Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete SCHURTER 4300.0101 with the active SCHURTER 6160.0002 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Both parts maintain identical IEC 320-C6 connector style
• Both rated for 2.5A at 250VAC
• Both feature three-position configuration
• Both employ unfiltered commercial design

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Both utilize panel mount with flange configuration
• Both employ through-hole right-angle solder termination
• Panel cutout dimensions are functionally equivalent (4300.0101: 22.90mm x 17.90mm; 6160.0002: 23.00mm x 18.00mm)
• Both support panel thickness within acceptable range (4300.0101: 4.00mm; 6160.0002: 4.60mm)

Compliance Alignment:

• Both achieve UL94 V-0 material flammability rating
• Both maintain ROHS3 compliance
• Both classified as REACH Unaffected

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 6160.0002 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 4300.0101. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications (2.5A, 250VAC, IEC 320-C6) and mechanical mounting requirements (panel mount flange, through-hole solder termination). The 6160.0002 maintains equivalent safety certifications with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance.

The primary distinction is ingress protection rating: the 4300.0101 provides IP40 protection while the 6160.0002 provides IP20 protection. This difference reflects the evolution of the product line and does not affect core electrical or mechanical function for standard AC power entry applications. The 6160.0002 carries active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (3769 units versus 971 units for the obsolete part).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 6160.0002 directly replace the 4300.0101 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (2.5A, 250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-C6), and mechanical mounting configuration (panel mount flange, through-hole solder). Panel cutout dimensions are functionally equivalent within standard manufacturing tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the IP40 versus IP20 ingress protection difference?

A: The 4300.0101 provides IP40 protection (protection against solid objects greater than 1mm and water splash), while the 6160.0002 provides IP20 protection (protection against solid objects greater than 12mm and no water protection). Selection depends on the environmental exposure requirements of the application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 4300.0101 is supplied in unspecified packaging, while the 6160.0002 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory approvals?

A: Both parts achieve UL and CSA certifications. The 4300.0101 additionally carries CCC and ENEC approvals, while the 6160.0002 carries VDE approval. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the panel thickness compatibility for each part?

A: The 4300.0101 accommodates panel thickness of 0.157" (4.00mm), while the 6160.0002 accommodates 0.138" (4.60mm). Verify panel thickness in your application to ensure proper fit.
