TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6EF2F Power Entry Connector

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6EF2F is an AC power entry connector receptacle designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This filtered power entry connector integrates EMI and RFI filtering for commercial applications, rated at 6A and 120/250VAC. The connector features quick connect termination and is housed in a shielded enclosure with right-angle orientation. The product maintains active status with full compliance to RoHS3 and international approval agencies including CSA, UL, and VDE. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified for applications requiring alternative termination methods, packaging configurations, or panel cutout specifications while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6EF2F is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters: IEC 320-C14 connector style, receptacle configuration with male blades, 6A current rating at 120/250VAC, 3-position design, commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering, panel mount flange orientation with right-angle configuration, and panel cutout compatibility. Substitute parts must maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct functional replacement.

Two substitute parts are identified based on these criteria:

857-06/048 (Qualtek): Maintains IEC 320-C14 style, 6A rating, 115/250VAC voltage, 3-position configuration, commercial EMI/RFI filtering, and panel mount flange with right-angle orientation. Primary difference is solder termination instead of quick connect, and panel cutout dimensions of 30.50mm x 22.86mm (0.02mm variance in width). Mounting method includes through-hole solder termination.

FN9226-6-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.): Maintains IEC 320-C14 style, 6A filter current rating, 3-position configuration, commercial EMI/RFI filtering, panel mount flange with right-angle orientation, and quick connect termination matching the main part. Differences include panel cutout dimensions of 34.40mm x 22.60mm, IP40 ingress protection rating, UL94 V-2 material flammability rating, and expanded approval agencies (CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, UL).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and international regulatory approvals. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by termination method requirements and panel cutout specifications.

6EF2F (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters): Select this part for applications requiring quick connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) blade spacing and panel cutout dimensions of 30.48mm x 22.86mm. Approved by CSA, UL, and VDE.

857-06/048 (Qualtek): Select this part for applications requiring solder termination with through-hole mounting and panel cutout dimensions of 30.50mm x 22.86mm. The 0.02mm width variance in panel cutout is negligible for standard panel fabrication tolerances. Approved by CSA, UL, and VDE. This part is suitable for permanent PCB-mounted installations where solder termination is preferred over quick connect.

FN9226-6-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.): Select this part for applications requiring quick connect termination with panel cutout dimensions of 34.40mm x 22.60mm and enhanced environmental protection (IP40 ingress protection rating). This part includes UL94 V-2 material flammability rating and expanded approval agencies (ENEC, SEMKO). Suitable for applications requiring higher environmental specifications or broader international compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 857-06/048 be used as a direct replacement for the 6EF2F?

A: The 857-06/048 is electrically and mechanically compatible as a substitute, maintaining the same IEC 320-C14 connector style, 6A current rating, 3-position configuration, and commercial EMI/RFI filtering. However, the primary difference is termination method: the 857-06/048 uses solder termination with through-hole mounting, while the 6EF2F uses quick connect termination. Panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.02mm in width (30.50mm vs. 30.48mm), which is within standard fabrication tolerances. Selection depends on whether solder or quick connect termination is required for the application.

Q: What are the panel cutout dimension differences between these parts?

A: The 6EF2F requires a rectangular panel cutout of 30.48mm x 22.86mm. The 857-06/048 requires 30.50mm x 22.86mm (0.02mm wider). The FN9226-6-06 requires 34.40mm x 22.60mm (3.92mm wider and 0.26mm narrower). Panel cutout compatibility must be verified before selection, as existing panel openings may not accommodate all three options.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts are RoHS3 compliant and maintain REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the difference in approval agencies between these parts?

A: The 6EF2F and 857-06/048 are approved by CSA, UL, and VDE. The FN9226-6-06 is approved by CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, and UL, providing broader international regulatory coverage including European and Swedish certifications.

Q: Can the FN9226-6-06 be used in applications requiring the exact panel cutout dimensions of the 6EF2F?

A: No. The FN9226-6-06 requires panel cutout dimensions of 34.40mm x 22.60mm, which differs significantly from the 6EF2F specification of 30.48mm x 22.86mm. Existing panel openings designed for the 6EF2F cannot accommodate the FN9226-6-06 without panel modification.

Q: What is the voltage rating difference between the 6EF2F and 857-06/048?

A: The 6EF2F is rated at 120/250VAC, while the 857-06/048 is rated at 115/250VAC. Both ratings are compatible with standard North American and international AC power supplies operating at 120VAC or 115VAC input. The 5VAC difference is within typical utility voltage variation tolerances.

Q: Does the FN9226-6-06 include the same shielding features as the 6EF2F?

A: The 6EF2F is explicitly specified as shielded. The FN9226-6-06 does not list shielding in its feature specifications. Both parts include commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. If shielding is a critical requirement, the 6EF2F or 857-06/048 should be selected.

Q: What is the significance of the IP40 ingress protection rating on the FN9226-6-06?

A: The FN9226-6-06 includes an IP40 ingress protection rating, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water spray from any direction. The 6EF2F and 857-06/048 do not specify ingress protection ratings. The IP40 rating on the FN9226-6-06 makes it suitable for applications with higher environmental exposure requirements.
