Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 5120.0003.0 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 5120.0003.0.21 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains Active status, ensuring continued manufacturing support, availability, and supply chain reliability. The main part's Obsolete designation creates procurement risk and limits long-term component sourcing.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The substitute part achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, representing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the main part's RoHS Compliant designation. Multi-agency approvals (CCC, cULus, ENEC) on the substitute part provide broader market acceptance and certification coverage.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier (SCHURTER Inc.) within the same product series (5120), ensuring design continuity and mechanical compatibility for panel-mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5120.0003.0 directly replace the 5120.0003.0.21 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by SCHURTER Inc. within the same product series and share identical mechanical mounting interfaces (Panel Mount, Flange) and termination specifications (Quick Connect - 0.250"). The substitute part is designed as a direct functional equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The main part (5120.0003.0.21) is designated Obsolete, which restricts manufacturing availability and creates supply chain uncertainty. The substitute part (5120.0003.0) maintains Active status, ensuring reliable procurement and continued manufacturer support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status. The substitute part achieves ROHS3 Compliant status and carries multi-agency approvals (CCC, cULus, ENEC), providing enhanced regulatory coverage compared to the main part.

Q: What electrical specifications define this substitution?

A: The substitute part operates at 250VAC with a 4A current rating, features IEC 320-C14 connector standard, and includes commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. These specifications establish the electrical compatibility parameters for this AC Power Connector category.

Q: Does packaging differ between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part packaging is not specified. The substitute part is supplied in Bulk packaging, which is standard for panel-mount power entry connectors in production environments.
