SCHURTER 6162.0084 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 6162.0084 is an AC power entry connector receptacle designed for IEC 320-C14 applications. This component features male blades, insert mount configuration, and is rated for 10A at 250VAC in unfiltered commercial applications. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The connector provides IP20 ingress protection and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements with ROHS3 compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 6162.0084 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Must be IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 10A and voltage rating of 250VAC are mandatory for equivalent functionality
• Number of Positions: Must maintain 3 positions for proper pin configuration
• Termination Method: Solder eyelet termination ensures compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes
• Compliance Standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance are required for regulatory alignment

The substitute part SCHURTER 6100.4115 meets all critical substitution criteria while offering an active product status and enhanced ingress protection (IP30 vs. IP20). The primary difference is the mounting configuration: the substitute uses panel mount snap-in versus the original insert mount design, requiring mechanical redesign of the mounting interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 6100.4115 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 6162.0084. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (10A, 250VAC, IEC 320-C14 configuration) and share equivalent compliance certifications including UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status.

The 6100.4115 offers active product status with extended availability (2444 units in stock versus 869 for the original), ensuring supply chain continuity. The enhanced IP30 ingress protection provides superior environmental sealing compared to the IP20 rating of the original part.

The primary design consideration is the mounting interface change from insert mount to panel mount snap-in configuration. This substitution requires mechanical redesign of the mounting structure but does not affect electrical performance or connector interface compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6100.4115 directly replace the 6162.0084 without any modifications?

A: Electrical and connector interface compatibility is complete. However, the mounting configuration differs: the original uses insert mount while the substitute uses panel mount snap-in. The mechanical mounting structure must be redesigned to accommodate the snap-in mechanism.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 10A at 250VAC with IEC 320-C14 connector style, 3-position configuration, and solder eyelet termination. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection ratings?

A: The original 6162.0084 provides IP20 protection, while the substitute 6100.4115 offers IP30 protection. IP30 provides enhanced sealing against dust and water spray, making it suitable for more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The substitute 6100.4115 holds additional approvals including CCC and cULus certification.

Q: What is the panel thickness requirement for the substitute part?

A: The 6100.4115 is designed for panel thickness of 0.059 inches (1.50mm). Verify that your panel assembly meets this specification before implementation.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 6162.0084 has been discontinued by SCHURTER Inc. The 6100.4115 represents the current active product line for equivalent IEC 320-C14 power entry connector applications.
