TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609031-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609031-3 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 2A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mounted filter features a two-stage configuration with quick connect termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and carries approvals from CSA, UR, and VDE agencies. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when application requirements necessitate different electrical or mechanical characteristics within acceptable parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6609031-3 are identified based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following criteria:

Critical Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage rating of 250VAC (substitute must support this voltage level)
• Current capacity equal to or greater than 2A
• Single-phase filter configuration
• Two-stage filtering architecture
• Chassis mount installation method
• Quick connect termination interface
• ROHS3 compliance status

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Operating frequency range may extend beyond 50/60Hz (e.g., DC ~ 400Hz encompasses 50/60Hz operation)
• Operating temperature range may be wider than the original specification
• Inductance values may differ based on filter design while maintaining functional equivalence
• Approval agencies may differ provided regulatory requirements are met

The substitute part FN2060-3-06 meets all critical compatibility parameters while providing enhanced current capacity (3A versus 2A) and extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz versus 50/60Hz).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (6609031-3): Select the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609031-3 when the application requires the exact inductance specification of 1.078mH or when VDE approval is specifically mandated. This part is active and maintains full inventory availability.

Substitute Part Selection (FN2060-3-06): The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2060-3-06 serves as a functional equivalent for applications requiring 250VAC single-phase filtering at 2A. This substitute provides:

• Higher current capacity (3A) suitable for 2A-rated applications
• Extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) encompassing 50/60Hz operation
• Wider operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C)
• Additional regulatory approvals (CE, ENEC) alongside CSA and UR certifications
• ROHS3 compliance matching the original specification

Both parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding inductance characteristics, regulatory approval jurisdiction, and thermal operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2060-3-06 substitute for the 6609031-3 in a 2A application?

A: Yes. The FN2060-3-06 is rated for 3A at 250VAC, which exceeds the 2A requirement of the original application. Both parts feature identical voltage rating, single-phase configuration, two-stage design, chassis mount installation, and quick connect termination.

Q: What is the difference in inductance between these parts, and does it affect substitution?

A: The 6609031-3 has 1.078mH inductance while the FN2060-3-06 has 2.5mH. Both are two-stage filter designs. The inductance difference reflects different filter topologies. Substitution is valid when the application does not require a specific inductance value as a design constraint.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges compatible?

A: The 6609031-3 operates from -10°C to 40°C, while the FN2060-3-06 operates from -25°C to 100°C. The substitute part has a wider temperature range that fully encompasses the original specification, making it suitable for applications within the original temperature limits.

Q: Do the regulatory approvals differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 6609031-3 carries CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The FN2060-3-06 carries CE, CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. Both include CSA and UR certifications. The substitute includes additional CE and ENEC approvals. Select based on specific regulatory requirements for your application jurisdiction.

Q: What is the frequency operating range difference?

A: The 6609031-3 operates at 50/60Hz. The FN2060-3-06 operates across DC ~ 400Hz. The substitute's extended frequency range encompasses the original specification, making it compatible for 50/60Hz applications.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 6609031-3 and FN2060-3-06 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 6609031-3 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the FN2060-3-06 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for component selection purposes.
