Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCHURTER 6167.0012 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector style and type (IEC 320-C16, Receptacle, Male Blades)
• Electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC)
• Position count (3)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Termination method (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Filter classification (Unfiltered - Commercial)
• Regulatory compliance (UL, VDE certifications)
• Environmental rating (IP20 minimum)
• RoHS compliance status

The Qualtek 708-20/63 meets all mandatory substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications previously specified with the obsolete SCHURTER component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Qualtek 708-20/63 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete SCHURTER 6167.0012. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications (10A, 250VAC), mechanical configuration (IEC 320-C16 panel mount snap-in), and regulatory requirements (UL, VDE, RoHS3). The Qualtek component maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Panel cutout dimensions are compatible within standard manufacturing tolerances, and panel thickness accommodation ranges support both specifications. Regulatory certifications across CSA, UL, and VDE provide equivalent compliance coverage for applications requiring these approvals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 708-20/63 directly replace the SCHURTER 6167.0012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-C16), mounting configuration (panel mount snap-in), and termination method (quick connect 0.250"). Panel cutout dimensions are compatible within standard tolerances.

Q: Are there differences in panel thickness requirements?

A: The SCHURTER 6167.0012 accommodates 0.059" (1.50mm) panel thickness, while the Qualtek 708-20/63 accommodates 0.079" (2.00mm). Both specifications are compatible with standard panel mounting practices. Verify panel thickness in your application falls within the Qualtek specification range.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The SCHURTER component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The Qualtek 708-20/63 maintains active product status, ensuring reliable procurement and supply chain support for new designs and production continuity.

Q: Are regulatory certifications equivalent?

A: Both components carry UL and VDE certifications. The SCHURTER includes cCSAus certification, while the Qualtek includes CSA certification. CSA and cCSAus represent equivalent North American regulatory approvals for this component category.

Q: What inventory considerations apply?

A: The SCHURTER 6167.0012 has 619 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The Qualtek 708-20/63 has 910 pieces available. For new procurement, the Qualtek component is recommended due to active product status and higher available inventory.
