Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609008-2 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• 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
• Accommodates a Fuse: No

Voltage Compatibility: The main part operates at 120/250VAC. Substitute parts operating at 250VAC/DC are compatible, as 250VAC encompasses the voltage range of the primary component.

Compliance Alignment: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status to ensure current manufacturing support and regulatory adherence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: EPCOS B84771M0003A000

The EPCOS B84771M0003A000 qualifies as a direct substitute for the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609008-2 based on complete alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both components share identical connector specifications (IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades), current ratings (3A appliance inlet and filter), position count (3), mounting configuration (panel mount flange), and termination method (quick connect 0.250").

Voltage Rating Consideration: The EPCOS substitute operates at 250VAC/DC, which encompasses the 120/250VAC rating of the primary part. This represents equivalent or superior voltage capability for the specified application.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. The EPCOS component carries UL and cUL certifications alongside ENEC approval, providing regulatory coverage across North American and European markets. The primary part includes VDE certification. Both certifications support industrial and commercial deployment.

Filter Capability Enhancement: The EPCOS substitute includes medical-grade filtering capability in addition to commercial EMI/RFI filtering, providing expanded application flexibility without compromising commercial performance.

Ingress Protection: The EPCOS component specifies IP40 ingress protection, whereas the primary part does not specify this parameter. IP40 protection provides dust and splash resistance suitable for standard industrial panel mount environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EPCOS B84771M0003A000 directly replace the TE Connectivity 6609008-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical IEC 320-C14 connector specifications, 3A current ratings, 3-position configurations, and quick connect 0.250" termination requirements. The voltage rating of the EPCOS part (250VAC/DC) is compatible with the primary part's 120/250VAC specification.

Q: What is the significance of the EPCOS part including medical-grade filtering?

A: The EPCOS B84771M0003A000 incorporates both commercial and medical-grade EMI/RFI filtering. This dual certification does not affect commercial application performance and provides additional flexibility for applications requiring medical equipment compliance without requiring a separate component.

Q: Are there differences in mounting or panel integration between these parts?

A: No. Both components feature identical panel mount flange configurations with front or rear side mount capability. Panel cutout dimensions are variable for both parts, and both utilize the same quick connect termination system.

Q: How do the approval agencies differ between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part carries CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. The EPCOS part carries cUL, ENEC, and UL certifications. Both include UL approval. The EPCOS part's ENEC certification provides European Conformity assessment, while the primary part's VDE certification provides German standards compliance. Both certification sets support industrial deployment in their respective regions.

Q: What does the IP40 ingress protection rating on the EPCOS part indicate?

A: IP40 protection indicates the component resists dust ingress and splash from any direction. This specification is not provided for the primary part but represents standard industrial panel mount protection suitable for commercial environments.

Q: Are the RoHS compliance levels identical?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring compliance with current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production environments?

A: Yes. Both parts are active products with current manufacturing support. Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent, supporting direct substitution in production designs and field replacements.
