Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6EDL4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 6A
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 6A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Fuse Accommodation: Yes

Conditional Compatibility Parameters:

• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: Must support minimum 120VAC; 250VAC support is preferred for dual-voltage applications
• Termination: Quick Connect terminals; connector gauge may vary (0.110" or 0.187")
• Panel Cutout Dimensions: Must accommodate rectangular aperture; dimensional tolerance affects installation feasibility
• Approval Agencies: Must include UL and CSA certifications at minimum

The substitute parts PE00XDS60 and PE772006 satisfy the mandatory compatibility parameters and maintain functional equivalence within the IEC 320-C14 power entry connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PE00XDS60 Selection Criteria: PE00XDS60 is an active substitute manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters, the original manufacturer of the 6EDL4. This part maintains identical connector style, type, current ratings, and filter specifications. The primary design difference is the termination connector gauge (0.187" versus 0.110"), which requires internal wiring harness compatibility verification. PE00XDS60 supports 120VAC operation and includes variable panel cutout dimensions, providing installation flexibility. This substitute holds CSA, UL, and VDE certifications and complies with ROHS3 standards.

PE772006 Selection Criteria: PE772006 is an active substitute manufactured by Curtis Industries. This part maintains identical connector style, type, current ratings, and filter specifications. The termination connector gauge matches the 6EDL4 (0.110"), eliminating wiring harness modification requirements. PE772006 supports 250VAC operation and includes panel cutout dimensions (28.50mm x 55.90mm) that align with the 6EDL4 specification. This substitute holds CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications and complies with ROHS3 standards. The fuse holder configuration differs from the 6EDL4 (single versus twin fused), which may affect circuit protection topology.

Voltage Rating Considerations: The 6EDL4 supports dual-voltage operation (120/250VAC). PE00XDS60 supports 120VAC only, suitable for North American applications. PE772006 supports 250VAC only, suitable for international applications. Application voltage requirements determine optimal substitute selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE00XDS60 directly replace the 6EDL4 without modification?

A: PE00XDS60 maintains functional equivalence for IEC 320-C14 power entry applications. The termination connector gauge differs (0.187" versus 0.110"), requiring internal wiring harness compatibility assessment. Panel cutout dimensions are variable, accommodating the 6EDL4 aperture specification. Voltage rating is 120VAC, limiting use to North American applications.

Q: Can PE772006 directly replace the 6EDL4 without modification?

A: PE772006 maintains functional equivalence for IEC 320-C14 power entry applications. The termination connector gauge matches the 6EDL4 (0.110"), eliminating wiring harness modification. Panel cutout dimensions (28.50mm x 55.90mm) align with the 6EDL4 specification. Voltage rating is 250VAC, limiting use to international applications. The fuse holder configuration differs (single versus twin fused), which may require circuit protection topology assessment.

Q: What are the critical parameters for IEC 320-C14 power entry connector substitution?

A: Critical parameters include connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (Receptacle, Male Blades - Module), current rating (6A), number of positions (3), filter type (Filtered EMI/RFI - Commercial), mounting type (Panel Mount, Flange), and fuse accommodation capability. Termination connector gauge, voltage rating, and panel cutout dimensions are conditional parameters affecting installation compatibility.

Q: Are PE00XDS60 and PE772006 interchangeable with each other?

A: PE00XDS60 and PE772006 are not interchangeable. PE00XDS60 supports 120VAC with 0.187" termination connectors and variable panel cutout dimensions. PE772006 supports 250VAC with 0.110" termination connectors and fixed panel cutout dimensions (28.50mm x 55.90mm). Application voltage requirements and internal wiring harness specifications determine which substitute is appropriate.

Q: What compliance certifications are required for power entry connector substitution?

A: The 6EDL4 holds CSA, SEMKO, SEV, UL, and VDE certifications. PE00XDS60 holds CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. PE772006 holds CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications. All substitutes maintain UL and CSA certifications, meeting North American regulatory requirements. International applications require assessment of regional certification requirements (VDE for Europe, CE for EU markets).

Q: Does the fuse holder configuration difference between 6EDL4 and PE772006 affect substitution eligibility?

A: The 6EDL4 includes a twin fused configuration, while PE772006 includes a single fuse holder. Both accommodate fuses and maintain 6A current rating. Circuit protection topology and fuse rating specifications determine whether the configuration difference affects application suitability. Electrical performance remains equivalent for standard power entry applications.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status of substitute parts?

A: The 6EDL4 is RoHS Compliant. PE00XDS60 is ROHS3 Compliant. PE772006 is ROHS3 Compliant. All parts meet environmental compliance requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
