TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609008-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609008-8 is an AC Power Connector classified as a Power Entry Connector Receptacle with Male Blades, IEC 320-C14 configuration. This component is designed for panel mount applications with right angle orientation and integrated EMI/RFI filtering for commercial use. The part is currently Active in product status with 815 pieces available in new original inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across alternative part numbers within the same manufacturer series. Substitution becomes necessary when specific mounting configurations, availability, or application-specific requirements necessitate alternative connector orientations or mounting methods.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6609008-8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 3A
• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: 120/250VAC
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 3A

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)

Regulatory Compliance Requirements:

• Approval Agency: CSA, UL, VDE
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part 6609008-2 maintains full electrical equivalence and regulatory compliance. The primary distinction is the mounting orientation: the main part 6609008-8 specifies Right Angle orientation, while the substitute 6609008-2 provides Front or Rear Side Mount flexibility. Both parts share the same base product number (6609008), series designation (EJH, Corcom), and filtering characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6609008-8 and 6609008-2 are Active products manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and carry identical regulatory certifications (CSA, UL, VDE). Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and compliance standards.

Selection between these parts is determined by mechanical mounting requirements:

Select 6609008-8 when the application requires a right angle connector orientation with fixed panel mount configuration.

Select 6609008-2 when the application permits flexible mounting orientation (front or rear side mount) or when panel cutout dimensions require variable sizing capability.

Both parts deliver equivalent electrical performance at 3A current rating across 120/250VAC supply voltages with integrated commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. The quick connect termination (0.250" / 6.3mm) is standardized across both variants, ensuring consistent integration with downstream circuitry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6609008-2 be used as a direct replacement for 6609008-8?

A: Electrical and filtering specifications are identical. Mechanical compatibility depends on panel mounting geometry. The 6609008-8 specifies right angle orientation, while 6609008-2 provides front or rear side mount flexibility. Verify that the application's panel cutout and connector orientation requirements align with the 6609008-2 mounting configuration before substitution.

Q: Are the current and voltage ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 3A at the appliance inlet and support 120/250VAC operation. The integrated filter in both variants is also rated for 3A.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both 6609008-8 and 6609008-2 carry CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Both are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the difference in panel cutout dimensions?

A: The 6609008-8 specifies a rectangular panel cutout of 30.48mm x 22.86mm. The 6609008-2 accommodates variable size panel cutouts, providing flexibility for different panel thicknesses and mounting configurations.

Q: Are the termination methods the same?

A: Yes. Both parts use Quick Connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) blade spacing, ensuring compatibility with standard power entry circuit designs.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The 6609008-8 has 815 pieces in new original stock. The 6609008-2 has 846 pieces in new original stock. Both are available for immediate procurement.
