Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Qualtek 717-00/63 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type classification: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination standard: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Panel cutout dimensions: Rectangular - 32.26mm x 24.77mm
• Filter classification: Unfiltered - Commercial
• Regulatory compliance: CSA and UL approval

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6ESRF-3 meets these substitution criteria. While the connector style differs (IEC 320-C14 versus IEC 320-2-2/H), the mechanical mounting interface, termination method, panel cutout dimensions, and regulatory approvals align with the functional requirements for panel-mounted power entry applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6ESRF-3 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the Qualtek 717-00/63 is obsolete. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry CSA and UL approvals, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial AC power connector applications.

The substitute part provides expanded regulatory coverage through additional VDE approval. The mechanical interface parameters—panel cutout dimensions, mounting configuration, and termination method—are functionally equivalent, supporting direct panel integration in existing equipment designs.

The primary distinction is the connector style specification and position count. Selection should be based on the specific IEC connector interface requirements of the target application and the electrical characteristics needed for the power inlet circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity Corcom 6ESRF-3 directly replace the Qualtek 717-00/63 in existing equipment?

A: Direct mechanical replacement is supported due to matching panel cutout dimensions, mounting type, and termination method. Connector style compatibility must be verified against the mating plug connector in the specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the different connector styles (IEC 320-2-2/H versus IEC 320-C14)?

A: These represent different IEC 60320 connector standards. The IEC 320-C14 used in the substitute part is a three-position configuration, while the original IEC 320-2-2/H is a two-position configuration. Mating compatibility depends on the plug connector present in the equipment.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: The substitute part specifies 15A at 250VAC. The original part does not provide electrical ratings in the available documentation. Application requirements should determine if the substitute's electrical specifications are suitable.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The Qualtek 717-00/63 is available in standard packaging. The TE Connectivity Corcom 6ESRF-3 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both components are ROHS3 compliant and meet REACH requirements.
