Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6609003-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 3A
• Number of Positions: 3
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI)
• Current Rating - Filter: 3A

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: 120/250VAC or 250VAC/DC
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL, VDE, cUL, ENEC
• RoHS3 Compliance

All identified substitute parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical ratings, and filtering specifications. Voltage rating variations (120/250VAC versus 250VAC/DC) do not preclude substitution, as 250VAC/DC ratings encompass the original 120/250VAC specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609008-2

The 6609008-2 represents the direct manufacturer upgrade path from the obsolete 6609003-2. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 6609008-2 maintains Active product status with equivalent current ratings (3A), voltage ratings (120/250VAC), connector configuration (IEC 320-C14), and filtering characteristics (EMI, RFI - Commercial). Approval agencies include CSA, UL, and VDE. This part is recommended for direct replacement in existing designs.

Secondary Recommendations: EPCOS - TDK Electronics B84771 Series

The B84771C0003A000 and B84771M0003A000 parts provide functionally equivalent substitution with extended compliance certifications (cUL, ENEC in addition to UL). Both maintain 3A current ratings and IEC 320-C14 configuration. The B84771M0003A000 specifically includes Medical filter classification, matching the original 6609003-2 specification. Both parts feature IP40 ingress protection and are Active products. The B84771M0003A000 is preferred when medical-grade filtering is required.

Tertiary Recommendations: Curtis Industries F3400CA03 and Schaffner EMC Inc. FN9222B-3-06

The F3400CA03 (Curtis Industries) and FN9222B-3-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) are functionally equivalent alternatives with Active product status. The F3400CA03 maintains Commercial and Medical filter classification. The FN9222B-3-06 includes a Bleed Resistor feature and IP40 ingress protection. Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for IEC 320-C14 panel mount power entry applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6609008-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 6609003-2?

A: Yes. The 6609008-2 is manufactured by the same company (TE Connectivity Corcom) and maintains identical electrical ratings (3A, 120/250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-C14), mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Flange), and filtering specifications (EMI, RFI - Commercial). The primary difference is product status: 6609008-2 is Active while 6609003-2 is Obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between the B84771C0003A000 and B84771M0003A000?

A: Both parts are manufactured by EPCOS - TDK Electronics and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The key difference is filter classification: B84771C0003A000 is rated for Commercial applications, while B84771M0003A000 is rated for both Commercial and Medical applications. Select B84771M0003A000 when medical-grade filtering is required.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences between substitute parts?

A: The original 6609003-2 is rated for 120/250VAC. Some substitutes (B84771 series, F3400CA03) are rated for 250VAC or 250VAC/DC. These higher ratings are compatible with the original specification, as 250VAC encompasses the 120/250VAC range. No derating or additional considerations are required.

Q: What does the FN9222B-3-06 Bleed Resistor feature provide?

A: The Bleed Resistor is an integrated component that discharges residual voltage from the filter capacitors when the connector is disconnected. This feature enhances safety in medical and sensitive applications by eliminating stored electrical charge.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same panel cutout dimensions?

A: The 6609003-2, 6609008-2, B84771 series, and F3400CA03 all specify Variable Size panel cutout dimensions. The FN9222B-3-06 specifies a Rectangular panel cutout of 28.50mm x 21.50mm. Verify panel cutout compatibility with your specific application before selection.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest ingress protection rating?

A: The B84771C0003A000, B84771M0003A000, and FN9222B-3-06 all feature IP40 ingress protection. The 6609003-2 and 6609008-2 do not specify an ingress protection rating. IP40 protection provides resistance to solid objects larger than 1mm and water spray from any direction.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (6609008-2, B84771C0003A000, B84771M0003A000, F3400CA03, FN9222B-3-06) are ROHS3 Compliant, matching the original 6609003-2 specification.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 6609003-2 is supplied in unspecified packaging. Substitute parts are available in the following packaging options: 6609008-2 (Bulk), B84771C0003A000 (Tray), B84771M0003A000 (Bulk), F3400CA03 (Bulk), FN9222B-3-06 (Tray). Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring Active product status with maximum compliance certifications, the B84771M0003A000 is recommended. It provides Medical filter classification, IP40 ingress protection, extended approval agencies (cUL, ENEC, UL), and Active product status. For cost-optimized designs without medical requirements, the 6609008-2 provides direct manufacturer continuity from the obsolete 6609003-2.
