LINE FILTER 250VAC 30A CHASSIS - 30EK66 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Curtis Industries 30EK66 is a single phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 30A with 50/60Hz operation. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The 30EK66 features quick connect termination and chassis mount configuration for general purpose applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Curtis Industries F1299DD30 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 30EK66 based on the following critical parameters:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC (identical)
• Current capacity: 30A (identical)
• Operating frequency: 50/60Hz (identical)
• Filter type: Single phase (identical)
• Configuration: Single stage (identical)
• Mounting: Chassis mount (identical)
• Approval certifications: CSA, UR, VDE (identical)
• Application category: General purpose (identical)

The primary difference between these parts is the termination style: the 30EK66 uses quick connect termination, while the F1299DD30 uses threaded post (8-32) termination. This distinction affects mechanical integration but does not impact electrical performance or filtering characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The F1299DD30 is the direct electrical and mechanical equivalent for the obsolete 30EK66. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications across voltage, current, frequency, and filtering characteristics. The F1299DD30 offers the additional advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and systems requiring current regulatory compliance.

Selection of the F1299DD30 requires accommodation of the termination style change from quick connect to threaded post (8-32). This modification affects only the mechanical connection interface and does not alter the filter's electrical performance or compatibility with 250VAC 30A single phase applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the F1299DD30 directly replace the 30EK66 without circuit modifications?

A: The F1299DD30 provides identical electrical performance. Mechanical integration requires adaptation of the connection interface from quick connect to threaded post (8-32) termination.

Q: Are the electrical filtering characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are single stage, single phase EMC/EMI line filters with identical voltage, current, and frequency ratings. Filtering performance is equivalent.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the 30EK66 and F1299DD30 carry CSA, UR, and VDE approvals, meeting the same regulatory standards for general purpose applications.

Q: Does the F1299DD30 meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The F1299DD30 is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the obsolete 30EK66 is RoHS non-compliant. This makes the F1299DD30 suitable for applications requiring current environmental compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 30EK66 is supplied with dash packaging, while the F1299DD30 is supplied in box packaging. This affects only storage and handling, not component performance.
