Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Qualtek 864-06/005 is qualified as a direct substitute for the Delta Electronics 06EB3 based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current ratings (6A) and connector configuration (IEC 320-C14, 3-position receptacle). The Qualtek part carries a dual voltage rating (115/250VAC) compared to the Delta part's 250VAC specification, providing equivalent or superior performance in the 250VAC operating range.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts incorporate identical filtering (EMI, RFI - Commercial), switch functionality (On-Off), fuse accommodation (Twin Fused), and voltage selector features. Termination method (Quick Connect) and mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Flange) are identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.04mm (Delta: 29.00mm x 60.20mm; Qualtek: 28.96mm x 60.20mm). This variance is within standard manufacturing tolerance for panel-mount connectors and does not affect mechanical fit or function.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts carry identical regulatory approvals (CSA, UL, VDE) and maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring equivalent safety and environmental standards.

Packaging Consideration: Delta Electronics 06EB3 is supplied in Bulk packaging (953 units available), while Qualtek 864-06/005 is supplied in Tray packaging (687 units available). Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 864-06/005 be used as a direct replacement for the Delta Electronics 06EB3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical IEC 320-C14 specifications, current ratings (6A), voltage ratings (250VAC), connector configurations, and functional requirements. The 0.04mm panel cutout dimension variance is within standard manufacturing tolerance and does not affect mechanical compatibility or performance.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference (250VAC vs. 115/250VAC)?

A: The Qualtek part's dual voltage rating (115/250VAC) indicates capability across a broader input range. In applications operating at 250VAC, both parts perform identically. The Qualtek part provides additional flexibility for applications requiring 115VAC operation.

Q: Are the filtering and EMI/RFI characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts incorporate identical commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering, ensuring equivalent electromagnetic compatibility performance in the same application environment.

Q: Does the packaging difference (Bulk vs. Tray) affect part performance or compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format is a logistics consideration only and does not affect electrical, mechanical, or functional characteristics. Both packaging types deliver the same component specification.

Q: Are both parts currently in production and available for procurement?

A: Yes. The Delta Electronics 06EB3 is active with 953 units in stock. The Qualtek 864-06/005 is active with 687 units in stock. Both parts maintain active production status.

Q: What regulatory approvals apply to both substitute parts?

A: Both the Delta Electronics 06EB3 and Qualtek 864-06/005 carry identical approvals: CSA, UL, and VDE. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.
