Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 6162.0086 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades
• Electrical Ratings: 10A current and 250VAC voltage
• Mechanical Interface: Panel mount with flange configuration
• Termination Method: Quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals
• Safety & Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability, IP20 ingress protection, cCSAus/ENEC/UL approvals

The SCHURTER 6162.0057 meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction between these parts is the panel cutout dimension specification and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 6162.0057 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 6162.0086. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications (10A, 250VAC), mechanical interface standards (IEC 320-C14 panel mount), and regulatory compliance certifications (UL, cCSAus, ENEC). The 6162.0057 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and support.

The panel cutout dimension difference (29.70mm x 22.20mm versus 27.30mm x 19.50mm) requires mechanical panel design consideration. Applications with existing panel cutouts sized for the 6162.0086 will require modification to accommodate the 6162.0057, or alternative sourcing strategies must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6162.0057 be used as a direct replacement for the 6162.0086?

A: Yes, the 6162.0057 is electrically and functionally equivalent. Both connectors meet IEC 320-C14 specifications, carry identical current and voltage ratings, and hold the same regulatory approvals. Panel cutout dimensions differ and must be accommodated in mechanical design.

Q: What is the significance of the panel cutout dimension difference?

A: The panel cutout dimensions define the opening required in the equipment panel for connector installation. The 6162.0086 requires a 29.70mm x 22.20mm rectangular opening, while the 6162.0057 requires 27.30mm x 19.50mm. Existing panels designed for one part cannot accommodate the other without modification.

Q: Why is the 6162.0086 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that SCHURTER has discontinued manufacturing this part. The 6162.0057 represents the active product line continuation with equivalent functionality.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the 6162.0086 and 6162.0057 are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What certifications apply to these connectors?

A: Both parts hold approvals from cCSAus, ENEC, and UL, with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and IP20 ingress protection classification.
