This part is Active in product status and provides equivalent functional performance within the IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609006-7

The 6609006-7 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 6609001-6. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and maintain identical electrical specifications (3A at 120/250VAC), connector configuration (IEC 320-C14 Receptacle, Male Blades), and filtering characteristics (EMI/RFI Commercial). The 6609006-7 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Regulatory compliance is equivalent, with CSA, UL, and VDE approvals maintained. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are consistent across both parts. The primary design consideration is panel cutout geometry: the 6609006-7 specifies a rectangular cutout of 30.48mm x 22.86mm, whereas the original part accommodates variable sizes within a 0.031" to 0.068" panel thickness range.

Secondary Selection: Schaffner EMC Inc. FN9226-3-02

The FN9226-3-02 provides functional equivalence as a filtered IEC 320-C14 power entry connector with 3A filter rating and identical mounting configuration. This part is Active in product status and carries broader regulatory approval (CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, UL). The FN9226-3-02 includes specified ingress protection (IP40) and material flammability rating (UL94 V-2), providing additional environmental robustness. The panel cutout dimension (34.40mm x 22.60mm) and specified panel thickness (0.224" / 5.70mm) differ from the original part and require mechanical design verification. Appliance inlet current and voltage ratings are not explicitly provided in the specification data for this part.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, consistent with the original 6609001-6. All three parts carry UL approval. The 6609006-7 maintains identical regulatory agency approvals (CSA, UL, VDE). The FN9226-3-02 expands the approval base to include ENEC and SEMKO certifications, which may provide additional market acceptance in specific geographic regions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6609006-7 be used as a direct replacement for the 6609001-6 without design modifications?

A: The 6609006-7 matches all electrical and functional specifications of the 6609001-6. However, panel cutout geometry differs: the 6609006-7 requires a rectangular cutout of 30.48mm x 22.86mm, whereas the original part accommodates variable sizes. Panel mounting design must be evaluated to confirm compatibility with existing panel layouts.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 6609006-7 and the Schaffner FN9226-3-02?

A: Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements as filtered IEC 320-C14 power entry connectors with 3A filtering. The 6609006-7 is the manufacturer-recommended direct replacement from TE Connectivity. The FN9226-3-02 is a functionally equivalent alternative from a different manufacturer with expanded regulatory approvals (ENEC, SEMKO) and specified environmental ratings (IP40, UL94 V-2). Panel cutout dimensions and thickness specifications differ between the two parts.

Q: Are the appliance inlet current and voltage ratings specified for the FN9226-3-02?

A: The appliance inlet current rating and voltage rating are not explicitly provided in the FN9226-3-02 specification data. The filter current rating is specified as 3A. Confirmation of appliance inlet electrical ratings should be obtained from the manufacturer's detailed technical documentation prior to design implementation.

Q: What panel thickness does each substitute part accommodate?

A: The original 6609001-6 accommodates panel thickness of 0.031" to 0.068" (0.79mm to 1.73mm). The 6609006-7 does not specify panel thickness limits. The FN9226-3-02 specifies a panel thickness of 0.224" (5.70mm). Panel thickness compatibility must be confirmed for the specific application.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 6609001-6, 6609006-7, and FN9226-3-02 are all ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For designs requiring direct manufacturer continuity with TE Connectivity, the 6609006-7 is the appropriate selection. For designs where alternative manufacturers are acceptable and expanded environmental specifications (IP40, UL94 V-2) are beneficial, the FN9226-3-02 provides an equivalent functional alternative. Panel cutout geometry and thickness specifications must be evaluated for both options against the specific mechanical design requirements.
