SCHURTER 6162.0080 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 6162.0080 is a Power Entry Connector Receptacle designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This component features male blades, a flange-style mounting configuration, and is rated for 10A at 250VAC in unfiltered commercial applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where IEC 320-C14 connectivity is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 6162.0080 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades (non-negotiable for physical and electrical compatibility)
• Electrical Ratings: 10A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating (must match or exceed)
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount with flange design (required for mechanical fit)
• Number of Positions: 3-position configuration (fixed by IEC 320-C14 standard)
• Filter Type: Unfiltered - Commercial (functional classification)
• Compliance & Certifications: cCSAus, ENEC, UL approvals; UL94 V-0 flammability; ROHS3 compliance; REACH unaffected status

The SCHURTER 6162.0040 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference lies in termination method (solder eyelet versus quick connect) and panel cutout dimensions, which represent design-level considerations rather than functional incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 6162.0040 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 6162.0080. Both components maintain identical electrical performance specifications (10A, 250VAC) and share equivalent mechanical mounting configurations as IEC 320-C14 panel-mount receptacles.

Selection between these parts depends on termination method requirements:

• 6162.0080 (Quick Connect Termination): Suitable for applications requiring 0.250" (6.3mm) quick-connect blade termination. Obsolete status limits availability.
• 6162.0040 (Solder Eyelet Termination): Recommended for new designs and ongoing production. Active product status ensures supply continuity. Solder eyelet termination requires PCB or harness integration via soldering.

Both parts carry identical compliance certifications (cCSAus, ENEC, UL), UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status. Panel cutout dimensions differ (27.00mm x 19.60mm versus 29.60mm x 22.60mm), requiring mechanical design verification during substitution in existing enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6162.0040 directly replace the 6162.0080 in existing equipment?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed. Mechanical compatibility requires verification of panel cutout dimensions. The 6162.0040 requires a larger rectangular cutout (29.60mm x 22.60mm) compared to the 6162.0080 (27.00mm x 19.60mm). Existing panel openings may require modification.

Q: What is the primary functional difference between these two parts?

A: The termination method differs. The 6162.0080 uses quick-connect 0.250" (6.3mm) blade termination, while the 6162.0040 uses solder eyelet termination. Both deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical mounting characteristics.

Q: Are both parts certified to the same standards?

A: Yes. Both the 6162.0080 and 6162.0040 carry cCSAus, ENEC, and UL approvals, maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, comply with ROHS3 requirements, and are unaffected by REACH regulations.

Q: Why is the 6162.0080 classified as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The 6162.0040 remains active and is the recommended choice for new applications and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Do these connectors accommodate fuses?

A: No. Neither the 6162.0080 nor the 6162.0040 includes fuse accommodation. Both are unfiltered commercial power entry receptacles.
