SCHURTER 4304.4053 Power Entry Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 4304.4053 is an AC Power Connector Receptacle module conforming to IEC 320-C14 standard with male blades configuration. This component serves as the power inlet interface in equipment requiring filtered AC power entry with integrated EMI/RFI suppression. The part is classified as Active and maintains 698 units in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when panel-mount configurations are required, when specific mounting geometries must accommodate equipment enclosure designs, or when integrated filtering and switching features are mandated by system specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 4304.4053 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Standard Compliance: IEC 320-C14 male blade configuration
• Connector Type: Receptacle module with male blades
• Series Compatibility: FKH series designation
• Manufacturer Consistency: SCHURTER Inc. original components only
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current specifications must match or exceed the original design
• Mounting Configuration: Mechanical interface must be compatible with equipment enclosure requirements

The substitute part 4304.4043 maintains identical electrical and functional specifications while introducing panel-mount flange configuration as the primary mechanical differentiation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (4304.4053): Select when module-type connector configuration is required without panel-mount flange integration. Suitable for applications where the connector is integrated directly into equipment housing or when space constraints prohibit flange-mounted designs.

Substitute Part Selection (4304.4043): Select when panel-mount flange configuration is mandatory for equipment enclosure integration. This variant includes integrated EMI/RFI filtering, switch functionality, and fuse holder capability. The panel cutout dimensions (61.00mm x 29.50mm rectangular) and 8.00mm panel thickness accommodation must be verified against equipment specifications. This part carries cULus and ENEC certifications and maintains ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial power entry applications.

Both parts maintain Active product status and are available from current inventory. Selection between these variants depends exclusively on mechanical mounting requirements and whether integrated filtering and switching features are specified in the system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4304.4043 directly replace the 4304.4053 in existing equipment?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the equipment enclosure accommodates the panel-mount flange configuration. The 4304.4043 requires a rectangular panel cutout of 61.00mm x 29.50mm and is designed for 8.00mm panel thickness. Verify these dimensions against your equipment specifications before substitution.

Q: What is the functional difference between these two connectors?

A: Both connectors conform to IEC 320-C14 standard and provide identical electrical interface (250VAC, 10A rating). The primary difference is mechanical: the 4304.4053 is a module-type connector, while the 4304.4043 includes panel-mount flange, integrated EMI/RFI filtering, switch on-off functionality, and fuse holder capability.

Q: Are both parts certified for commercial applications?

A: The 4304.4043 carries cULus and ENEC certifications and is ROHS3 compliant. Certification status for the 4304.4053 is not specified in available technical data. Verify certification requirements against your application standards before final selection.

Q: What is the panel thickness requirement for the 4304.4043?

A: The 4304.4043 is designed for 0.315 inches (8.00mm) panel thickness. Equipment enclosures must meet this specification for proper mounting and sealing.

Q: Are both parts available in current inventory?

A: Yes. The 4304.4053 has 698 units in stock, and the 4304.4043 has 1092 units in stock, both listed as new original components.
