6EDK1 LINE FILTER 250VAC 6A CHASSIS – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6EDK1 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters, rated for 250VAC at 6A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mount filter is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering in single-stage configuration with quick-connect termination.

The 6EDK1 carries an Obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system continuity, ensure procurement availability, and support ongoing maintenance and production requirements for applications currently utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6EDK1 are identified based on functional equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical Specifications:

• Rated AC voltage: 250V
• Current capacity: 6A
• Filter type: Single Phase
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Frequency range: 50/60Hz operation

Mechanical & Interface Requirements:

• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Quick Connect

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Approval agencies: CSA, UR, VDE (minimum requirement)
• Operating temperature compatibility

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in inductance value, DC voltage rating, extended frequency range, or enhanced temperature operating range do not preclude substitution when AC voltage, current, and core filtering function remain equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-1609034-1 (MFR Recommended Substitute)

The 1-1609034-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 6EDK1. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters and share identical electrical ratings (250VAC, 6A, 50/60Hz), mounting configuration, and termination interface. The 1-1609034-1 carries Active product status with higher inventory availability (1082 pcs in stock). This part includes DC voltage rating capability (250VDC) in addition to AC rating, providing expanded application flexibility. Operating temperature range and approval certifications (CSA, UR, VDE) are equivalent. The inductance increase from 516µH to 1mH represents enhanced filtering performance. This part is the primary selection for direct replacement applications.

FN2020-6-06 (Similar Substitute)

The FN2020-6-06 manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc. provides functional equivalence across all core electrical parameters (250VAC, 6A, single-phase, single-stage configuration). This part features extended frequency range capability (DC ~ 400Hz versus 50/60Hz), wider operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C), and Active product status. Approval certifications include CSA, ENEC, and UR. The inductance value matches the 1-1609034-1 at 1mH. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring extended frequency or temperature operating ranges beyond the original 6EDK1 specification, or where Schaffner EMC certification is required.

Both substitute parts satisfy the core functional requirements of the obsolete 6EDK1 and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1609034-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 6EDK1?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical AC voltage rating (250V), current capacity (6A), frequency operation (50/60Hz), mounting type (chassis mount), and termination style (quick connect). The 1-1609034-1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and carries Active product status.

Q: What is the difference between the 1-1609034-1 and FN2020-6-06?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical requirements of the 6EDK1 (250VAC, 6A, single-phase, single-stage). The 1-1609034-1 is manufactured by TE Connectivity and includes DC voltage rating (250VDC). The FN2020-6-06 is manufactured by Schaffner and offers extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) and wider operating temperature (-25°C ~ 100°C). Approval certifications differ slightly between manufacturers.

Q: Does the inductance difference between 516µH (6EDK1) and 1mH (substitutes) affect compatibility?

A: The inductance increase represents enhanced EMI/EMI filtering performance. Both substitute parts maintain the same single-stage configuration and filtering topology. The higher inductance value does not preclude substitution for applications requiring the specified 250VAC, 6A filtering function.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1-1609034-1 and FN2020-6-06 are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 6EDK1.

Q: What approval certifications are required for my application?

A: The 6EDK1 carries CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The 1-1609034-1 maintains identical certifications. The FN2020-6-06 carries CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. Verify that the selected substitute meets your specific application certification requirements.

Q: Can I use the FN2020-6-06 in applications with operating temperatures below -10°C or above 40°C?

A: The FN2020-6-06 is rated for -25°C ~ 100°C operation, extending beyond the original 6EDK1 range (-10°C ~ 40°C). This part is suitable for applications requiring extended temperature operation. The 1-1609034-1 maintains the original temperature range (-10°C ~ 40°C).

Q: What is the packaging difference between substitute parts?

A: The 1-1609034-1 is supplied in Box packaging. The FN2020-6-06 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and integration into production workflows.

Q: Is the 6EDK1 still available for purchase?

A: The 6EDK1 carries Obsolete product status. Inventory of 976 pcs is currently in stock, but future availability is not guaranteed. The 1-1609034-1 (1082 pcs) and FN2020-6-06 (1353 pcs) are both Active products with higher inventory levels and assured long-term availability.
