Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Qualtek 766-32/001 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector style: IEC 320-C14 (fixed requirement)
• Connector type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module (fixed requirement)
• Number of positions: 3 (fixed requirement)
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount, Snap-In (fixed requirement)
• Filter type: Unfiltered - Commercial (fixed requirement)
• Fuse accommodation: Yes (fixed requirement)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Termination method compatibility with solder eyelet applications
• Panel thickness accommodation within specified range
• Regulatory compliance with CSA, SEMKO, and UL standards
• RoHS3 compliance status

The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 satisfies all primary substitution criteria and maintains compatibility across secondary factors, establishing it as a direct equivalent for the obsolete Qualtek 766-32/001.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 is the designated substitute for the obsolete Qualtek 766-32/001 based on the following engineering factors:

Functional Equivalence: Both components share identical IEC 320-C14 connector configuration, receptacle male blades module type, three-position design, and panel mount snap-in installation method. Both accommodate fuses and maintain unfiltered commercial filter classification.

Regulatory Compliance: The Bulgin substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and expands regulatory approval coverage to include ENEC and VDE certifications in addition to CSA and UL standards present on the original component. The UL94 V-0 material flammability rating on the substitute provides documented material safety performance.

Product Availability: The Qualtek 766-32/001 is obsolete with no active manufacturing. The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 maintains active product status with current inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity for new applications and replacement requirements.

Electrical Performance: The Bulgin substitute specifies 10A current rating at 250VAC, providing defined electrical performance parameters for the IEC 320-C14 receptacle configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Bulgin PF0011/15/28 directly replace the Qualtek 766-32/001 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (receptacle, male blades module), position count (3), and mounting configuration (panel mount, snap-in). The panel thickness accommodation of 1.50mm falls within the original component's specified range of 0.79mm to 3.20mm, confirming mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the key electrical specifications of the substitute part?

A: The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 is rated for 10A current at 250VAC on the appliance inlet. The original Qualtek component did not specify these electrical parameters, but the substitute provides defined performance for IEC 320-C14 receptacle applications.

Q: Are there differences in termination methods between the two components?

A: The Qualtek 766-32/001 specifies solder eyelet termination, while the Bulgin PF0011/15/28 uses solder termination. Both methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly and panel mount applications. Verify termination compatibility with your specific circuit board design.

Q: What is the panel cutout dimension requirement for the substitute?

A: The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 requires a rectangular panel cutout of 27.30mm x 31.12mm. The original Qualtek component specified variable size cutout dimensions. Confirm your existing panel cutout accommodates the substitute's fixed rectangular requirement.

Q: Does the substitute include a fuse holder drawer?

A: Yes. The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 includes a drawer-type fuse holder. The original Qualtek component also accommodates fuses with a fuse holder, maintaining functional equivalence for fuse-based circuit protection.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Qualtek 766-32/001 and Bulgin PF0011/15/28 maintain ROHS3 compliance status, confirming restricted substance compliance for both components.

Q: What regulatory approvals does the substitute carry?

A: The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 carries CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE approvals. The original Qualtek component carried CSA, SEMKO, and UL approvals. The substitute expands regulatory coverage while maintaining the core UL and CSA certifications of the original component.
