Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 1609016-7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 3A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: 120/250VAC or equivalent range
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL, VDE certifications

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring functional equivalence in AC power connector applications. Variations in termination type, panel cutout dimensions, and material specifications are noted where they differ from the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Qualtek 858-03/006: This substitute maintains full electrical compatibility with the main part, including identical current and filter ratings, voltage range, and all required certifications (CSA, UL, VDE). The part is currently active in production. The primary distinction is the absence of right angle orientation in the mounting configuration. This part is suitable for applications where the connector orientation does not require the right angle feature of the original design.

Schaffner EMC Inc. FN9226-3-06: This substitute provides equivalent electrical performance with identical filter current rating and maintains the right angle mounting orientation of the original part. The part holds active product status with expanded certification coverage (ENEC, SEMKO in addition to CSA, UL). The termination differs from the original wire leads, utilizing Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals instead. This part is appropriate for applications where quick-connect termination is compatible with the circuit design. The material flammability rating (UL94 V-2) and IP40 ingress protection are specified for this part.

Both substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 858-03/006 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1609016-7 in all applications?

A: The Qualtek 858-03/006 provides electrical equivalence across current, voltage, and filtering specifications. The primary difference is the absence of right angle mounting orientation. Direct replacement is suitable for panel mount applications where the connector orientation does not require the right angle feature.

Q: What is the key difference between the Schaffner EMC FN9226-3-06 and the original part?

A: The Schaffner EMC FN9226-3-06 maintains the right angle mounting orientation and electrical specifications of the original part. The termination method differs: the original uses wire leads while the substitute uses Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals. Circuit design must accommodate this termination difference.

Q: Are all substitute parts certified to the same standards as the original?

A: All substitute parts hold CSA and UL certifications matching the original. The Schaffner EMC FN9226-3-06 includes additional certifications (ENEC, SEMKO). The Qualtek 858-03/006 includes VDE certification matching the original specification.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between the main part and Qualtek substitute?

A: The main part specifies 120/250VAC while the Qualtek substitute specifies 115/250VAC. Both ratings cover standard North American and international AC power applications. The 5V difference at the lower end does not affect functional compatibility in typical AC power entry applications.

Q: Does the panel cutout dimension difference affect substitution?

A: Panel cutout dimensions differ between parts: the original specifies 30.48mm x 22.86mm, while the Schaffner EMC substitute specifies 34.40mm x 22.60mm. Physical panel modifications may be required if using the Schaffner EMC part in existing panel designs. The Qualtek part does not specify panel cutout dimensions.

Q: What does the IP40 ingress protection rating on the Schaffner EMC part indicate?

A: IP40 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and no protection against liquid ingress. This specification is provided for the Schaffner EMC part but not specified for the original or Qualtek substitute.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for new design implementations?

A: Both substitute parts hold active product status, making them suitable for new designs. The Schaffner EMC FN9226-3-06 is recommended for designs requiring right angle orientation and quick-connect termination. The Qualtek 858-03/006 is suitable for standard panel mount applications with wire lead termination requirements.
