Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 4302.0103 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module
• Current Rating: 10A
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC
• Number of Positions: 3
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.189" (4.8mm)
• Switch Features: Switch On-Off, Illuminated
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Ingress Protection: IP40

The substitute part DC11.0021.301 meets all these criteria and is classified as Active, making it a direct functional equivalent for applications currently using the obsolete 4302.0103.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DC11.0021.301 is the direct substitute for the obsolete SCHURTER 4302.0103. Both components are manufactured by SCHURTER Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part is currently Active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory compliance is maintained across both parts with ROHS3 and REACH certifications. The DC11.0021.301 carries CCC, cULus, and ENEC approvals, while the original part includes CSA and UL certifications. Panel cutout dimensions differ marginally (27.60mm x 31.60mm versus 27.50mm x 31.50mm), representing a tolerance variation of 0.10mm in each dimension that falls within standard mechanical tolerances for panel mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DC11.0021.301 be used as a direct replacement for 4302.0103 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are IEC 320-C14 receptacles with identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), switch functionality, termination type, and mounting configuration. The panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.10mm in each axis, which is within standard mechanical tolerances for panel mount connectors.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 4302.0103 is supplied in standard packaging, while DC11.0021.301 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects procurement quantities and logistics but does not impact component functionality or performance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The 4302.0103 carries CSA and UL certifications in addition to CCC and ENEC. The DC11.0021.301 carries cULus certification (which encompasses both CSA and UL requirements) along with CCC and ENEC. Both meet the required regulatory standards for AC power inlet applications.

Q: Why is the 4302.0103 classified as Obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The DC11.0021.301 from the active DC11 series provides equivalent functionality and is the recommended part for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 10A at 250VAC with 3 positions, unfiltered commercial configuration, and identical switch on-off illuminated features.
