC power systems. The FN2080-3-06 operates across DC ~ 400Hz, enabling use in variable-frequency drive (VFD) and adjustable-speed applications. For fixed 50/60Hz applications, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?

A: The 03DSCG5 is supplied in box packaging, while the FN2080-3-06 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on inventory handling and logistics requirements.

Q: What inductance values are specified for these filters?

A: The 03DSCG5 specifies L1 at 30mH and L2 at 1mH. The FN2080-3-06 specifies total inductance at 9.8mH. Both configurations provide two-stage filtering; inductance values reflect design differences between manufacturers but do not preclude substitution when electrical performance requirements are met.
