Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6EDL4CM are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 6A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Fuse Accommodation: Yes (Twin Fused)
• Features: Voltage Selector

Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 6A
• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: 120/250VAC or 250VAC
• Termination: Quick Connect configuration
• Panel Thickness Range: Compatible with 0.031" ~ 0.126" (0.79mm ~ 3.20mm)

The substitute parts FN372-6-22 and PE722006 meet these criteria and are classified as active products, providing viable alternatives to the obsolete 6EDL4CM.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FN372-6-22 (Schaffner EMC Inc.): This substitute is an active product with current manufacturing status. It maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 6EDL4CM across all critical parameters. The FN372-6-22 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals, providing regulatory compliance for North American and European markets. Material flammability rating UL94 V-2 and IP40 ingress protection are specified. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm environmental regulatory alignment. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry modules with 6A filter current rating.

PE722006 (Curtis Industries): This substitute is an active product with current manufacturing availability. It provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 6EDL4CM. The PE722006 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals, supporting global regulatory requirements. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm environmental regulatory alignment. The voltage rating specification of 250VAC differs from the 6EDL4CM's 120/250VAC dual rating; however, 250VAC operation encompasses the primary industrial application range. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry modules with 6A filter current rating and 250VAC operation.

Both substitute parts are active products with established supply chains, providing superior availability compared to the obsolete 6EDL4CM.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes FN372-6-22 and PE722006 equivalent to the 6EDL4CM?

A: Both substitute parts match the 6EDL4CM across all critical functional parameters: IEC 320-C14 connector style, receptacle configuration with male blades, 3-position module design, 6A filter current rating, commercial EMI/RFI filtering, panel mount snap-in installation, twin fused fuse holder, and voltage selector functionality. Panel thickness compatibility and quick connect termination are maintained.

Q: Can I use PE722006 if my application requires 120VAC operation?

A: The PE722006 is rated for 250VAC operation. The 6EDL4CM supports both 120VAC and 250VAC. If your application requires 120VAC-only operation, verify that the PE722006 is suitable for your specific voltage requirement. The FN372-6-22 does not specify appliance inlet voltage rating in the provided data.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 6EDL4CM is supplied in standard packaging. The FN372-6-22 is supplied in trays. The PE722006 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What regulatory approvals should I verify for my application?

A: The 6EDL4CM carries CSA, SEMKO, SEV, UL, and VDE approvals. The FN372-6-22 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The PE722006 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. Verify that the substitute part's approval agencies align with your target market and application requirements.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FN372-6-22 is ROHS3 compliant. The PE722006 is ROHS3 compliant. Both parts are REACH unaffected, confirming environmental regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the difference in panel thickness compatibility?

A: The 6EDL4CM accommodates panel thickness of 0.031" ~ 0.126" (0.79mm ~ 3.20mm). The FN372-6-22 accommodates 0.031" ~ 0.126" (0.79mm ~ 3.20mm). The PE722006 accommodates 0.031" ~ 0.125" (0.79mm ~ 3.18mm). The PE722006 has a marginally tighter upper tolerance. For panels at the maximum thickness limit, verify compatibility with the specific substitute part.

Q: Do all three parts support the same termination configuration?

A: The 6EDL4CM and PE722006 both specify Quick Connect - 0.110" (2.8mm) termination. The FN372-6-22 specifies Quick Connect termination without dimensional detail. All three parts support quick connect termination suitable for standard power entry module applications.
