TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 15DCF10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 15DCF10 is a DC EMC/EMI line filter rated for 80V DC at 15A with single-stage configuration and chassis mount termination. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing procurement and system integration. The 15DCF10 features threaded post (8-32) termination and operates across a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C, serving general-purpose filtering applications with CSA, TUV, and UR approvals.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 15DCF10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Filter Type: DC
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Voltage - Rated DC: 80V
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Threaded Post (8-32)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Current Rating Consideration: The substitute part FD00DD025 is rated for 25A, which exceeds the original 15A specification. This higher current rating is compatible with applications designed for the 15DCF10, as the substitute can handle the same or greater load requirements without derating.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity. Approval agencies differ slightly (FD00DD025 carries cUR, TUV, UR versus the original CSA, TUV, UR), with TUV and UR present in both certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Curtis Industries FD00DD025 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 15DCF10 based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components share identical DC voltage rating (80V), single-stage configuration, chassis mount design, and threaded post (8-32) termination. The FD00DD025 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The elevated current rating of 25A in the FD00DD025 compared to the 15A specification of the 15DCF10 presents no compatibility constraint for applications originally designed around the 15DCF10. The substitute component operates within the same voltage and mechanical envelope, with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status preserved.

Approval certifications differ marginally: the FD00DD025 carries cUR, TUV, and UR designations, while the original includes CSA, TUV, and UR. Both certifications include TUV and UR, providing continuity in recognized safety standards. The active product status of the FD00DD025 ensures long-term procurement viability for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FD00DD025 directly replace the 15DCF10 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical DC voltage rating (80V), single-stage filter configuration, chassis mount design, and threaded post (8-32) termination. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the higher 25A current rating on the FD00DD025?

A: The FD00DD025 is rated for 25A versus the 15DCF10's 15A specification. This higher rating indicates greater current-handling capacity and does not create incompatibility. Applications designed for 15A operation function within the FD00DD025's rated envelope without derating or performance degradation.

Q: Are the approval certifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: Both components carry TUV and UR certifications. The 15DCF10 includes CSA approval, while the FD00DD025 includes cUR approval. TUV and UR certifications are present in both, ensuring continuity in recognized safety standards for most applications. Specific regulatory requirements should be evaluated based on end-use jurisdiction.

Q: Why is the 15DCF10 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters. The FD00DD025 from Curtis Industries provides functional and mechanical equivalence with active product status, ensuring ongoing availability for procurement and system integration.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 15DCF10 is specified with "-" packaging notation, while the FD00DD025 is packaged in boxes. Both are chassis mount components with identical termination style, so packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance standards apply to both parts?

A: Both the 15DCF10 and FD00DD025 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These designations ensure environmental and regulatory compliance across major markets and applications requiring restricted substance adherence.
