TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 1-6609122-1 Power Entry Connector Receptacle IEC 320-C14 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 1-6609122-1 is a Power Entry Connector Receptacle with Male Blades configured as an IEC 320-C14 module for panel mount applications with flange. This component integrates filtered EMI/RFI protection, an on-off switch, and a fuse holder in a single assembly. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components that maintain functional compatibility within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1-6609122-1 is determined by the following critical parameters: IEC 320-C14 connector style, receptacle configuration with male blades, panel mount flange mounting, integrated EMI/RFI filtering, on-off switch functionality, and fuse holder accommodation. Substitute parts must maintain the same connector style and basic functional architecture.

Two substitute parts are identified based on these criteria:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (TE Connectivity): Part 1-6609104-3 maintains the same manufacturer lineage and connector style with enhanced specifications in current rating and filter capacity.

Similar Manufacturer Substitute (Curtis Industries): Part PE870206 provides equivalent IEC 320-C14 functionality from an alternative manufacturer with comparable electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Substitution compatibility is contingent upon the application's tolerance for variations in current rating, voltage rating, termination connector size, and panel cutout dimensions as detailed in the parameter comparison table.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Manufacturer Substitution: Part 1-6609104-3 is an active product from TE Connectivity Corcom Filters with enhanced current ratings (6A versus 4A) and filter capacity. This part is suitable for applications where the original 4A specification is adequate or where higher current capacity provides design margin. The termination connector differs (0.187" versus 0.110"), requiring verification of internal wiring harness compatibility. Panel cutout dimensions are variable, accommodating the original rectangular specification. Regulatory compliance includes CSA, UL, and VDE certifications, with ROHS3 compliance exceeding the original RoHS requirement.

For Alternative Manufacturer Substitution: Part PE870206 from Curtis Industries is an active product maintaining the original termination connector size (0.110") and panel cutout dimensions (28.50mm x 55.90mm), minimizing mechanical integration changes. Current rating is 6A with 250VAC voltage specification. Regulatory compliance includes CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications with ROHS3 compliance. This part is suitable for applications requiring minimal mechanical redesign.

Selection between substitutes depends on application voltage requirements, internal wiring harness connector compatibility, and regulatory jurisdiction requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-6609104-3 directly replace 1-6609122-1 without any modifications?

A: Part 1-6609104-3 maintains the same IEC 320-C14 connector style, panel mount configuration, and functional features. However, the termination connector size differs (0.187" versus 0.110"), requiring internal wiring harness compatibility assessment. Panel cutout dimensions are variable, accommodating the original specification. Voltage rating is 120VAC only, compared to the original 120/250VAC dual rating.

Q: What are the key differences between 1-6609104-3 and PE870206?

A: Both parts maintain IEC 320-C14 connector style and 6A current rating. Part 1-6609104-3 uses 0.187" termination connectors with variable panel cutout dimensions and 120VAC voltage rating. Part PE870206 uses 0.110" termination connectors matching the original part, with fixed rectangular panel cutout dimensions (28.50mm x 55.90mm) and 250VAC voltage rating. Manufacturer differences (TE Connectivity versus Curtis Industries) result in different regulatory certifications.

Q: Is PE870206 mechanically compatible with the original 1-6609122-1 panel cutout?

A: Yes. Part PE870206 specifies rectangular panel cutout dimensions of 28.50mm x 55.90mm, matching the original 1-6609122-1 specification of 28.50mm x 55.91mm within manufacturing tolerance. Termination connector size is identical (0.110" / 2.8mm).

Q: What is the significance of the current rating increase from 4A to 6A in the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts provide higher current capacity (6A) than the original part (4A). This represents an enhancement in component capability. Applications designed for 4A operation remain compatible with 6A-rated components. Applications requiring current capacity between 4A and 6A benefit from the enhanced rating.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Part 1-6609104-3 is ROHS3 compliant. Part PE870206 is ROHS3 compliant. Both exceed the original RoHS compliance requirement.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for applications requiring 250VAC operation?

A: Part PE870206 is rated for 250VAC operation. Part 1-6609104-3 is rated for 120VAC only. For applications requiring 250VAC, PE870206 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What regulatory certifications are maintained across all three parts?

A: All three parts maintain CSA and UL certifications. The original part includes SEMKO, SEV, and VDE certifications. Substitute part 1-6609104-3 includes VDE certification. Substitute part PE870206 includes CE, TUV, and UL certifications in addition to CSA.
