Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent and substitute parts for the 3VB1 are determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Filter Type: Single Phase
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Current Rating: 3 A
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Quick Connect
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UR, VDE (minimum requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

Voltage Compatibility: The 3VB1 operates at 250VAC. Substitute parts must support 250VAC operation. Parts supporting dual voltage ranges (115V/250VAC) are compatible when the 250VAC specification is met.

Frequency Compatibility: The 3VB1 operates at 50/60Hz. Substitute parts must support this frequency range. Parts with extended frequency ranges (DC ~ 400Hz) are compatible as they encompass the 50/60Hz requirement.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: FN2010-3-06 from Schaffner EMC Inc. and 851-03/003 from Qualtek.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FN2010-3-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) is a direct equivalent for 250VAC applications. This part maintains all critical electrical specifications including 3A current rating, single stage configuration, and quick connect termination. The FN2010-3-06 provides extended frequency range capability (DC ~ 400Hz) and superior operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C) compared to the 3VB1. Approval agencies include CSA, ENEC, and UR, meeting regulatory requirements. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or broader frequency operation.

851-03/003 (Qualtek) is a compatible substitute supporting both 115V and 250VAC operation. This part meets all core substitution criteria with matching 3A current rating, single stage configuration, and quick connect termination. The 851-03/003 maintains 50/60Hz frequency compatibility and includes CSA, UR, and VDE approvals matching the original specification. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. Operating temperature range extends to -25°C ~ 85°C. This substitute provides dual voltage flexibility for applications that may require 115VAC operation.

Both substitute parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability and full regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2010-3-06 replace the 3VB1 in a 250VAC 50/60Hz application?

A: Yes. The FN2010-3-06 meets all electrical specifications for 250VAC operation at 3A with 50/60Hz compatibility. The extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) encompasses the required 50/60Hz band. Mounting type, termination style, and regulatory approvals are identical. The part is suitable for direct substitution in 250VAC applications.

Q: What is the difference in inductance between the 3VB1 and substitute parts?

A: The 3VB1 has 1.76mH inductance. The FN2010-3-06 has 2.5mH inductance, and the 851-03/003 has 2.8mH inductance. These differences reflect design variations between manufacturers but do not prevent substitution when electrical performance requirements are met.

Q: Can the 851-03/003 be used in applications requiring only 250VAC operation?

A: Yes. The 851-03/003 is rated for both 115V and 250VAC operation. When used in 250VAC applications, the part operates within its rated specifications. The dual voltage capability does not restrict use in single voltage applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 3VB1, FN2010-3-06, and 851-03/003 are all ROHS3 compliant. All three parts meet environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What are the packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 3VB1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The FN2010-3-06 and 851-03/003 are supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects supplier logistics and handling specifications.

Q: Do all parts have the same approval agencies?

A: The 3VB1 and 851-03/003 share CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The FN2010-3-06 has CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. All three parts meet CSA and UR requirements. The 3VB1 and 851-03/003 include VDE approval, while the FN2010-3-06 includes ENEC approval. All approvals are recognized regulatory certifications suitable for general purpose applications.

Q: Which substitute part has the widest operating temperature range?

A: The FN2010-3-06 operates from -25°C to 100°C, providing the widest temperature range. The 851-03/003 operates from -25°C to 85°C. The 3VB1 operates from -10°C to 40°C. Selection should be based on application temperature requirements.
