Qualtek 704-00/00 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 704-00/00 is an AC power entry connector plug featuring IEC 320-C13 female sockets with straight screw termination. Designed for free-hanging (in-line) mounting applications, this connector accommodates 10A at 250VAC across three positions in an unfiltered commercial configuration. The product is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for continued system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Qualtek 704-00/00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: IEC 320-C13 plug with female sockets
• Electrical Ratings: 10A current and 250VAC voltage capacity
• Mechanical Configuration: Three-position, free-hanging in-line mounting with screw termination
• Filter Classification: Unfiltered commercial design
• Material & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and relevant approval agencies

The SCHURTER Inc. 4782.0000 meets all these criteria, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent despite manufacturer differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER Inc. 4782.0000 is the direct substitute for the obsolete Qualtek 704-00/00. Both components share identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), mechanical configuration (IEC 320-C13, three-position, free-hanging screw termination), and material safety specifications (UL94 V-0). The SCHURTER component maintains active product status with current manufacturing availability, ensuring supply chain continuity. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and share VDE approval. The SCHURTER part includes cULus certification in addition to VDE, providing expanded North American and international regulatory coverage compared to the original Qualtek design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 4782.0000 directly replace the Qualtek 704-00/00 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters: IEC 320-C13 connector style, 10A/250VAC ratings, three-position configuration, free-hanging in-line mounting, and screw termination. No circuit modifications or mechanical redesign is required.

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

A: The Qualtek 704-00/00 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The SCHURTER 4782.0000 carries CCC, cULus, and VDE approvals. Both include VDE certification. The SCHURTER part's cULus certification covers both Canadian (cUL) and United States (UL) markets, while the original Qualtek included separate CSA certification for Canada.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The Qualtek 704-00/00 is supplied in unspecified packaging, while the SCHURTER 4782.0000 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the Qualtek 704-00/00 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the component is no longer manufactured by Qualtek. The SCHURTER 4782.0000 remains in active production, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and safety standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings. Both are classified as unfiltered commercial designs with identical electrical specifications.
