Qualtek 716-10/28 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 716-10/28 is an AC power entry connector receptacle featuring IEC 320-2-2/F female sockets with panel mount, snap-in installation. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing applications. The 716W-X2/02 serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, offering the same connector style and mounting configuration with enhanced specifications and current product availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 716W-X2/02 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style Match: Both parts utilize IEC 320-2-2/F configuration
• Connector Type Match: Both are receptacle female socket designs
• Position Count Match: Both feature 3 positions
• Mounting Configuration Match: Both employ panel mount, snap-in installation
• Termination Category Match: Both use quick connect termination (though with different pin sizes: 0.110" vs 0.189")
• Filter Classification Match: Both are unfiltered commercial designs
• Regulatory Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification

The primary distinction lies in the enhanced electrical ratings of the substitute part (10A at 250VAC) and expanded panel thickness tolerance (0.031" ~ 0.059" versus 0.039"), combined with active product status and broader approval agency certification (CSA, TUV, UL).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 716W-X2/02 is the manufacturer-designated substitute for the obsolete 716-10/28. Selection of the active part is supported by:

• Product Lifecycle Status: The 716W-X2/02 maintains active product status with 12,359 units in stock, compared to the obsolete 716-10/28
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory continuity
• Certification Scope: The substitute part carries expanded approval agency certification (addition of TUV to existing CSA and UL approvals)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Panel cutout dimensions and mounting configuration remain functionally equivalent within standard manufacturing tolerances
• Electrical Specifications: The substitute part provides defined electrical ratings (10A at 250VAC) where the original part specifications were not provided

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 716W-X2/02 directly replace the 716-10/28 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style (IEC 320-2-2/F), connector type (receptacle female sockets), position count (3), and mounting configuration (panel mount, snap-in). Panel cutout dimensions differ marginally (32.26mm x 24.77mm versus 32.60mm x 25.30mm), remaining within standard panel fabrication tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the different termination pin sizes (0.110" versus 0.189")?

A: The termination pin size difference reflects the quick connect standard for each part. The 716W-X2/02 uses 0.189" (4.8mm) pins, which is a standard quick connect size. Mating connectors must be selected to match the specific termination size of the installed part.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications. The 716W-X2/02 includes additional TUV certification alongside the CSA and UL approvals present on both parts.

Q: What panel thickness range does each part accommodate?

A: The 716-10/28 is specified for 0.039" (1.00mm) panel thickness. The 716W-X2/02 accommodates a broader range of 0.031" ~ 0.059" (0.79mm ~ 1.50mm), providing greater installation flexibility.

Q: Why is the 716-10/28 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by Qualtek. The 716W-X2/02 represents the active equivalent in the product line.

Q: Are electrical ratings specified for the 716-10/28?

A: The 716-10/28 does not provide current or voltage ratings in available documentation. The 716W-X2/02 is rated for 10A at 250VAC, establishing the electrical capability of the IEC 320-2-2/F connector style in this product family.
