Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Qualtek 765-00/002 is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector style must be IEC 320-C14
• Connector type must be Receptacle, Male Blades - Module configuration
• Number of positions must be 3
• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Flange
• Filter type must be Unfiltered - Commercial
• Switch functionality must include On-Off capability
• Regulatory compliance must include CSA, SEMKO, or UL approval

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Termination method (Solder Eyelet or Solder acceptable)
• RoHS3 compliance status
• Fuse accommodation capability
• Additional features (voltage selector, illumination) do not preclude substitution

The SCHURTER Inc. DC21.0023.1111 meets all primary substitution criteria and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 765-00/002 despite product status differences and minor feature variations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Qualtek 765-00/002. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Regulatory Compliance: The DC21.0023.1111 carries cULus and ENEC certifications, providing equivalent safety approval coverage for North American and European markets. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Electrical Compatibility: The DC21.0023.1111 specifies 10A at 250VAC for appliance inlet ratings, establishing defined electrical parameters where the 765-00/002 does not provide explicit ratings. This specification ensures safe operation within standard IEC 320-C14 power inlet parameters.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical IEC 320-C14 configuration, 3-position design, and panel-mount flange mounting. The DC21.0023.1111 adds through-hole, right-angle mounting capability, providing design flexibility without compromising direct substitution.

Functional Equivalence: Both parts include on-off switch functionality and unfiltered commercial filter type. The DC21.0023.1111 includes illuminated switch capability and terminating cover features as enhancements. The DC21.0023.1111 does not include fuse holder accommodation, requiring design review if fuse holder functionality is critical to the application.

Supply Availability: The DC21.0023.1111 maintains active product status with 1106 units in stock, ensuring reliable supply chain access compared to the obsolete 765-00/002.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER DC21.0023.1111 directly replace the Qualtek 765-00/002 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where fuse holder functionality is not required. Both connectors share identical IEC 320-C14 configuration, 3-position design, panel-mount flange mounting, and on-off switch capability. Termination method differs (Solder Eyelet vs. Solder), requiring PCB layout verification. The DC21.0023.1111 provides specified electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC) where the 765-00/002 does not.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connectors?

A: The DC21.0023.1111 does not include fuse holder accommodation, while the 765-00/002 does. If fuse holder functionality is essential to the application, alternative substitutes must be evaluated. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent or compatible.

Q: Are the regulatory approvals equivalent?

A: Both connectors carry recognized safety certifications. The 765-00/002 holds CSA, SEMKO, and UL approvals. The DC21.0023.1111 holds cULus and ENEC approvals. cULus certification covers both Canadian and US markets (equivalent to CSA and UL). ENEC covers European markets. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Does the illuminated switch feature on the DC21.0023.1111 affect compatibility?

A: No. The illuminated switch is an additional feature that does not compromise electrical or mechanical compatibility. Designs utilizing the 765-00/002 without illumination will function identically with the DC21.0023.1111.

Q: What mounting options does the DC21.0023.1111 provide?

A: The DC21.0023.1111 supports both panel-mount flange and through-hole, right-angle mounting configurations. The 765-00/002 specifies panel-mount flange only. This provides design flexibility for the substitute part without limiting direct replacement capability.

Q: Are there panel cutout dimension differences?

A: The 765-00/002 specifies rectangular panel cutout dimensions of 28.50mm x 55.90mm. The DC21.0023.1111 does not provide panel cutout dimensions in available documentation. Panel cutout compatibility must be verified during design integration.

Q: What is the panel thickness requirement for the DC21.0023.1111?

A: The DC21.0023.1111 accommodates panel thickness of 0.138" (3.50mm). The 765-00/002 does not specify panel thickness. Verify existing panel thickness compatibility before implementation.
