Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6609985-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector style must be IEC 320-C14
• Connector type must be Receptacle with Male Blades
• Current rating must be 15A minimum
• Voltage rating must support 250VAC operation
• Number of positions must be 3
• Filter type must be Filtered (EMI, RFI) for Commercial and Medical applications
• Filter current rating must be 15A

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type must be Panel Mount with Flange
• Termination must be Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Features must support Front or Rear Side Mount

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliance required
• Approval agencies must include UL and CSA certifications

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Parts meeting electrical and mechanical requirements but with extended voltage ratings or additional certifications are classified as compatible alternatives.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609008-5 (MFR Recommended Substitute)

The 6609008-5 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 6609985-5. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: IEC 320-C14 connector style, 15A current rating, 250VAC voltage support (with extended 120VAC capability in the substitute), 3-position configuration, filtered EMI/RFI protection, panel mount flange design, and quick connect termination. The 6609008-5 maintains active product status and holds equivalent regulatory certifications (CSA, UL, VDE) and ROHS3 compliance. This part is the primary selection for direct replacement applications.

EPCOS - TDK Electronics B84771M0015A000 (Compatible Alternative)

The B84771M0015A000 provides functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This part maintains the IEC 320-C14 connector configuration, 15A current and filter ratings, 3-position design, filtered EMI/RFI protection, panel mount flange mounting, and quick connect termination. The voltage rating extends to 250VAC/DC operation, providing broader application compatibility. Regulatory certifications include CSA, cUL, ENEC, and UL approvals, with ROHS3 compliance. An additional IP40 ingress protection rating is specified. This part is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and where the extended voltage rating and ingress protection rating provide design advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6609008-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 6609985-5?

A: Yes. The 6609008-5 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and meets all electrical, mechanical, and regulatory requirements of the 6609985-5. Both parts share identical connector style (IEC 320-C14), current ratings (15A), voltage support (250VAC), position count (3), filter type (EMI/RFI - Commercial, Medical), mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Flange), and termination method (Quick Connect - 0.250"). Regulatory certifications and RoHS3 compliance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the 6609008-5 and B84771M0015A000?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements of the 6609985-5. The primary differences are: (1) Manufacturer - 6609008-5 is TE Connectivity Corcom Filters; B84771M0015A000 is EPCOS - TDK Electronics; (2) Voltage rating - 6609008-5 supports 120/250VAC; B84771M0015A000 supports 250VAC/DC; (3) Ingress Protection - B84771M0015A000 specifies IP40 rating; 6609008-5 does not specify an ingress protection rating; (4) Regulatory certifications - B84771M0015A000 includes ENEC and cUL in addition to CSA and UL; (5) Packaging - 6609008-5 is supplied in Bulk; B84771M0015A000 is supplied in Tray.

Q: Are there any voltage compatibility concerns when substituting the 6609985-5?

A: The 6609985-5 is rated for 250VAC operation. The 6609008-5 supports both 120/250VAC, providing backward compatibility with the original specification. The B84771M0015A000 supports 250VAC/DC operation, also maintaining compatibility with the original 250VAC requirement. Both substitutes are suitable for applications designed for the original 250VAC specification.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 6609008-5 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The B84771M0015A000 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection should be based on procurement and inventory management requirements for your application.
