TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 3FBL3 Line Filter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 3FBL3 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 277VAC/277VDC at 3A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mount filter is designed for lighting applications and features wire lead termination. The part is currently active in production with 1184 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same product category. Alternative models may be required due to inventory availability, regional compliance certifications, or specific application requirements while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3FBL3 line filter is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Voltage rating (277VAC/277VDC)
• Current capacity (3A)
• Operating frequency (50/60Hz)
• Filter configuration (single phase, single stage)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type (chassis mount)
• Termination style (wire leads)
• Operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 50°C)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• Product status (active)

The substitute part 9-1609095-0 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the 3FBL3, with additional regulatory certifications (CSA, UR, VDE) and specified inductance values. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and belong to the FB series line filter category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3FBL3 and 9-1609095-0 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 277VAC/277VDC 3A single-phase line filtering applications.

3FBL3 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when approval agency certifications are not required
• Current inventory: 1184 pieces
• Suitable for applications where specific inductance values are not specified

9-1609095-0 Selection Criteria:

• Required for applications demanding CSA, UR, or VDE regulatory certifications
• Specified inductance values (L1 - 420µH, L2 - 490µH) available for circuit design verification
• Current inventory: 1252 pieces
• Moisture sensitivity level defined as 1 (Unlimited)

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical operating parameters. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory certification requirements and whether inductance specifications are necessary for the application design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 9-1609095-0 be used as a direct replacement for 3FBL3?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (277VAC/277VDC, 3A, 50/60Hz), mechanical configuration (single-phase, single-stage, chassis mount, wire leads), and operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 50°C). The 9-1609095-0 includes additional regulatory certifications (CSA, UR, VDE) and specified inductance values.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Voltage rating (277VAC/277VDC), current capacity (3A), operating frequency (50/60Hz), filter type (single phase), and configuration (single stage) must remain identical. Both substitute parts meet these requirements.

Q: Are there differences in packaging or termination?

A: No. Both parts use identical packaging (bulk) and termination style (wire leads). Both are chassis-mount filters suitable for the same installation methods.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance values specified for 9-1609095-0?

A: The inductance values (L1 - 420µH, L2 - 490µH) are provided for the 9-1609095-0 to support circuit design calculations and EMI filtering performance verification. The 3FBL3 does not have specified inductance values in the provided data.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance status?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. The 9-1609095-0 includes additional regulatory approvals (CSA, UR, VDE) not specified for the 3FBL3. The REACH status differs: 3FBL3 is REACH Affected, while 9-1609095-0 is Vendor Undefined.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. If CSA, UR, or VDE certifications are required, use 9-1609095-0. If these certifications are not required, either part is suitable. Both maintain identical functional performance for 277VAC/277VDC 3A lighting applications.
