LINE FILTER 03DWCG5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Delta Electronics 03DWCG5 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 115V/250VAC at 3A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mount filter features two-stage configuration with quick-connect termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and extensive approval certifications including CSA, UR, and VDE. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 03DWCG5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Filter Type & Configuration: Single-phase, two-stage topology required
• Current Rating: 3A minimum
• Voltage Rating: Must support 250VAC operation (primary operating voltage)
• Mounting & Termination: Chassis mount with quick-connect interface
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 100°C
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliant, active product status

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2060-3-06 meets these substitution criteria with equivalent electrical performance across the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 03DWCG5 and FN2060-3-06 are active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The FN2060-3-06 provides broader frequency coverage (DC ~ 400Hz versus 50/60Hz) and extended regulatory approvals including CE and ENEC certification. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application frequency requirements and regional compliance mandates. The 03DWCG5 is optimized for standard 50/60Hz industrial applications, while the FN2060-3-06 accommodates variable frequency drive (VFD) and broader spectrum applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2060-3-06 replace the 03DWCG5 in all applications?

A: The FN2060-3-06 is electrically compatible for 250VAC, 3A, 50/60Hz applications. However, the 03DWCG5 supports dual voltage operation (115V/250V), while the FN2060-3-06 is rated for 250VAC only. Verify your application voltage requirement before substitution.

Q: What is the difference in frequency operating range?

A: The 03DWCG5 operates at 50/60Hz, suitable for standard AC power systems. The FN2060-3-06 operates DC ~ 400Hz, enabling use in variable frequency drive applications and broader industrial environments.

Q: Are the quick-connect terminations physically compatible?

A: Both parts feature quick-connect termination and chassis-mount configuration. Physical compatibility is maintained across the substitution pair.

Q: Which certifications apply to my region?

A: The 03DWCG5 holds CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The FN2060-3-06 holds CE, CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. Verify regional requirements; CE marking is required for European Union applications, while CSA and UR are North American standards.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 03DWCG5 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the FN2060-3-06 is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical performance.
