Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 4302.0002 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Must maintain IEC 320-C14 configuration with receptacle, male blades module design
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount, snap-in installation method required
• Termination Standard: Quick Connect - 0.189" (4.8mm) termination compatibility
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (10A, 250VAC minimum)
• Physical Compatibility: Panel cutout dimensions and thickness tolerance must accommodate existing panel installations
• Functional Features: On-off switch functionality and unfiltered commercial design must be maintained
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and approval agency certifications (CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL) required

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters part number 1-1609112-8 qualifies as a substitute based on these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 1-1609112-8 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete SCHURTER 4302.0002 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: The TE part's 15A current rating and 120/250VAC voltage rating exceed the original 10A/250VAC specification, ensuring full backward compatibility for existing 10A applications.

Physical Installation: Both connectors employ identical panel mount snap-in methodology with matching panel thickness tolerance (0.059" / 1.50mm). Panel cutout dimensions show minor variance (27.50mm x 31.50mm versus 26.70mm x 31.60mm); existing panel cutouts must be evaluated for dimensional tolerance before substitution.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance. The TE part carries CSA, UL, and VDE certifications, while the original SCHURTER part includes CCC and ENEC certifications. Both satisfy UL and CSA requirements for AC power connector applications.

Functional Equivalence: Identical connector configuration (IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades), termination standard (Quick Connect 0.189"), switch functionality (on-off), and filter classification (unfiltered commercial) confirm functional parity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-1609112-8 directly replace the SCHURTER 4302.0002 in existing installations?

A: Functional replacement is supported based on electrical and connector specifications. Panel cutout dimensional variance (0.8mm width difference, 0.1mm height difference) requires verification against existing panel tolerance specifications before installation.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating on the TE substitute part?

A: The TE part's 15A rating provides design margin for 10A applications. This does not alter connector compatibility; it indicates the substitute can handle higher current loads if future application requirements change.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry UL/CSA certifications required for AC power connector applications. The TE part includes additional VDE certification; the original includes CCC and ENEC certifications. Selection depends on regional regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: What termination compatibility exists between these connectors?

A: Both connectors use identical Quick Connect - 0.189" (4.8mm) termination, ensuring direct compatibility with existing wiring harnesses and terminal blocks.

Q: How should panel cutout dimensional differences be addressed?

A: The 0.8mm width reduction and 0.1mm height increase in the TE part's cutout dimensions must be evaluated against panel tolerance specifications. Existing rectangular cutouts may require minor adjustment or verification of fit clearance.
