06ERM1 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 06ERM1 is a power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Curtis Industries, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This component features male blades, filtered EMI/RFI protection, and quick connect termination rated for 6A at 250VAC. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The F1399CA06 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 06ERM1 based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Both parts conform to IEC 320-C14 standard with receptacle, male blade configuration
• Electrical Ratings: Identical current (6A) and voltage (250VAC) specifications for appliance inlet and filter
• Position Count: Both feature 3-position design
• Filtering: Both incorporate filtered EMI/RFI protection at commercial grade
• Termination: Both use quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination
• Panel Mount Configuration: Both are panel mount variants with rectangular cutout dimensions

The primary difference lies in mounting implementation: the 06ERM1 uses flange mounting, while the F1399CA06 employs screw hole mounting. This distinction affects panel integration but does not impact electrical compatibility or functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The F1399CA06 serves as the active production equivalent for the obsolete 06ERM1. Selection between these parts depends on panel mounting requirements:

Use F1399CA06 when:

• New designs require active product status and ongoing manufacturer support
• RoHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements
• Screw hole mounting is compatible with panel assembly procedures
• Panel cutout dimensions of 30.50mm x 22.90mm accommodate mechanical constraints
• Extended regulatory certifications (CE, TUV) are required beyond the original UL/CSA/VDE approvals

Retain 06ERM1 when:

• Existing equipment uses flange mounting and panel cutout dimensions of 32.98mm x 23.11mm
• RoHS compliance is not a design requirement
• Original certification scope (CSA, UL, VDE) satisfies regulatory obligations

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, filtering characteristics, and termination specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within their respective mounting constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can F1399CA06 directly replace 06ERM1 in existing equipment?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is complete. Physical installation requires panel cutout modification from 32.98mm x 23.11mm to 30.50mm x 22.90mm and conversion from flange to screw hole mounting. Assess panel modification feasibility before implementation.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Mounting method (flange vs. screw hole), panel cutout dimensions, product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance level, and regulatory certifications differ. Electrical ratings, connector style, filtering, and termination are identical.

Q: Does the F1399CA06 maintain the same filtering performance?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical filtered EMI/RFI protection at commercial grade with 6A current rating through the filter stage.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 06ERM1 packaging is unspecified. The F1399CA06 is supplied in box packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Which certifications apply to each part?

A: The 06ERM1 holds CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The F1399CA06 holds CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals, providing broader regulatory coverage for international applications.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in substitution?

A: The 06ERM1 is RoHS non-compliant; the F1399CA06 is ROHS3 compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, the F1399CA06 is the appropriate selection.
