TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609007-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609007-8 is an AC power entry connector receptacle designed for IEC 320-C20 panel mount applications. This filtered power entry module integrates EMI and RFI filtering for commercial applications with a 20A current rating at 120/250VAC. The component is actively manufactured and maintains full compliance with international standards including CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical mounting configurations, and filtering characteristics align with the original design requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609007-8 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector style must be IEC 320-C20
• Connector type must be Receptacle with Male Blades
• Appliance inlet current rating must be 20A
• Filter type must be Filtered (EMI, RFI) for commercial applications
• Number of positions must be 3

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination must be Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Panel cutout dimensions must accommodate the connector footprint

Regulatory Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained
• Approval agencies must include recognized standards bodies (CSA, UL, VDE, cUL, ENEC)

The substitute part EPCOS B84771A0020A000 meets these core substitution criteria through equivalent IEC 320-C20 receptacle configuration, matching 20A appliance inlet current rating, commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering, panel mount flange design, and quick connect termination. Both parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609007-8 and EPCOS B84771A0020A000 are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

TE Connectivity 6609007-8 is suitable for applications requiring:

• Voltage operation across 120/250VAC range
• Filter current rating of 20A
• CSA, UL, and VDE certifications
• Current inventory availability of 1030 pieces

EPCOS B84771A0020A000 is suitable for applications requiring:

• Voltage operation at 250VAC/DC
• Ingress protection rating of IP40
• cUL, ENEC, and UL certifications
• Higher inventory availability of 2160 pieces
• Bleed resistor feature with front or rear side mount capability

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and support identical IEC 320-C20 connector configurations with 20A appliance inlet current ratings and commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. The filter current rating differential (20A versus 2A) and voltage rating variations must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EPCOS B84771A0020A000 directly replace the TE Connectivity 6609007-8 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating at 250VAC/DC with filter current requirements of 2A or less. Applications requiring the full 20A filter current rating or 120VAC operation require evaluation of the specific electrical requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the filter current rating difference between these parts?

A: The filter current rating indicates the maximum current the integrated EMI/RFI filter can handle. The TE Connectivity 6609007-8 supports 20A filter current, while the EPCOS B84771A0020A000 supports 2A filter current. This difference affects the filtering performance at higher current levels.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions compatible between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 6609007-8 specifies rectangular panel cutout dimensions of 36.83mm x 26.75mm. The EPCOS B84771A0020A000 lists variable size panel cutout dimensions. Physical verification is required to confirm mechanical compatibility with existing panel installations.

Q: What certifications apply to each part?

A: The TE Connectivity 6609007-8 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The EPCOS B84771A0020A000 carries cUL, ENEC, and UL approvals. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance. Application-specific certification requirements should be verified against regional standards.

Q: What is the difference between the voltage ratings listed for each part?

A: The TE Connectivity 6609007-8 is rated for 120/250VAC operation, supporting both North American (120VAC) and international (250VAC) voltage standards. The EPCOS B84771A0020A000 is rated for 250VAC/DC operation, supporting 250VAC and DC voltage applications but not 120VAC operation.

Q: Does the EPCOS part include any additional features not present in the TE Connectivity part?

A: The EPCOS B84771A0020A000 includes a bleed resistor feature with front or rear side mount capability and an IP40 ingress protection rating. The TE Connectivity 6609007-8 does not list these features in the provided specifications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The TE Connectivity 6609007-8 has 1030 pieces in current inventory, while the EPCOS B84771A0020A000 has 2160 pieces in current inventory.
