TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6VAQ8F Line Filter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6VAQ8F is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 6A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mount filter features three-stage configuration with IEC 320-C14 connector and wire leads termination, designed for general-purpose applications. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for continued system integration and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6VAQ8F is determined by strict alignment of the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC minimum
• Current rating: 6A minimum
• Filter type: Single phase
• Configuration: Three stage
• Frequency operation: Compatibility with 50/60Hz operation

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Chassis mount
• Physical form factor: Compatible with existing mounting infrastructure

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance maintained
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN700Z-6-06 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings (250VAC, 6A, single-phase, three-stage configuration) and chassis-mount mechanical form factor. The substitute maintains RoHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification. Termination style differs (Quick Connect versus IEC 320-C14 with wire leads), representing a mechanical interface change that requires system-level integration assessment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN700Z-6-06 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6VAQ8F based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components provide identical voltage (250VAC), current (6A), and filter configuration (single-phase, three-stage) specifications. The FN700Z-6-06 operates across a broader frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) compared to the 6VAQ8F (50/60Hz), providing extended operational capability without compromising the required 50/60Hz performance envelope.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring continued adherence to environmental and trade regulations.

Product Status: The FN700Z-6-06 is classified as active production, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 6VAQ8F.

Integration Consideration: The termination interface differs between the two components. The 6VAQ8F uses IEC 320-C14 connector with wire leads, while the FN700Z-6-06 employs Quick Connect termination. System integration requires evaluation of connector compatibility and potential interface adaptation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the FN700Z-6-06 a valid substitute for the 6VAQ8F?

A: The FN700Z-6-06 matches all critical electrical parameters: 250VAC voltage rating, 6A current capacity, single-phase filter type, and three-stage configuration. Both components are chassis-mount designs with identical RoHS3 and EAR99 compliance status. The substitute maintains functional equivalence for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications.

Q: Does the frequency operating range difference affect substitution?

A: The 6VAQ8F operates at 50/60Hz, while the FN700Z-6-06 operates across DC ~ 400Hz. The extended frequency range of the FN700Z-6-06 encompasses the required 50/60Hz operation, making it compatible for this application. The broader frequency capability does not create incompatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the different termination styles?

A: The 6VAQ8F uses IEC 320-C14 connector with wire leads, while the FN700Z-6-06 uses Quick Connect termination. This represents a mechanical interface change that requires system-level assessment. Connector adaptation or wiring reconfiguration may be necessary depending on the host equipment design.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the 6VAQ8F and FN700Z-6-06 are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring environmental regulation adherence for both current and substitute components.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 6VAQ8F is supplied with standard packaging, while the FN700Z-6-06 is supplied in tray packaging. This difference affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Is the FN700Z-6-06 available for immediate procurement?

A: The FN700Z-6-06 is classified as active production status with 686 pieces in current inventory, providing immediate availability compared to the obsolete 6VAQ8F.
