TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 3EEB2 AC Power Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 3EEB2 is a Power Entry Connector Receptacle with Male Blades, IEC 320-C14 configuration, designed for panel mount applications with right angle orientation. This component functions as a filtered AC power inlet with integrated EMI/RFI filtering for commercial applications. The 3EEB2 operates at 3A current rating and 120/250VAC voltage rating with quick connect termination.

The 3EEB2 carries an Obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure availability for new production builds, repairs, and legacy system support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3EEB2 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

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

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: 120/250VAC (exact match required)
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 3A (exact match required)
• Approval Agency certifications: CSA, UL, VDE (minimum required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required)

Identified Substitutes:

1. 3EEJ2 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters) - MFR Recommended Substitute
2. FN9226-3-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) - Similar Manufacturer Substitute

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3EEJ2 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters) - Primary Recommendation

The 3EEJ2 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 3EEB2. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and share identical electrical specifications: 3A current rating, 120/250VAC voltage rating, IEC 320-C14 connector style, and commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. The 3EEJ2 maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. All required certifications (CSA, UL, VDE) and ROHS3 compliance are maintained. The primary design difference is the panel cutout dimension (36.83mm x 26.75mm versus 30.48mm x 22.86mm), which requires panel modification for direct retrofit applications.

FN9226-3-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) - Alternative Substitute

The FN9226-3-06 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer with Active product status. This component maintains the same connector style, type, filter configuration, and termination as the 3EEB2. The FN9226-3-06 carries expanded regulatory approvals (CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, UL) and holds REACH Unaffected status, which may provide advantages in certain supply chain or regulatory contexts. The appliance inlet current and voltage ratings are not specified in available documentation. The panel cutout dimension (34.40mm x 22.60mm) differs from the original 3EEB2 specification and requires panel modification for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3EEJ2 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 3EEB2?

A: The 3EEJ2 is electrically and functionally equivalent to the 3EEB2 with identical current ratings, voltage ratings, connector configuration, and filter specifications. However, the panel cutout dimensions differ (36.83mm x 26.75mm versus 30.48mm x 22.86mm), requiring panel modification for installation. Mechanical compatibility must be assessed for each application.

Q: What are the key differences between the 3EEJ2 and FN9226-3-06?

A: Both parts meet the primary substitution criteria with identical connector style, type, filter configuration, and termination. The 3EEJ2 is from TE Connectivity (same manufacturer as the original 3EEB2) with specified appliance inlet ratings of 3A/120/250VAC. The FN9226-3-06 is from Schaffner with unspecified appliance inlet ratings but expanded regulatory approvals (ENEC, SEMKO). Panel cutout dimensions differ between both substitutes and the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 3EEJ2 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the FN9226-3-06 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement quantities, handling procedures, and inventory management.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. Both the 3EEJ2 and FN9226-3-06 are ROHS3 Compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 3EEB2.

Q: What is the significance of REACH status differences?

A: The 3EEB2 and 3EEJ2 carry REACH Affected status, indicating these components are subject to REACH regulatory requirements. The FN9226-3-06 carries REACH Unaffected status. REACH status may influence supply chain documentation, regulatory reporting, and material sourcing decisions depending on application jurisdiction.

Q: Are all substitute parts certified by the same regulatory agencies?

A: The 3EEB2 and 3EEJ2 share identical certifications (CSA, UL, VDE). The FN9226-3-06 carries expanded certifications (CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, UL), providing additional regulatory recognition in specific markets.

Q: What panel modifications are required for substitution?

A: The original 3EEB2 requires a rectangular panel cutout of 30.48mm x 22.86mm. The 3EEJ2 requires 36.83mm x 26.75mm, and the FN9226-3-06 requires 34.40mm x 22.60mm. Panel modification is necessary for any substitute installation.
