10ME3G Power Entry Connector Receptacle - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 10ME3G is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Delta Electronics, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This filtered power entry connector is rated for 10A at 115/250VAC and features EMI/RFI filtering for commercial applications. The part is currently active in production with 782 units in stock. Alternative models may be required due to inventory constraints, packaging preferences, or specific panel cutout dimension requirements in system designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FN9226-10-02 manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc. qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 10A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange; Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Differing Parameters:

• Panel Cutout Dimensions: 34.40mm x 22.60mm (vs. 30.50mm x 22.86mm for 10ME3G)
• Packaging: Tray (vs. Bulk for 10ME3G)
• Panel Thickness Specification: 0.224" (5.70mm) provided
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-2 specified
• Ingress Protection: IP40 specified
• Approval Agency: CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, UL (vs. CSA, TUV, UL for 10ME3G)

Substitution is valid for applications where the panel cutout dimensions can accommodate the larger opening required by FN9226-10-02.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 10ME3G and FN9226-10-02 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and regulatory approvals suitable for commercial filtered power entry applications. The 10ME3G carries CSA, TUV, and UL certifications, while the FN9226-10-02 carries CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, and UL certifications. Selection between these parts depends on panel design constraints and certification requirements specific to the target market. The FN9226-10-02 requires a larger panel cutout opening and specifies IP40 ingress protection with UL94 V-2 material flammability rating. The 10ME3G is available in bulk packaging, while the FN9226-10-02 is supplied in tray packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN9226-10-02 be used as a direct replacement for 10ME3G?

A: Functional substitution is possible if the panel cutout dimensions can be modified to accommodate the larger opening (34.40mm x 22.60mm vs. 30.50mm x 22.86mm). Both parts share identical connector style, type, filtering characteristics, and current ratings.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these parts?

A: Critical compatibility parameters are IEC 320-C14 connector style, 10A filter current rating, 3-position configuration, panel mount flange mounting, and solder termination. Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: How do the packaging formats differ?

A: The 10ME3G is supplied in bulk packaging, while the FN9226-10-02 is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Are there differences in regulatory approvals?

A: The 10ME3G carries TUV certification in addition to CSA and UL. The FN9226-10-02 carries ENEC and SEMKO certifications in addition to CSA and UL. Both meet major regulatory standards for commercial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the panel thickness specification on FN9226-10-02?

A: The FN9226-10-02 specifies a panel thickness of 0.224" (5.70mm). This parameter is provided for the substitute part but not specified for the 10ME3G. Panel thickness compatibility must be verified during design integration.
