Qualtek 723-30/28 AC Power Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 723-30/28 is an IEC 320-C14 power entry connector receptacle module designed for panel-mount, snap-in installation in AC power applications. This component features male blades, twin fused configuration, and supports 10A at 250VAC. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where IEC 320-C14 compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 723-30/28 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Must be IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades in module configuration
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 10A and voltage rating of 250VAC are mandatory
• Position Count: 3-position configuration required
• Mounting & Installation: Panel mount, snap-in installation method
• Fuse Accommodation: Twin fused configuration
• Filter Classification: Unfiltered - Commercial designation
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required; additional certifications (CSA, UL, TUV, CCC, ENEC) enhance suitability

The two qualified substitutes—Qualtek 723W-X2/02 and SCHURTER 6200.4130—meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in termination type, panel cutout dimensions, and additional certifications represent design variations that do not affect functional equivalence for IEC 320-C14 applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the 723-30/28 based on electrical ratings, connector configuration, and mounting specifications.

Qualtek 723W-X2/02 is the manufacturer-recommended direct substitute. It maintains Qualtek product lineage (723W series) and is currently in active production with significantly higher inventory availability (2,837 pcs). The quick-connect termination and variable panel thickness accommodation provide design flexibility for retrofit applications. Regulatory approvals include CSA, TUV, and UL.

SCHURTER 6200.4130 provides an alternative from an established connector manufacturer with broader regulatory certifications (CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL) and IP40 ingress protection rating. Solder eyelet termination and fixed panel cutout dimensions (27.50mm x 31.50mm) suit applications requiring permanent installation. This option is suitable where cross-manufacturer sourcing or enhanced environmental protection is specified.

Selection between substitutes depends on termination method requirements, panel thickness compatibility, and regulatory jurisdiction. Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical parameters of the obsolete 723-30/28.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 723W-X2/02 and 6200.4130 be used interchangeably with the 723-30/28?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for IEC 320-C14 applications at 10A, 250VAC. Interchangeability depends on termination method compatibility and panel cutout dimensions. The 723W-X2/02 accommodates variable panel thickness (0.79mm–2.00mm), while the 6200.4130 requires 3.00mm thickness matching the original 723-30/28. Verify termination requirements (quick-connect vs. solder eyelet) against your application design.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are termination type (quick-connect for 723W-X2/02; solder eyelet for 6200.4130), panel cutout dimensions (variable vs. fixed rectangular), panel thickness range, and regulatory certifications. Both maintain identical electrical ratings, connector style, and fuse configuration.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 723-30/28, 723W-X2/02, and 6200.4130 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute has better availability?

A: The Qualtek 723W-X2/02 has the highest inventory (2,837 pcs), compared to 1,086 pcs for the SCHURTER 6200.4130. The original 723-30/28 has 639 pcs but is obsolete.

Q: Does the SCHURTER 6200.4130 IP40 rating provide an advantage?

A: IP40 ingress protection offers enhanced environmental sealing compared to unspecified ingress protection on the other parts. This is beneficial in applications with dust or moisture exposure, though all three parts are rated for commercial unfiltered use.

Q: Can panel cutout dimensions affect substitution?

A: Yes. The 723-30/28 and 6200.4130 require rectangular cutouts of approximately 27.30–27.50mm x 31.12–31.50mm at 3.00mm panel thickness. The 723W-X2/02 offers variable panel thickness accommodation (0.79–2.00mm), which may require panel modification or adapter consideration for direct retrofit into existing 3.00mm panels.
