Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609064-3 is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Rated AC voltage of 250V or higher
• Current rating of 6A or higher
• Single phase filter configuration
• Single stage design
• Operating frequency range compatible with 50/60Hz

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Through hole mounting type
• PC pin termination style
• Physical form factor suitable for PCB integration

Compliance Criteria:

• ROHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• Recognized approval agencies (CSA, UR, or equivalent)

The substitute part FN402-6.5-02 meets these criteria with a higher current rating (6.5A) and extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz), providing equivalent or superior performance within the allowed parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609064-3 and the Schaffner EMC Inc. FN402-6.5-02 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

Select TE Connectivity 6609064-3 when:

• Operating environment is constrained to -10°C ~ 40°C temperature range
• VDE approval is specifically required
• Standard 50/60Hz operation is the sole frequency requirement
• Original equipment manufacturer specification requires EOP series designation

Select Schaffner EMC FN402-6.5-02 when:

• Extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C) is required
• Frequency operation extends beyond 50/60Hz up to 400Hz
• Higher current margin (6.5A vs 6A) is beneficial for thermal headroom
• ENEC approval is acceptable in place of VDE
• Tray packaging is compatible with assembly processes

Both parts carry equivalent regulatory approvals from CSA and UR, ensuring compliance with North American and international standards. The Schaffner part provides broader operational envelope with extended temperature and frequency ranges while maintaining identical voltage rating, mounting configuration, and termination style.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Schaffner EMC FN402-6.5-02 directly replace the TE Connectivity 6609064-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the FN402-6.5-02 is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both parts feature identical through-hole mounting, PC pin termination, 250V AC rating, and single-stage single-phase configuration. The Schaffner part has a higher current rating (6.5A vs 6A) and extended frequency range, making it suitable for the same applications and broader use cases.

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

A: The TE Connectivity 6609064-3 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the Schaffner EMC FN402-6.5-02 is supplied in tray packaging. Both packaging formats are suitable for through-hole PCB assembly; selection depends on assembly line equipment compatibility and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry equivalent regulatory status for environmental compliance in EU and international markets.

Q: Which part should be selected for applications requiring operation below -10°C?

A: The Schaffner EMC FN402-6.5-02 is rated for -25°C ~ 100°C operating temperature and is suitable for low-temperature applications. The TE Connectivity 6609064-3 is rated only to -10°C minimum and is not suitable for lower temperature environments.

Q: Do both parts support 50/60Hz operation?

A: Yes, both parts support 50/60Hz operation. The Schaffner EMC FN402-6.5-02 additionally supports DC through 400Hz operation, providing broader frequency compatibility for variable frequency drive applications and other extended-range frequency requirements.

Q: What approval agencies certify these filters?

A: The TE Connectivity 6609064-3 carries CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The Schaffner EMC FN402-6.5-02 carries CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. Both include North American (CSA, UR) and European (VDE/ENEC) certifications suitable for global applications.
