Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FN2080-10-06 from Schaffner EMC Inc. qualifies as a substitute 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 for 10 A continuous current
• Voltage Compatibility: Both support 250VAC; the FN2080-10-06 operates at 110V (versus 115V for the 10DSCG5), which falls within acceptable tolerance for AC line voltage applications
• Frequency Range: The FN2080-10-06 supports DC ~ 400Hz, which encompasses the 50/60Hz operating range of the 10DSCG5
• Mechanical Interface: Both feature chassis mount configuration with quick-connect termination
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and hold relevant safety certifications (CSA, UR)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 10DSCG5 and FN2080-10-06 maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Voltage Specification: The 10DSCG5 is rated at 115V nominal; the FN2080-10-06 is rated at 110V nominal. Both are suitable for standard North American 120V line applications where 110V and 115V represent acceptable operating points.
• Frequency Coverage: The FN2080-10-06 provides extended frequency support (DC ~ 400Hz) compared to the 10DSCG5 (50/60Hz only), offering broader application flexibility.
• Regulatory Certifications: The 10DSCG5 holds VDE certification in addition to CSA and UR; the FN2080-10-06 holds ENEC certification. Both meet primary safety requirements for their respective markets.
• Packaging Format: The 10DSCG5 is supplied in box packaging; the FN2080-10-06 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory management and assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2080-10-06 directly replace the 10DSCG5 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application operates within the specified voltage and frequency parameters. The 110V rating of the FN2080-10-06 is compatible with standard 120VAC line supplies where the 10DSCG5's 115V rating is also acceptable. Both filters maintain identical current capacity, mounting configuration, and termination style.

Q: What is the significance of the frequency range difference?

A: The 10DSCG5 is specified for 50/60Hz operation, covering standard industrial and commercial power frequencies. The FN2080-10-06 supports DC ~ 400Hz, which includes the 50/60Hz range plus extended frequency coverage for applications involving variable frequency drives or other non-standard frequency sources. For standard 50/60Hz applications, both are equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in filtering performance between these two parts?

A: The inductance values differ: the 10DSCG5 specifies L1 at 40mH and L2 at 1.2mH, while the FN2080-10-06 specifies 4.5mH total inductance. These represent different filter designs from different manufacturers. Selection should be based on the specific EMI/EMC attenuation requirements of the application.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (box versus tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The choice between box and tray packaging is determined by supply chain logistics, inventory management systems, and assembly line handling requirements.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 10DSCG5 and FN2080-10-06 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both hold active product status with current manufacturer support and relevant safety certifications (CSA, UR for both; VDE for 10DSCG5; ENEC for FN2080-10-06).
