TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 15EHT6 LINE FILTER 250VAC 15A CHASSIS

Part Overview

The 15EHT6 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 15A, designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering. This chassis-mounted filter operates at 50/60Hz with a single-stage configuration and threaded post termination (8-32). The product maintains active status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation. Alternative models may be required when application parameters such as voltage rating, current capacity, frequency range, or mounting configuration differ from the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 15EHT6 with alternative models is determined by compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Voltage Rating: The main part operates at 250VAC. Substitute parts must support the required voltage or higher.

Current Capacity: The main part is rated for 15A. Substitute parts must support the required current or higher.

Frequency Range: The main part operates at 50/60Hz. Substitute parts must support this frequency range.

Mounting Configuration: The main part uses chassis mount with threaded post (8-32) termination. Substitute parts must accommodate the same or compatible mounting method.

Filter Stage Configuration: The main part uses single-stage filtering. Substitute parts with different stage configurations may alter filtering characteristics.

Compliance and Certifications: The main part holds CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. Substitute parts should maintain equivalent or superior compliance certifications for the target application.

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2080B-16-08 is identified as a substitute based on shared single-phase filter type, chassis mount configuration, general-purpose application category, and active product status. However, differences in voltage range, current capacity, frequency operating range, stage configuration, and termination style must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Voltage and Current Compatibility: The FN2080B-16-08 supports 250VAC operation and provides 16A capacity, exceeding the 15A requirement of the main part. Both parts are rated for 250VAC operation.

Frequency Operating Range: The FN2080B-16-08 operates across DC ~ 400Hz, which encompasses the 50/60Hz requirement of the main part. This extended frequency range provides broader application compatibility.

Configuration Differences: The FN2080B-16-08 employs a two-stage configuration compared to the single-stage design of the 15EHT6. Two-stage filtering provides enhanced attenuation characteristics but may introduce different impedance and inductance profiles. The FN2080B-16-08 exhibits lower inductance (2.8mH versus 5.07mH).

Termination and Mounting: Both parts use threaded post termination but with different thread specifications (8-32 versus M4). Physical board layout and connector compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Temperature Operating Range: The FN2080B-16-08 supports -25°C ~ 100°C operation, providing extended thermal capability compared to the -10°C ~ 40°C range of the main part.

Compliance Certifications: Both parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and active product status. The main part holds CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The substitute holds CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. Application-specific regulatory requirements determine certification adequacy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2080B-16-08 directly replace the 15EHT6 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of termination compatibility. The FN2080B-16-08 uses M4 threaded posts while the 15EHT6 uses 8-32 threaded posts. Physical mounting and connector interfaces must be confirmed compatible with the target application before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the two-stage versus single-stage configuration difference?

A: Configuration differences affect filtering performance characteristics. The two-stage FN2080B-16-08 provides enhanced attenuation across its operating frequency range but exhibits different inductance (2.8mH) compared to the single-stage 15EHT6 (5.07mH). Application-specific EMI/EMC requirements determine whether this difference is acceptable.

Q: Are both parts suitable for 250VAC 50/60Hz applications?

A: Yes. The 15EHT6 is rated for 250VAC 50/60Hz. The FN2080B-16-08 supports 250VAC operation and operates across DC ~ 400Hz, which includes 50/60Hz. Both parts are suitable for this voltage and frequency combination.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 15EHT6 holds CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The FN2080B-16-08 holds CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. Both maintain RoHS3 compliance. Application-specific regulatory requirements determine which certification set is required.

Q: How do the current ratings compare?

A: The 15EHT6 is rated for 15A. The FN2080B-16-08 is rated for 16A. The substitute provides 1A additional capacity, suitable for applications requiring the original 15A specification.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 15EHT6 is supplied in bulk packaging. The FN2080B-16-08 is supplied in tray packaging. Procurement and inventory management processes may differ accordingly.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges compatible?

A: The 15EHT6 operates from -10°C ~ 40°C. The FN2080B-16-08 operates from -25°C ~ 100°C. The substitute provides extended thermal operating range, suitable for applications requiring broader temperature capability.
