Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Qualtek 723-20/63 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Connector style must be IEC 320-C14
• Current rating must be 10A minimum
• Voltage rating must be 250VAC minimum
• Connector type must be receptacle with male blades
• Number of positions must be 3
• Filter type must be unfiltered - commercial

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be panel mount, snap-in
• Termination must be quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Fuse accommodation capability must be present
• Panel cutout dimensions must be compatible with standard IEC 320-C14 specifications

Both substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as active products with current manufacturing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Qualtek 723W-X2/04 is the manufacturer-recommended direct substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical mounting characteristics as the original 723-20/63. The 723W-X2/04 is an active product with significantly higher inventory availability (13,155 units in stock). Panel thickness accommodation range (0.031" to 0.079") provides greater installation flexibility compared to the fixed 0.079" specification of the original part. Regulatory approvals include CSA, TUV, and UL certifications.

SCHURTER 6200.4320 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining all critical electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility. This part includes IP40 ingress protection rating and UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, matching the original specification. Regulatory approvals include CCC, CSA, ENEC, and UL certifications. Panel cutout dimensions (27.50mm x 31.50mm) are within acceptable tolerance of the original specification (27.30mm x 31.12mm). Fuse holder configuration differs (single versus twin fused), which may require evaluation based on application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Qualtek 723W-X2/04 be used as a direct replacement for the 723-20/63?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-C14), mounting configuration (panel mount, snap-in), and termination type (quick connect 0.250"). The 723W-X2/04 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is currently in active production.

Q: What is the difference between the Qualtek and SCHURTER substitutes?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. The SCHURTER 6200.4320 includes IP40 ingress protection and uses a single fuse holder configuration, whereas the Qualtek 723W-X2/04 uses a twin fused holder. Panel thickness accommodation differs: the 723W-X2/04 accepts 0.031" to 0.079" thickness, while the 6200.4320 is fixed at 0.079". Panel cutout dimensions vary slightly between manufacturers but remain compatible with IEC 320-C14 specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Qualtek 723-20/63 original packaging is not specified. The Qualtek 723W-X2/04 is supplied in bulk packaging, as is the SCHURTER 6200.4320. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Do all three parts have the same regulatory approvals?

A: No. The original 723-20/63 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. The 723W-X2/04 carries CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The SCHURTER 6200.4320 carries CCC, CSA, ENEC, and UL approvals. All three are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Can the SCHURTER part be used if the application requires twin fused configuration?

A: The SCHURTER 6200.4320 accommodates a fuse but uses a single fuse holder configuration rather than twin fused. Application requirements must determine whether this configuration is acceptable for your use case.
