TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6VDK1 LINE FILTER 250VAC 6A CHASSIS

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6VDK1 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 6A with 50/60Hz operating frequency. This chassis-mounted filter features quick connect termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering. The 6VDK1 is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active substitute components that maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for continued system integration and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the 6VDK1 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Core Electrical Parameters:

• Rated AC voltage: 250V
• Current rating: 6A
• Filter type: Single Phase
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Operating frequency: 50/60Hz or broader range

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Termination style: Quick Connect

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• Regulatory approvals from recognized agencies (CSA, UR, VDE, or equivalent)

All identified substitutes meet these core parameters. Variations in inductance, operating temperature range, and REACH status are noted but do not preclude substitution when electrical and mechanical specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 1-1609034-2

The 1-1609034-2 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. As an active product from the same manufacturer (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters), it maintains identical electrical specifications (250VAC, 6A, 50/60Hz), mechanical configuration (chassis mount, quick connect), and regulatory compliance (CSA, UR, VDE). The operating temperature range and inductance specifications are equivalent to the 6VDK1. This substitute provides direct compatibility with existing designs.

Secondary Substitutes: Curtis Industries F1700AA06 and Schaffner EMC Inc. FN2020-6-06

Both F1700AA06 and FN2020-6-06 meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. F1700AA06 maintains identical voltage, current, frequency, and termination specifications with expanded regulatory approvals (CE, CSA, TUV, UR). FN2020-6-06 extends operating frequency range to DC ~ 400Hz and provides broader operating temperature coverage (-25°C ~ 100°C), making it suitable for applications requiring extended frequency or temperature performance. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance.

Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for frequency range, temperature performance, and regulatory jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1609034-2 directly replace the 6VDK1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1-1609034-2 maintains equivalent electrical specifications (250VAC, 6A, 50/60Hz), identical mounting type (chassis mount), and matching termination style (quick connect). Both components carry the same regulatory approvals (CSA, UR, VDE) and RoHS3 compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute options?

A: All three substitutes meet the core electrical and mechanical parameters of the 6VDK1. The 1-1609034-2 is the manufacturer-recommended option from TE Connectivity. The F1700AA06 (Curtis Industries) and FN2020-6-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) are functionally equivalent alternatives from different manufacturers. The FN2020-6-06 offers extended frequency range (DC ~ 400Hz) and wider operating temperature (-25°C ~ 100°C) compared to the standard 50/60Hz and -10°C ~ 40°C specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The 6VDK1 is packaged as a single unit (packaging not specified). The 1-1609034-2 is supplied in box packaging, F1700AA06 in box packaging, and FN2020-6-06 in tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does inductance variation affect substitution compatibility?

A: The 6VDK1 specifies 516µH inductance, while the 1-1609034-2 and FN2020-6-06 specify 1mH. Both values fall within acceptable ranges for single-stage EMC/EMI line filters at this current rating. The F1700AA06 does not specify inductance. Inductance differences do not preclude substitution for general-purpose applications; however, applications with specific EMI filtering requirements should verify inductance specifications against design parameters.

Q: What regulatory approvals apply to each substitute?

A: The 6VDK1 carries CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. The 1-1609034-2 maintains identical approvals (CSA, UR, VDE). The F1700AA06 expands approvals to include CE and TUV. The FN2020-6-06 includes CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals. All substitutes meet or exceed the regulatory requirements of the original component.

Q: Is the 6VDK1 still available for procurement?

A: The 6VDK1 is classified as obsolete. However, 958 pieces are listed as new original in stock. For new designs or long-term procurement, the active substitutes (1-1609034-2, F1700AA06, or FN2020-6-06) are recommended to ensure continued availability and manufacturer support.
