Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Qualtek 762-18/004 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector style and type (IEC 320-C14, Receptacle, Male Blades - Module)
• Number of positions (3)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Termination method (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 66.04mm x 27.00mm)
• Panel thickness tolerance (0.040" ~ 0.070")
• Integrated features (On-Off switch, Fuse holder, Voltage selector)
• Filter classification (Unfiltered - Commercial)
• Regulatory approvals (CSA, SEMKO, UL)
• Environmental compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The Qualtek 762-18/002 meets all these criteria and serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete 762-18/004.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Qualtek 762-18/002 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 762-18/004. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, panel mounting dimensions, termination method, and integrated switching and fuse holder functionality. The 762-18/002 carries active product status with full regulatory compliance (CSA, SEMKO, UL certifications) and ROHS3 environmental compliance. Selection of the 762-18/002 ensures continuity of design specifications while transitioning from an obsolete component to an actively supported equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 762-18/002 directly replace the 762-18/004 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 762-18/002 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 762-18/004. Panel cutout dimensions, mounting method, termination configuration, and all integrated features are equivalent. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 762-18/004 and 762-18/002?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 762-18/004 is obsolete, while the 762-18/002 is active. All technical specifications, including connector style, mounting type, panel dimensions, and regulatory approvals, are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 762-18/004 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 762-18/002 is available in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 762-18/004 and 762-18/002 carry identical approvals from CSA, SEMKO, and UL, and both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What panel dimensions are required for installation?

A: Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 66.04mm x 27.00mm and accommodate panel thickness between 0.040" and 0.070" (1.02mm to 1.78mm).
