Qualtek 723-30/48 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 723-30/48 is a Power Entry Connector Receptacle module featuring IEC 320-C14 configuration with male blades, designed for panel mount snap-in installation. This component accommodates a twin fused drawer and provides 10A at 250VAC for commercial unfiltered applications. The part is currently obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for direct substitution in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 723-30/48 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (Receptacle, Male Blades - Module), current rating (10A), and voltage rating (250VAC) must be identical
• Mechanical Compatibility: Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In), termination method (Quick Connect - 0.189"), and fuse accommodation capability must match
• Functional Equivalence: Number of positions (3) and filter type (Unfiltered - Commercial) must be maintained
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status required

Two active substitute parts meet these criteria: Qualtek 723W-X2/03 and SCHURTER Inc. 6200.4230. Both maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 723-30/48.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Qualtek 723W-X2/03 is the manufacturer-recommended direct replacement, maintaining the same Qualtek series lineage with active product status. This part provides continuity with the original design while offering improved panel thickness accommodation (0.031" to 0.079" versus fixed 0.118"). Approval agencies include CSA, TUV, and UL.

SCHURTER Inc. 6200.4230 provides an alternative from an established connector manufacturer with broader regulatory approval (CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL) and IP40 ingress protection rating. Panel cutout dimensions are slightly larger (27.50mm x 31.50mm versus 27.30mm x 31.12mm), requiring verification of panel layout compatibility. This part features a single fuse holder rather than twin fused configuration.

Both substitutes maintain full electrical equivalence and are suitable for direct component replacement in applications requiring IEC 320-C14 receptacle modules with 10A/250VAC ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 723W-X2/03 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for 723-30/48?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC), connector configuration (IEC 320-C14 Receptacle, Male Blades - Module), mounting method (Panel Mount, Snap-In), and termination type (Quick Connect - 0.189"). The 723W-X2/03 accommodates a wider range of panel thicknesses (0.031" to 0.079" versus fixed 0.118"), providing design flexibility.

Q: What is the difference between the fuse configurations in 723W-X2/03 and 6200.4230?

A: The 723W-X2/03 features a Twin Fused drawer configuration, matching the original 723-30/48. The 6200.4230 features a single Fuse Holder. Selection depends on circuit protection requirements in the target application.

Q: Are panel cutout dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: No. The 723-30/48 and 6200.4230 both specify rectangular cutouts (27.30mm x 31.12mm and 27.50mm x 31.50mm respectively), while the 723W-X2/03 lists variable size cutout dimensions. Panel layout verification is required when substituting with 6200.4230 due to the 0.20mm increase in both dimensions.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Approval agencies differ: 723-30/48 carries CSA, UL, VDE; 723W-X2/03 carries CSA, TUV, UL; 6200.4230 carries CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL. The 6200.4230 additionally provides IP40 ingress protection.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: 723-30/48 has 987 pcs in stock (obsolete status). 723W-X2/03 has 35,581 pcs available. 6200.4230 has 1,173 pcs available. Both active substitutes offer adequate supply for production requirements.
