Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6609985-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 6A
• Number of Positions: 3
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI)
• Current Rating - Filter: 6A

Voltage Compatibility: Substitute parts must support a minimum of 250VAC to maintain full compatibility with the original 6609985-3 specification.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain CSA, UL, and VDE approvals, or equivalent certifications from recognized approval agencies.

RoHS Compliance: All substitute parts must be ROHS3 Compliant to meet current environmental standards.

The substitute parts identified below satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and regulatory requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6EJH1

The 6EJH1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 6609985-3. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: IEC 320-C14 connector style, 6A current rating, 3-position configuration, panel mount flange design, and quick connect termination. The 6EJH1 carries Active product status and holds CSA, UL, and VDE approvals identical to the original part. The voltage rating of 120/250VAC provides extended operational range compared to the original 250VAC specification. ROHS3 compliance is maintained. This part is the direct replacement for design continuity.

Secondary Substitute: Curtis Industries F3400CA06

The F3400CA06 provides functional equivalence across all mandatory matching parameters. This part maintains the IEC 320-C14 connector style, 6A current rating, 3-position configuration, panel mount flange design, and quick connect termination. The voltage rating of 250VAC matches the original specification exactly. Filter type and current rating specifications align with the original part, including commercial and medical application suitability. The F3400CA06 carries Active product status and holds CSA, UL, VDE, and CE approvals. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. This part is suitable for direct substitution where Curtis Industries components are acceptable within the supply chain.

Tertiary Substitute: EPCOS - TDK Electronics B84771M0006A000

The B84771M0006A000 maintains the IEC 320-C14 connector style, 6A current rating, 3-position configuration, panel mount flange design, and quick connect termination. Complete specification data for voltage rating, filter type, and approval agencies is not provided in available documentation. This part may be considered where EPCOS - TDK Electronics components are preferred, subject to verification of voltage and filter specifications against application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6EJH1 be used as a direct replacement for the 6609985-3?

A: Yes. The 6EJH1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The extended voltage rating of 120/250VAC provides compatibility with both 120VAC and 250VAC applications, making it suitable for direct replacement in designs originally specified for 250VAC operation.

Q: What is the primary reason the 6609985-3 requires substitution?

A: The 6609985-3 carries an Obsolete product status. Substitute parts ensure continued component availability and access to parts with Active product status, which provide ongoing manufacturer support and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: The 6EJH1 and F3400CA06 are confirmed ROHS3 Compliant. The B84771M0006A000 compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same approval certifications?

A: The 6EJH1 maintains identical CSA, UL, and VDE approvals as the original 6609985-3. The F3400CA06 holds CSA, UL, VDE, and CE approvals, providing additional certification coverage. The B84771M0006A000 approval agency information is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the difference between the 6609985-3 and 6EJH1 filter specifications?

A: The 6609985-3 specifies Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial, Medical applications. The 6EJH1 specifies Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial applications. Both maintain identical 6A current rating for filter operation. Applications requiring medical-grade filtering should confirm suitability of the 6EJH1 against specific medical device requirements.

Q: Can the F3400CA06 be used in medical device applications?

A: The F3400CA06 specifies Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial, Medical applications, matching the original 6609985-3 specification. This part is suitable for medical device applications where the original part was specified.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The 6EJH1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The F3400CA06 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The original 6609985-3 packaging specification is not provided in available documentation.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Current inventory levels are: 6609985-3 (981 Pcs), 6EJH1 (1198 Pcs), B84771M0006A000 (808 Pcs), and F3400CA06 (1046 Pcs). All parts are available in stock quantities suitable for production requirements.
