SCHURTER 6167.0011 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 6167.0011 is an IEC 320-C16 power entry connector receptacle designed for panel-mount applications with snap-in installation. This component functions as a male-blade receptacle rated for 10A at 250VAC in commercial, unfiltered configurations. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 6167.0011 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Must be IEC 320-C16 receptacle with male blades
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 10A and voltage rating of 250VAC
• Position Count: 3-position configuration
• Mounting & Installation: Panel mount with snap-in mechanism
• Termination Method: Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals
• Filter Configuration: Unfiltered commercial-grade design
• Regulatory Compliance: Certifications must include UL and VDE approval

The Qualtek 708-20/63 meets all substitution criteria, maintaining functional and electrical equivalence while offering active product status and current availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Qualtek 708-20/63 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete SCHURTER 6167.0011. Selection is based on:

• Electrical Equivalence: Identical current and voltage ratings ensure direct functional replacement in 10A, 250VAC applications
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching IEC 320-C16 connector geometry, 3-position configuration, and quick-connect termination enable direct installation
• Regulatory Compliance: Both components carry UL and VDE certifications, meeting international safety standards. The Qualtek part includes CSA certification in addition to cCSAus coverage
• Product Availability: Active status and current inventory (910 pcs) ensure reliable sourcing compared to the obsolete SCHURTER part
• Environmental Compliance: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

Panel thickness tolerance variation (1.00mm vs. 2.00mm) must be evaluated against specific installation requirements. The Qualtek part accommodates thicker panel installations while maintaining the same cutout width compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 708-20/63 directly replace the SCHURTER 6167.0011 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are IEC 320-C16 receptacles with identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), 3-position configuration, snap-in panel mounting, and quick-connect termination. Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the panel thickness difference?

A: The SCHURTER part is rated for 1.00mm panel thickness, while the Qualtek part accommodates 2.00mm panels. If your application uses 1.00mm panels, verify that the Qualtek connector functions within your specific panel thickness range. The cutout dimensions are compatible (27.40mm vs. 27.70mm width difference is negligible for standard panel cutouts).

Q: Are the regulatory certifications equivalent?

A: Both parts carry UL and VDE approvals. The SCHURTER includes cCSAus certification, while the Qualtek includes CSA certification. Both certifications cover North American and international markets. Verify your specific regional requirements.

Q: Why is the Qualtek part recommended despite the panel thickness specification difference?

A: The Qualtek 708-20/63 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for IEC 320-C16 receptacle substitution. The panel thickness rating difference reflects the Qualtek part's capability to accommodate thicker panels, not a limitation. For standard 1.00mm panel applications, the part remains fully compatible.

Q: Is the unspecified ingress protection rating on the Qualtek part a concern?

A: The SCHURTER part specifies IP20 protection. The Qualtek specification does not list an ingress protection rating. If IP20 or higher protection is a design requirement, confirm the Qualtek part's environmental sealing characteristics with the manufacturer before final selection.
