Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3EEB1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 3A
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 3A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)

Voltage Compatibility: Substitute parts must support minimum 120/250VAC or equivalent ratings. Parts rated for 115/250VAC or 250VAC/DC are acceptable as these ranges encompass or match the original specification.

Product Status: All identified substitutes are classified as Active, providing ongoing availability and manufacturing support compared to the obsolete 3EEB1.

Compliance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry CSA, UL, or equivalent international certifications required for AC power connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 6609006-5

The 6609006-5 manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters is the direct functional equivalent to the 3EEB1. Both components share identical electrical ratings (3A, 120/250VAC), mechanical configuration (IEC 320-C14 panel mount), and filtering specifications. The 6609006-5 is manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer and carries active product status with 2823 units in stock. This part includes shielding features and maintains all required certifications (CSA, UL, VDE). Selection of this part eliminates any compatibility risk and ensures continuity with the original design intent.

Secondary Recommendations: 858-03/007, B84771A0003A000, F2199CA03, FN9222-3-06

All five substitute parts meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for IEC 320-C14 panel mount receptacles with 3A filtering. Each maintains ROHS3 compliance and carries appropriate international certifications (CSA, UL, ENEC, or equivalent). Voltage ratings across all substitutes encompass or match the original 120/250VAC specification. These alternatives are suitable for applications where the original 3EEB1 is no longer available, provided that design validation confirms compatibility with existing panel cutout dimensions and mounting configurations.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts carry certifications from recognized approval agencies (CSA, UL, VDE, ENEC, TUV, CQC). The B84771A0003A000 provides enhanced ingress protection (IP40) and includes a bleed resistor feature. The FN9222-3-06 specifies UL94 V-2 material flammability rating and IP40 ingress protection. These enhanced features do not preclude substitution but should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6609006-5 directly replace the 3EEB1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 6609006-5 matches all critical electrical parameters (3A, 120/250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-C14), mounting configuration (panel mount flange), and termination type (quick connect 0.250"). Both are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and carry identical certifications. The 6609006-5 is the recommended direct replacement.

Q: What is the difference between the 3EEB1 and 6609006-5 if they are equivalent?

A: The primary difference is product status: the 3EEB1 is obsolete while the 6609006-5 is active. The 6609006-5 belongs to the EEJ series compared to the EEB series of the 3EEB1. The 6609006-5 includes shielding features. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are all listed substitutes suitable for the same applications?

A: All listed substitutes meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical requirements for IEC 320-C14 panel mount receptacles with 3A filtering. However, panel cutout dimensions vary: the 858-03/007 and FN9222-3-06 specify rectangular cutouts (28.45mm x 21.60mm and 28.50mm x 21.50mm respectively), while others specify variable size. Verify panel cutout compatibility before selection.

Q: What certifications do the substitute parts carry?

A: All substitutes carry CSA and UL certifications. Additional certifications include: VDE (6609006-5), ENEC and cUL (B84771A0003A000), TUV and CE (F2199CA03), and CQC and ENEC (FN9222-3-06). These certifications satisfy requirements for AC power connector applications across North American and international markets.

Q: Does the voltage rating difference between 120/250VAC and 115/250VAC affect substitution?

A: No. The 858-03/007 rated for 115/250VAC is compatible with applications requiring 120/250VAC operation. The 115V specification encompasses the 120V requirement. Similarly, parts rated for 250VAC or 250VAC/DC are acceptable for 120/250VAC applications.

Q: What is the significance of the shielding feature in the 6609006-5?

A: The 6609006-5 includes shielding in addition to the standard EMI/RFI filtering present in all listed parts. This provides enhanced electromagnetic interference suppression. Shielding does not preclude substitution in applications where the original 3EEB1 lacked this feature, but it may provide improved performance in electrically noisy environments.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 3EEB1 and 6609006-5 are supplied in bulk packaging. The 858-03/007 and FN9222-3-06 are supplied in trays. The B84771A0003A000 is supplied in trays. The F2199CA03 is supplied in boxes. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence procurement and inventory management.

Q: What additional features do some substitutes provide?

A: The B84771A0003A000 includes a bleed resistor and provides IP40 ingress protection. The FN9222-3-06 specifies UL94 V-2 material flammability rating and IP40 ingress protection. These features enhance performance in specific applications but are not required for basic IEC 320-C14 receptacle functionality.

Q: Can I use FN9222-3-06 if the appliance inlet current rating is not specified?

A: The FN9222-3-06 does not specify an appliance inlet current rating in the provided data, though the filter current rating is 3A. For applications requiring explicit current rating documentation, the 6609006-5, 858-03/007, B84771A0003A000, or F2199CA03 are preferred as they provide complete electrical specifications.
