TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 2EDL4C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 2EDL4C is a Power Entry Connector Receptacle module featuring IEC 320-C14 configuration with integrated EMI/RFI filtering for commercial applications. This component functions as a panel-mount, snap-in power inlet with male blade termination, voltage selector, and fuse holder accommodation. The 2EDL4C is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components that maintain functional and electrical compatibility for new designs and legacy system replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2EDL4C is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14 (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module (mandatory match)
• Number of Positions: 3 (mandatory match)
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount configuration (mandatory match)
• Termination: Quick Connect technology (mandatory match)
• Fuse Holder: Accommodation required (mandatory match)
• Features: Voltage Selector (mandatory match)

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: Substitute must equal or exceed 2A
• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: Substitute must support 120/250VAC or equivalent
• Panel Thickness Accommodation: Substitute must support 0.031" ~ 0.126" range
• Approval Agencies: Substitute must include UL and CSA certifications

The three substitute parts identified (FN370-2-21, PE712003, PE773006) satisfy all primary compatibility criteria and maintain functional equivalence for the 2EDL4C application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FN370-2-21 (Schaffner EMC Inc.)

The FN370-2-21 is an active product offering enhanced current filtering capacity at 10A compared to the 2EDL4C baseline of 2A. This substitute maintains all primary compatibility criteria including IEC 320-C14 configuration, snap-in panel mounting, and commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. The component holds UL, CSA, and VDE certifications with ROHS3 compliance. The higher filter current rating provides design margin for applications requiring increased power delivery. Panel thickness accommodation matches the original specification. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where filter performance headroom is beneficial.

PE712003 (Curtis Industries)

The PE712003 is an active product with current and voltage ratings of 3A and 250VAC respectively, representing a moderate increase over the 2EDL4C specification. This substitute maintains identical connector style, receptacle configuration, and three-position design. Quick Connect termination at 0.110" (2.8mm) matches the original specification precisely. Panel thickness accommodation of 0.031" ~ 0.125" is functionally equivalent to the original. UL, CSA, and VDE certifications are present with ROHS3 compliance. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications operating at or below 250VAC single-phase.

PE773006 (Curtis Industries)

The PE773006 is an active product with the highest current rating among substitutes at 6A with 250VAC voltage rating. This component maintains IEC 320-C14 connector style and receptacle configuration with three positions. The primary distinction is the flange mounting type rather than snap-in configuration, requiring evaluation of mechanical panel integration requirements. Quick Connect termination at 0.110" (2.8mm) is identical to the original. UL, CSA, and VDE certifications are present with ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this substitute requires confirmation that flange mounting is compatible with the target application's panel design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN370-2-21 be used as a direct replacement for the 2EDL4C?

A: The FN370-2-21 satisfies all primary compatibility criteria for the 2EDL4C including IEC 320-C14 connector style, receptacle male blade configuration, three-position design, commercial EMI/RFI filtering, snap-in panel mounting, and voltage selector functionality. The higher filter current rating of 10A exceeds the original 2A specification, providing additional filtering capacity. Panel thickness accommodation is identical. Direct substitution is supported from a functional and electrical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between the PE712003 and PE773006?

A: Both Curtis Industries components maintain the same connector style, receptacle configuration, and three-position design as the 2EDL4C. The PE712003 features snap-in panel mounting with 3A current rating, while the PE773006 features flange panel mounting with 6A current rating. The mounting type difference is the primary mechanical distinction. Both include voltage selector functionality and fuse holder accommodation. Selection between these two depends on the target application's panel mounting requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All three substitute parts (FN370-2-21, PE712003, PE773006) are ROHS3 compliant, exceeding the RoHS compliance status of the original 2EDL4C. This ensures compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same panel cutout dimensions as the 2EDL4C?

A: The 2EDL4C specifies rectangular panel cutout dimensions of 28.50mm x 55.91mm. The PE773006 matches this specification exactly. The FN370-2-21 and PE712003 specify variable panel cutout dimensions, requiring verification against specific application requirements. Panel thickness accommodation of 0.031" ~ 0.126" is maintained across all substitutes with minor tolerance variations.

Q: What certifications are required for the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain UL, CSA, and VDE certifications present in the original 2EDL4C. The PE712003 and PE773006 additionally include CE and TUV certifications. These certifications ensure compliance with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards for AC power connector applications.

Q: Can the PE773006 be used in applications requiring snap-in mounting?

A: The PE773006 features flange panel mounting rather than snap-in configuration. Applications requiring snap-in mounting should select either the FN370-2-21 or PE712003, both of which maintain the snap-in mounting type of the original 2EDL4C.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage selector feature across all parts?

A: The voltage selector feature is present in the 2EDL4C and all three substitute parts. This feature allows the connector module to accommodate different voltage configurations, supporting applications operating at 120VAC, 250VAC, or dual-voltage operation as required by the end application.
