• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In (all substitutes must match)
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial (all substitutes must match)
• Number of Positions: 3 (all substitutes must match)
• Fuse Accommodation: Yes (all substitutes must match)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: Substitutes may equal or exceed the 4A rating
• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: Substitutes may equal or exceed the 120/250VAC rating
• Current Rating - Filter: Substitutes may equal or exceed the 4A rating
• Termination Type: Quick Connect or Solder Eyelet acceptable
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Variable Size acceptable if panel thickness range overlaps
• Switch Features: On-Off switch addition acceptable
• Fuse Holder Configuration: Twin Fused acceptable

The three substitute parts identified (6609107-4, PE810206, FN380-4-21) satisfy all mandatory compatibility parameters while offering enhanced or equivalent electrical ratings and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609107-4

The 6609107-4 is an active product from the same manufacturer as the obsolete 4EDL1SC. This substitute provides enhanced current ratings (6A versus 4A) and maintains compatibility with the IEC 320-C14 connector standard. The addition of an On-Off switch and twin fused configuration provides functional enhancement. The termination connector size differs (0.187" versus 0.110"), requiring verification of mating connector compatibility. All core regulatory approvals (CSA, UL, VDE) are maintained. ROHS3 compliance exceeds the original RoHS requirement.

Curtis Industries PE810206

The PE810206 maintains the original termination specification (Quick Connect - 0.110") and panel thickness range compatibility. This substitute provides 6A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating, supporting higher voltage applications. The addition of an On-Off switch provides functional enhancement. Regulatory approvals include CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are provided. Panel cutout dimensions are variable, requiring dimensional verification against the original 28.50mm x 55.91mm specification.

Schaffner EMC Inc. FN380-4-21

The FN380-4-21 maintains the original current rating (4A) and panel thickness range (0.031" ~ 0.126"). This substitute provides IP40 ingress protection and UL94 V-2 material flammability rating, offering enhanced environmental specifications. The termination type differs (Solder Eyelet versus Quick Connect - 0.110"), requiring circuit board design modification. The addition of an On-Off switch provides functional enhancement. All core regulatory approvals (CSA, UL, VDE) are maintained. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are provided.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6609107-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 4EDL1SC without any modifications?

A: The 6609107-4 is functionally compatible with the 4EDL1SC for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. However, the termination connector size differs (0.187" versus 0.110"), requiring verification that mating connectors on the circuit board or wiring harness are compatible with the larger connector size. The panel thickness range is slightly reduced (0.114" maximum versus 0.126" maximum), which may affect compatibility with thicker panel installations.

Q: What is the difference between the termination types offered in these substitutes?

A: The 4EDL1SC and PE810206 use Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) termination, which connects to standard 0.110" spade connectors. The 6609107-4 uses Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm) termination, requiring larger spade connectors. The FN380-4-21 uses Solder Eyelet termination, which requires direct soldering to circuit board pads or wire connections, eliminating the need for spade connectors but requiring circuit board design modification.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 4EDL1SC is RoHS Compliant. All three substitute parts (6609107-4, PE810206, FN380-4-21) are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an enhanced compliance standard that exceeds the original requirement.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 4EDL1SC has a 4A current rating for both the appliance inlet and filter. The 6609107-4 and PE810206 both provide 6A ratings, which means they can safely handle higher current applications. These higher-rated substitutes are backward compatible with 4A applications. The FN380-4-21 maintains the original 4A filter rating.

Q: Does the addition of an On-Off switch in the substitute parts affect compatibility?

A: The addition of an On-Off switch in the 6609107-4, PE810206, and FN380-4-21 provides functional enhancement without affecting electrical compatibility. The switch allows manual power control at the connector level. This feature is additive and does not compromise the ability to use these parts in applications where the switch is not utilized.

Q: What are the panel cutout dimension implications for substitution?

A: The 4EDL1SC specifies rectangular panel cutout dimensions of 28.50mm x 55.91mm. The 6609107-4, PE810206, and FN380-4-21 all specify variable size panel cutouts. When substituting, the actual panel cutout dimensions of the replacement part must be verified against the existing panel opening to ensure proper fit and snap-in mounting functionality.

Q: Are there voltage rating considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: The 4EDL1SC supports 120/250VAC. The 6609107-4 supports 120VAC only, which is suitable for North American applications but not for dual-voltage installations. The PE810206 supports 250VAC, suitable for European and international applications. The FN380-4-21 does not specify voltage rating. Application voltage requirements must be matched to the substitute part's voltage rating.

Q: What regulatory approvals should be considered when selecting a substitute?

A: The 4EDL1SC carries CSA, SEMKO, SEV, UL, and VDE approvals. The 6609107-4 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The PE810206 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The FN380-4-21 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Selection should be based on the regulatory requirements of the target market and application.

Q: What is the significance of the fuse holder configuration differences?

A: The 4EDL1SC uses a standard Fuse Holder. The 6609107-4 uses a Twin Fused configuration, which accommodates two fuses for enhanced circuit protection. The PE810206 and FN380-4-21 use standard Fuse Holder configurations. All parts accommodate fuses but do not include them. The fuse type and rating must be selected based on application requirements.
