Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2080-3-06 qualifies as a substitute for the Delta Electronics 03DVCG5 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Filter Type & Configuration: Both are single-phase, two-stage EMC/EMI line filters
• Current Rating: Both rated at 3A
• Voltage Compatibility: Both support 250VAC; the FN2080-3-06 operates at 110V/250VAC versus 115V/250VAC (within acceptable tolerance for AC line voltage applications)
• Mounting & Termination: Both feature chassis mount with quick-connect termination
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Frequency Operation: FN2080-3-06 supports DC ~ 400Hz, which encompasses the 50/60Hz requirement

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 03DVCG5 and FN2080-3-06 maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance. The FN2080-3-06 provides equivalent electrical performance with broader frequency support (DC ~ 400Hz versus 50/60Hz) and extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C). Approval certifications differ slightly; the FN2080-3-06 includes ENEC certification while the 03DVCG5 includes VDE certification. Both carry CSA and UR approvals. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements, available inventory, and regional certification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2080-3-06 replace the 03DVCG5 in a 115VAC application?

A: The FN2080-3-06 is rated for 110VAC/250VAC operation. In applications requiring 115VAC, the 110V rating represents a 4.4% deviation from nominal. Both parts are designed for general-purpose line filtering at these voltage levels with equivalent current capacity and filtering stages.

Q: What is the difference in inductance between these filters?

A: The 03DVCG5 specifies L1 at 1mH and L2 at 30mH. The FN2080-3-06 specifies total inductance at 9.8mH. These represent different measurement methodologies or stage configurations but both are two-stage filters meeting the same current and voltage requirements.

Q: Are the quick-connect terminations compatible between these parts?

A: Both parts feature quick-connect termination and chassis mount configuration. Physical compatibility should be verified against specific connector specifications and mounting hole patterns for the target application.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 03DVCG5 and FN2080-3-06 hold CSA and UR approvals. The 03DVCG5 additionally carries VDE certification; the FN2080-3-06 carries ENEC certification. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Does the broader frequency range of the FN2080-3-06 affect substitution suitability?

A: The FN2080-3-06 operates across DC ~ 400Hz, which fully encompasses the 50/60Hz requirement of the 03DVCG5. The extended frequency range does not limit substitution for standard 50/60Hz applications.
