Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6EH4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

  • Connector style must be IEC 320-C14
  • Connector type must be Receptacle with Male Blades
  • Current rating must be 6A minimum
  • Voltage rating must support 120/250VAC
  • Filter type must include EMI/RFI filtering for commercial applications
  • Number of positions must be 3

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

  • Mounting type must be Panel Mount with Flange configuration
  • Termination must be Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm)
  • Panel cutout dimensions must be Rectangular 30.48mm x 22.86mm
  • Bleed resistor feature must be present

Regulatory Compliance Requirements:

  • Part must maintain RoHS3 compliance
  • Part must carry equivalent approval agencies (CSA, SEV, UL, VDE or equivalent)

Only parts meeting all specified parameters across electrical, mechanical, and regulatory categories qualify as direct substitutes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B84771M0006A000 manufactured by EPCOS - TDK Electronics is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 6EH4 across all specified parameters. Both components share identical connector specifications, current and voltage ratings, filtering characteristics, mounting configuration, and termination method.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The 6EH4 currently maintains 1,138 units in stock, while the B84771M0006A000 has 808 units available. Procurement decisions should reflect project timeline requirements and inventory status.

Regulatory Compliance: The 6EH4 carries documented approval from CSA, SEV, UL, and VDE agencies with confirmed ROHS3 compliance. The B84771M0006A000 compliance status is not specified in available documentation. Verification of equivalent certifications is necessary for applications requiring specific regulatory approvals.

Supply Chain Strategy: Both parts are active production items from established manufacturers. Either component is suitable for new designs or replacement applications where electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B84771M0006A000 be used as a direct replacement for the 6EH4 in existing applications?

A: The B84771M0006A000 matches all specified electrical and mechanical parameters of the 6EH4, including connector style, current/voltage ratings, filtering characteristics, mounting configuration, and termination method. Substitution is electrically and mechanically valid. Regulatory compliance documentation for the substitute part should be reviewed for applications requiring specific agency approvals.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in: IEC 320-C14 connector style, Receptacle with Male Blades configuration, 6A current rating, 120/250VAC voltage rating, EMI/RFI filtering, Panel Mount Flange mounting, Quick Connect 0.250" termination, 3-position count, Bleed Resistor feature, and Rectangular 30.48mm x 22.86mm panel cutout dimensions.

Q: Are there inventory differences between the 6EH4 and B84771M0006A000?

A: Yes. The 6EH4 has 1,138 units in stock, while the B84771M0006A000 has 808 units available. Procurement timing and availability should be evaluated based on project requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: The 6EH4 carries CSA, SEV, UL, and VDE approvals with ROHS3 compliance. The B84771M0006A000 compliance status is not specified in available data. Applications requiring specific regulatory approvals should confirm equivalent certifications for the substitute part.

Q: Do both parts use the same termination method?

A: Yes. Both the 6EH4 and B84771M0006A000 use Quick Connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) blade configuration, ensuring compatibility with identical wiring harnesses and connector assemblies.
