Qualtek 764-00/001 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 764-00/001 is an IEC 320-C14 power entry connector receptacle module designed for panel-mount applications. This component functions as a male-blade receptacle with integrated switch and fuse holder capabilities, serving as the primary power inlet for AC-powered equipment. The part maintains Active product status with 679 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address application requirements, inventory availability, or specific feature needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Qualtek 764-00/001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: Must be IEC 320-C14 to ensure plug compatibility
• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle, Male Blades - Module configuration
• Number of Positions: Must maintain 3-position design
• Mounting Type: Must support Panel Mount, Flange configuration
• Filter Type: Must be Unfiltered - Commercial grade
• RoHS Compliance: Must meet ROHS3 standard
• Regulatory Approvals: Must hold equivalent certifications (CSA, SEMKO, UL, or cULus/ENEC equivalents)

The SCHURTER Inc. DC21.0023.1111 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on alignment with these core parameters. Differences in secondary features (switch illumination, fuse accommodation, termination method, and ingress protection rating) do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Qualtek 764-00/001 and SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111 maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and environmental regulation adherence. The Qualtek part carries CSA, SEMKO, and UL certifications, while the SCHURTER substitute holds cULus and ENEC approvals—both certification sets are recognized for AC power connector applications in commercial equipment.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements:

• Qualtek 764-00/001: Preferred when integrated fuse holder functionality is required or when CSA/SEMKO/UL certifications are explicitly specified in design documentation.
• SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111: Suitable when illuminated switch indication is beneficial, fuse accommodation is not required, or when cULus/ENEC certifications satisfy regulatory requirements. The higher current inventory (1106 units) may support shorter lead times.

Both parts support identical IEC 320-C14 plug interfaces and maintain the same 3-position, unfiltered commercial configuration necessary for standard AC power inlet applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111 directly replace the Qualtek 764-00/001 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application does not require integrated fuse holder functionality. The SCHURTER part omits the fuse accommodation feature present in the Qualtek design. If fuse protection is implemented through external circuit breaker or alternative means, substitution is compatible. Both parts maintain identical IEC 320-C14 connector geometry and 3-position configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the illuminated switch feature on the SCHURTER part?

A: The illuminated switch on the SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111 provides visual indication of power state. This feature is absent on the Qualtek 764-00/001. Selection depends on whether operator feedback regarding power status is required by the application or user interface design.

Q: Are the termination differences between solder eyelet and solder significant?

A: Both termination methods are solder-based and suitable for PCB assembly. The Qualtek eyelet termination provides a defined connection point, while the SCHURTER solder termination integrates directly into the connector body. Selection should align with existing PCB layout and assembly process specifications.

Q: Do the different approval agencies affect substitution eligibility?

A: Both certification sets (CSA/SEMKO/UL and cULus/ENEC) are recognized for AC power connector applications. Selection should be based on the specific regulatory requirements of the target market or equipment application. Verify that the substitute part's certifications satisfy all applicable standards for the intended use.

Q: What is the impact of the SCHURTER part's IP40 ingress protection rating?

A: The SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111 specifies IP40 protection, indicating resistance to solid objects larger than 1mm and splash protection. The Qualtek 764-00/001 does not specify an ingress protection rating. If the application requires documented ingress protection, the SCHURTER part provides this specification. For standard indoor commercial equipment, this difference is typically not a limiting factor.
