Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 6609040-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (250VAC), current capacity (6A), frequency range (50/60Hz), and filter type (single phase, two stage configuration) must remain identical to ensure functional compatibility within the target application circuit.

Mechanical Specifications: Mounting type (chassis mount) and termination style (quick connect) must match to ensure physical and electrical interface compatibility with existing PCB layouts and connector systems.

Environmental and Operational Specifications: Operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 40°C) and approval certifications (CSA, UR, VDE) must be maintained to satisfy regulatory and safety requirements.

The substitute part 6VV1 meets all these critical parameters while offering active product status and improved compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6VV1 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 6609040-2. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: single phase, two-stage configuration, 250VAC 6A rating, 50/60Hz operation, chassis mount with quick connect termination, and -10°C to 40°C operating temperature range. Both components carry equivalent regulatory approvals from CSA, UR, and VDE.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status. The 6609040-2 is obsolete, while the 6VV1 maintains active product status with current manufacturing support. The 6VV1 additionally provides ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH affected status, indicating alignment with current environmental and regulatory standards.

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 6VV1 is the appropriate selection. For field replacements of existing 6609040-2 installations, the 6VV1 provides direct functional substitution without circuit redesign or mechanical modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6VV1 directly replace the 6609040-2 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 6VV1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 6609040-2 across all specified parameters. Both components feature identical voltage rating (250VAC), current capacity (6A), frequency range (50/60Hz), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect). No circuit modification or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 6609040-2?

A: The 6609040-2 carries obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 6VV1 is the active equivalent part with ongoing manufacturing support and current inventory availability.

Q: Are the regulatory certifications equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 6609040-2 and 6VV1 carry identical approval certifications from CSA, UR, and VDE. The 6VV1 additionally provides ROHS3 compliance documentation, reflecting current environmental standards.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 6609040-2 is supplied with standard packaging, while the 6VV1 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and logistics but does not impact component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the 6609040-2 and 6VV1?

A: No performance differences exist across the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The 6VV1 specifies inductance at 1.8mH, which is a documented characteristic not provided for the 6609040-2. This represents additional technical documentation rather than a performance change.

Q: Can the 6VV1 be used in new product designs?

A: Yes. The 6VV1 is the recommended part for new designs requiring a single phase, two-stage EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC 6A operation at 50/60Hz with chassis mount quick connect termination.
