TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609020-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609020-8 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 5A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mounted filter features wire lead termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering. The part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and carries approvals from CSA, UR, and VDE agencies. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent filtering performance is required due to inventory constraints, application voltage flexibility, or current rating adjustments within acceptable operating parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6609020-8 are classified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Filter Type: Single Phase
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Wire Leads
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC (primary) or dual-voltage capability (115V/250VAC)
• Current Rating: 5A or higher (6A acceptable for applications with lower current draw)
• Frequency: 50/60Hz operation
• Applications: General Purpose
• Regulatory Compliance: CSA, UR, VDE approvals

Substitution Logic: Parts are grouped as direct or similar substitutes based on voltage compatibility and current rating alignment. Direct substitutes maintain the 250VAC 5A specification. Similar substitutes provide 250VAC operation at 6A current rating, which accommodates the 5A requirement within a higher-rated component. The dual-voltage 851-05/006 substitute extends application flexibility to 115VAC environments while maintaining 250VAC compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitute - Qualtek 851-05/006: The Qualtek 851-05/006 operates as a direct substitute for the 6609020-8 at 250VAC 5A with identical frequency and mounting specifications. This part carries the same regulatory approvals (CSA, UR, VDE) and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C) provides broader environmental tolerance compared to the main part. The dual-voltage capability (115V/250VAC) enables deployment in applications requiring either voltage standard without component redesign.

Similar Substitute - Curtis Industries F1199BB06: The Curtis Industries F1199BB06 provides 250VAC operation at 6A current rating, accommodating the 5A requirement within a higher-rated component envelope. This part maintains chassis mount configuration with wire leads and carries expanded regulatory approvals (CE, CSA, TUV, UR). Selection of this substitute is appropriate when higher current capacity provides system design margin or when Curtis Industries components are preferred within the supply chain.

Similar Substitute - Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07: The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07 operates at 250VAC 6A with extended frequency capability (DC ~ 400Hz) compared to the 50/60Hz specification of the main part. This substitute accommodates the 5A requirement and provides enhanced frequency range for applications with variable-frequency drive systems or DC-biased operation. The operating temperature range extends to 100°C, supporting high-temperature environments. Regulatory approvals include CSA, ENEC, and UR.

All substitute parts maintain single-phase, single-stage configuration with chassis mount and wire lead termination. Selection among substitutes depends on specific application voltage requirements, environmental temperature conditions, frequency characteristics, and regulatory jurisdiction requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 851-05/006 replace the TE Connectivity 6609020-8 in all applications?

A: The Qualtek 851-05/006 operates as a direct substitute for 250VAC 5A applications. The identical voltage, current, frequency, and mounting specifications ensure functional equivalence. The dual-voltage capability (115V/250VAC) extends application flexibility beyond the main part's 250VAC-only rating. Both parts carry CSA, UR, and VDE approvals and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the Curtis Industries F1199BB06 and the main part?

A: The Curtis Industries F1199BB06 is rated for 6A current compared to the 5A rating of the 6609020-8. Both operate at 250VAC with 50/60Hz frequency and chassis mount configuration. The 6A rating accommodates the 5A requirement within a higher-capacity component. The Curtis Industries part carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UR approvals, providing broader regulatory coverage than the main part.

Q: When should the Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07 be selected?

A: The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07 is selected for applications requiring extended frequency operation (DC ~ 400Hz) beyond the standard 50/60Hz range. This substitute accommodates variable-frequency drive systems and DC-biased applications. The 6A current rating and extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C) support demanding industrial environments. Regulatory approvals include CSA, ENEC, and UR.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed (Qualtek 851-05/006, Curtis Industries F1199BB06, and Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the main part 6609020-8.

Q: What packaging differences exist among these parts?

A: The main part 6609020-8 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The Qualtek 851-05/006 and Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07 are supplied in Tray packaging. The Curtis Industries F1199BB06 is supplied in Box packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is determined by supplier inventory management practices.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical inductance values?

A: Inductance values differ among the parts. The main part 6609020-8 specifies 516µH. The Qualtek 851-05/006 specifies 2.9mH. The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2010-6-07 specifies 1mH. The Curtis Industries F1199BB06 does not specify inductance. These differences reflect design variations among manufacturers but do not prevent functional substitution for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Substitution is valid when the application voltage requirement (250VAC or dual-voltage capability), current rating (5A or higher), frequency range (50/60Hz or extended), and mounting configuration (chassis mount with wire leads) align with the substitute part specifications. Regulatory approvals must satisfy the application's jurisdiction requirements. Physical dimensions and inductance characteristics should be verified against the original design if space constraints or specific filtering characteristics are critical.
