TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 5VB1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 5VB1 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 5A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mounted filter features quick-connect termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering. The product is active and maintains 843 units in current inventory stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent filtering performance is required across different voltage ratings, current capacities, or operational frequency ranges while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5VB1 are classified based on the following core electrical and mechanical parameters that determine functional equivalency:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Filter Type: Single Phase
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Quick Connect
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC (primary) or dual-voltage capability (115V/250VAC)
• Current Rating: 5A or higher
• Frequency Operation: 50/60Hz or extended frequency range
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Substitution Logic: Parts are grouped as direct or similar substitutes based on whether they meet or exceed the electrical specifications of the 5VB1 while maintaining identical mechanical interfaces. Direct substitutes operate at identical voltage and current ratings. Similar substitutes provide equivalent or enhanced performance through higher current ratings or extended voltage ranges, suitable for applications where the 5VB1 specifications are met or exceeded.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitute - 851-05/005 (Qualtek): The Qualtek 851-05/005 operates at identical 5A current and 250VAC voltage specifications as the 5VB1. This part provides dual-voltage capability (115V/250VAC) and extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C). All three approval agencies (CSA, UR, VDE) match the original specification. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications operating at 250VAC 5A.

Similar Substitute - F1199AA06 (Curtis Industries): The Curtis Industries F1199AA06 maintains 250VAC voltage rating with increased current capacity of 6A. Quick-connect termination and chassis-mount configuration provide mechanical compatibility. Approval agencies include CE, CSA, TUV, and UR, exceeding the original specification set. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. This substitute accommodates applications requiring higher current capacity within the same voltage class.

Similar Substitute - FN2010-6-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.): The Schaffner EMC FN2010-6-06 operates at 250VAC with 6A current rating and extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) compared to the 5VB1's 50/60Hz specification. Operating temperature range extends to -25°C ~ 100°C. Approval agencies include CSA, ENEC, and UR. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are confirmed. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring extended frequency operation or enhanced temperature performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 851-05/005 replace the TE Connectivity 5VB1 in all applications? A: The Qualtek 851-05/005 meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the 5VB1 at 250VAC 5A operation. Mechanical interfaces (chassis mount, quick connect) are identical. The substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications operating within the 5VB1's specified parameters.

Q: What is the difference between direct and similar substitutes? A: Direct substitutes match the voltage and current ratings of the original part. Similar substitutes provide enhanced specifications such as higher current capacity or extended frequency range while maintaining the same voltage class and mechanical interface.

Q: Why do the Curtis Industries F1199AA06 and Schaffner EMC FN2010-6-06 have 6A ratings when the 5VB1 is rated for 5A? A: Higher current ratings indicate increased capacity. These parts are suitable for applications requiring the 5VB1's specifications and can accommodate higher current demands within the same voltage class. Selection should be based on actual application requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (851-05/005, F1199AA06, FN2010-6-06) maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the environmental compliance status of the 5VB1.

Q: What approval agencies are common across all parts? A: CSA and UR approvals are present on all four parts (5VB1, 851-05/005, F1199AA06, FN2010-6-06). VDE approval is shared by the 5VB1 and 851-05/005. Additional certifications vary by manufacturer.

Q: Can the Schaffner EMC FN2010-6-06 operate at frequencies outside 50/60Hz? A: Yes. The FN2010-6-06 is rated for DC ~ 400Hz operation, providing extended frequency capability beyond the 5VB1's 50/60Hz specification. This makes it suitable for applications requiring broader frequency range support.

Q: What is the packaging difference between substitute parts? A: The 5VB1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 851-05/005 is supplied in Tray packaging. The F1199AA06 and FN2010-6-06 are supplied in Box packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: How do inductance values differ across these parts? A: The 5VB1 has 516µH inductance. The 851-05/005 has 2.9mH, the FN2010-6-06 has 1mH, and the F1199AA06 inductance is not specified. Inductance values reflect design differences in filtering characteristics and should be considered based on specific application requirements.
