Qualtek 723-15/63 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 723-15/63 is an IEC 320-C14 power entry connector receptacle module designed for panel-mount, snap-in installation. This component functions as a male-blade receptacle for AC power applications with a 10A current rating at 250VAC. The part is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for continued system support and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 723-15/63 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector style and type (IEC 320-C14, Receptacle, Male Blades - Module)
• Electrical ratings (10A at 250VAC)
• Mechanical interface (Panel Mount, Snap-In; Quick Connect termination)
• Fuse accommodation capability
• Position count (3 positions)
• Filter classification (Unfiltered - Commercial)

Two active alternatives meet these criteria: Qualtek 723W-X2/04 and SCHURTER Inc. 6200.4315. Both maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 723-15/63 while offering improved availability and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts provide direct functional replacement for the obsolete 723-15/63 based on matched electrical and mechanical specifications.

Qualtek 723W-X2/04 maintains manufacturer continuity with the original part. This option offers variable panel thickness accommodation (0.031" to 0.079"), providing greater installation flexibility across different panel materials and thicknesses. The part carries active product status with 13,155 units in stock.

SCHURTER Inc. 6200.4315 provides an alternative from an established connector manufacturer. This part specifies UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and IP40 ingress protection, both matching or exceeding the original specification. Panel cutout dimensions (27.50mm x 31.50mm) are nominally equivalent to the original (27.30mm x 31.12mm). The part carries active product status with 2,374 units in stock.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and carry equivalent regulatory approvals (CSA, UL). Selection between these options depends on panel thickness requirements, material flammability certification needs, and ingress protection specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 723W-X2/04 and 6200.4315 be used interchangeably with 723-15/63?

A: Both parts maintain electrical equivalence (10A, 250VAC, IEC 320-C14 configuration) and mechanical compatibility (Panel Mount, Snap-In, Quick Connect termination). Panel cutout dimensions are nominally equivalent. Mechanical fit should be verified for the specific panel installation.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute options?

A: The 723W-X2/04 accommodates variable panel thickness (0.031" to 0.079"), while both the original 723-15/63 and 6200.4315 are specified for 0.059" (1.50mm) panels. The 6200.4315 includes specified IP40 ingress protection and UL94 V-0 material rating. Manufacturer continuity favors 723W-X2/04; enhanced environmental protection favors 6200.4315.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 723-15/63 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The 723W-X2/04 carries CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The 6200.4315 carries CCC, CSA, ENEC, and UL approvals. Selection should align with target market regulatory requirements.

Q: What fuse specifications apply to these connectors?

A: All three parts accommodate fuses but do not include them. The 723-15/63 and 723W-X2/04 specify Twin Fused fuse holders. The 6200.4315 specifies a single Fuse Holder. Fuse type and rating must be selected according to application requirements.

Q: Is the 723-15/63 still available for purchase?

A: The 723-15/63 is classified as obsolete. While 862 units remain in stock, active alternatives (723W-X2/04 with 13,155 units and 6200.4315 with 2,374 units) provide superior long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
