Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 5120.0306.0.21 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector standard compliance (IEC 320-C14)
• Electrical ratings (10A at 250VAC)
• Connector configuration (Receptacle, Male Blades, 3 positions)
• Mounting methodology (Panel Mount, Flange)
• Termination type (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Filtering characteristics (Filtered for EMI/RFI)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH, CCC, cULus, ENEC)

The direct substitute 5120.0306.0 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 5120.0306.0 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 5120.0306.0.21. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factors, and connector interface standards. The active status of 5120.0306.0 ensures continued manufacturing availability, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory frameworks including ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection of the active variant eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete components while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5120.0306.0 directly replace the 5120.0306.0.21 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are IEC 320-C14 receptacles with identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), mechanical mounting configurations (Panel Mount, Flange), and termination methods (Quick Connect - 0.250"). No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the obsolete and active variants?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 5120.0306.0.21 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 5120.0306.0 is an active product with current manufacturing support. Both maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. The active variant carries ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance on the obsolete version.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The obsolete 5120.0306.0.21 was supplied in standard packaging. The active 5120.0306.0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for integration into power entry systems without modification.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 5120.0306.0 carries CCC, cULus, and ENEC approvals. It is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These certifications support deployment in commercial and medical applications.

Q: Is the filtering specification identical between both parts?

A: Both components feature EMI and RFI filtering. The active variant 5120.0306.0 explicitly designates commercial and medical grade filtering, while the obsolete variant specifies filtered configuration without application classification.
