Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5VR7M is based on functional equivalence within the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage rating of 250VAC minimum (accommodates 120/250VAC requirement)
• Current rating of 5A or greater
• Quick Connect termination style (0.250" / 6.3mm)
• EMI/RFI filtering capability

Functional Equivalence Criteria:

• Single-phase AC power filtering
• Commercial-grade EMC/EMI filtration
• Operating frequency range compatible with AC mains (DC ~ 400Hz acceptable)
• Regulatory approvals from CSA, UL, or equivalent recognized agencies

Mechanical Considerations:

• Termination compatibility with 0.250" quick connect terminals
• Mounting configuration suitable for power entry applications

The identified substitute part FN9246-6-06 meets these criteria through equivalent voltage and current ratings, matching termination style, and comparable filtering performance, though with different mounting configuration (chassis mount versus panel mount).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - TE Connectivity 5VR7M: Select the 5VR7M for applications requiring IEC 320-C14 panel mount power entry connectors with integrated filtering. This part maintains active production status with established supply (772 units in stock) and carries multi-agency approvals (CSA, UL, VDE) suitable for commercial appliance inlet applications.

Substitute Selection - Schaffner EMC FN9246-6-06: The FN9246-6-06 serves as a functional substitute for applications where chassis mount configuration is acceptable and higher current capacity (6A versus 5A) provides design margin. This part offers superior RoHS compliance (ROHS3 Compliant versus non-compliant) and extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C). Regulatory approvals include CSA certification, ensuring compatibility with North American markets. The wider frequency operating range (DC ~ 400Hz) accommodates variable frequency drive applications.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts carry CSA approval, enabling use in North American markets. The 5VR7M maintains VDE certification for European applications. The FN9246-6-06 includes SEMKO and UR approvals. Selection should account for target market regulatory requirements and RoHS compliance mandates in the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN9246-6-06 directly replace the 5VR7M in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires mechanical redesign. The 5VR7M is panel mount with flange configuration; the FN9246-6-06 is chassis mount. Both share Quick Connect termination (0.250" / 6.3mm) and compatible voltage/current ratings (250VAC, 5-6A). Mounting structure and panel cutout dimensions differ, necessitating enclosure modification.

Q: What is the current rating difference between these parts?

A: The 5VR7M is rated 5A at the appliance inlet. The FN9246-6-06 is rated 6A. The substitute provides 1A additional capacity, suitable for applications requiring design margin or future load expansion within the 250VAC operating envelope.

Q: Are both parts suitable for 120VAC operation?

A: The 5VR7M is explicitly rated 120/250VAC. The FN9246-6-06 is rated 250VAC. For 120VAC-only applications, the 5VR7M is the specified choice. The FN9246-6-06 operates at 250VAC rating and is suitable for 120VAC as a subset of this rating.

Q: What are the RoHS compliance differences?

A: The 5VR7M is RoHS non-compliant. The FN9246-6-06 is ROHS3 Compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives (EU 2011/65/EU and amendments) require the FN9246-6-06 or equivalent compliant alternative.

Q: Do both parts include EMI/RFI filtering?

A: Yes. The 5VR7M includes Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial type filtering at 5A. The FN9246-6-06 is a Single Phase EMC/EMI Line Filter at 6A. Both provide commercial-grade electromagnetic interference suppression suitable for appliance inlet applications.

Q: What termination compatibility exists between these parts?

A: Both parts use Quick Connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals. Wiring harnesses and terminal connections are compatible between the two parts, simplifying substitution at the electrical interface level.

Q: Which part is recommended for new designs?

A: For new designs, evaluate application-specific requirements: panel mount versus chassis mount configuration, RoHS compliance mandate, and target operating temperature range. The FN9246-6-06 offers modern compliance (ROHS3) and extended temperature performance (-25°C ~ 85°C). The 5VR7M provides established IEC 320-C14 panel mount integration with multi-agency approvals.
