6VG1 LINE FILTER 250VAC 6A CHASSIS – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6VG1 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters, rated for 250VAC at 6A with 50/60Hz operation. This chassis-mount filter features quick-connect termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering.

The 6VG1 carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain system continuity and ensure compliance with current regulatory requirements while preserving electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 6VG1 is determined by the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC
• Current capacity: 6A
• Frequency range: 50/60Hz
• Filter type: Single Phase
• Mounting configuration: Chassis Mount
• Termination interface: Quick Connect
• Operating temperature range: -10°C ~ 40°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Secondary Considerations:

• Configuration stage (single-stage vs. multi-stage)
• Inductance value
• Approval agency certifications
• Product status (active vs. obsolete)

Substitute parts are grouped based on full alignment with primary criteria. Configuration differences and inductance variations are noted as engineering considerations but do not disqualify substitution where all primary parameters match.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

6ET1 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters) – MFR Recommended Substitute

The 6ET1 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the 6VG1. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (250VAC, 6A, 50/60Hz), single-phase single-stage configuration, chassis-mount design, and quick-connect termination. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical approval certifications (CSA, UR, VDE). The 6ET1 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The inductance difference (18.5mH vs. 3.45mH) reflects design evolution within the same product family and does not affect substitution eligibility for general-purpose applications.

AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1 (Altran Magnetics, LLC) – Electrical Equivalent

The AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1 matches all primary electrical and mechanical parameters of the 6VG1, including identical inductance (3.45mH), voltage, current, frequency, mounting, and termination specifications. ROHS3 compliance is maintained. The part carries active product status. Approval agency certifications are not specified for this part. This substitute is suitable for applications where inductance matching is a design requirement.

F1399AA06 (Curtis Industries) – Functional Equivalent with Configuration Difference

The F1399AA06 meets all primary electrical parameters (250VAC, 6A, 50/60Hz) and mechanical specifications (chassis mount, quick-connect termination, ROHS3 compliant). This part differs in configuration, featuring a two-stage filter design compared to the single-stage design of the 6VG1. Operating temperature range is not specified. Approval certifications include CE, CSA, TUV, and UR. This substitute is suitable for applications where enhanced filtering performance is acceptable or beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6ET1 be used as a direct replacement for the 6VG1?

A: Yes. The 6ET1 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share identical voltage (250VAC), current (6A), frequency (50/60Hz), filter type (single-phase), configuration (single-stage), mounting (chassis), termination (quick-connect), and compliance specifications (ROHS3, CSA/UR/VDE). The 6ET1 is active product status, ensuring availability.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance difference between the 6VG1 (3.45mH) and 6ET1 (18.5mH)?

A: Inductance values reflect internal filter design characteristics. Both parts function as EMC/EMI line filters for the same application class. The inductance difference does not affect substitution for general-purpose applications. Applications with specific inductance requirements should reference the circuit design specifications.

Q: Is the AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1 a suitable substitute if inductance matching is critical?

A: Yes. The AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1 maintains the same inductance as the 6VG1 (3.45mH) while meeting all electrical and mechanical parameters. Approval agency certifications are not specified for this part; verify compliance requirements for your application.

Q: Why does the F1399AA06 have a two-stage configuration while the 6VG1 is single-stage?

A: The F1399AA06 represents a different filter architecture. Two-stage filters provide enhanced EMC/EMI attenuation compared to single-stage designs. This part is functionally compatible with the 6VG1 for general-purpose applications and may provide improved filtering performance. Verify that the enhanced filtering does not introduce unintended effects in your specific circuit.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (6ET1, AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1, F1399AA06) carry ROHS3 compliance status, matching the 6VG1.

Q: What approval certifications should I verify for my application?

A: The 6VG1 carries CSA, UR, and VDE certifications. The 6ET1 maintains identical certifications. The AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1 does not specify approval agencies. The F1399AA06 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UR certifications. Verify that the selected substitute meets the regulatory requirements for your target market and application.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 6VG1 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 6ET1 is supplied in bulk packaging. The AMI-M11E-1-6-D-1 is supplied in box packaging. The F1399AA06 is supplied in box packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects inventory and distribution practices.
