Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Qualtek 766-32/002 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

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

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Termination method compatibility with existing circuit board or wiring infrastructure
• Panel thickness accommodation within specified range
• Regulatory compliance certifications for target application region

The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 satisfies all primary substitution criteria and maintains regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Qualtek component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Bulgin PF0011/15/28 directly replace the Qualtek 766-32/002 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical IEC 320-C14 connector configuration, 3-position receptacle type, panel mount snap-in installation, and unfiltered commercial filter specification. The Bulgin component maintains functional equivalence for power entry module applications.

Q: What is the difference in termination between the two components?

A: The Qualtek 766-32/002 uses solder eyelet termination, while the Bulgin PF0011/15/28 uses standard solder termination. Both methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes. Verify termination pad geometry matches your circuit board design before implementation.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between the two components?

A: Both components are CSA and UL certified. The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 additionally carries ENEC and VDE certifications, providing compliance support for European and additional international markets. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What panel thickness does each component accommodate?

A: The Qualtek 766-32/002 accommodates panel thickness from 0.031" to 0.126" (0.79mm to 3.20mm). The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 is specified for 0.059" (1.50mm) panel thickness, which falls within the Qualtek range. Verify your specific panel thickness requirement before selection.

Q: Is the fuse holder configuration identical between the two components?

A: Both components accommodate fuses and include fuse holder functionality. The Qualtek specifies twin fused drawer configuration. The Bulgin includes drawer functionality. Confirm fuse specifications and drawer compatibility with your application requirements.

Q: What is the current and voltage rating for the Bulgin substitute?

A: The Bulgin PF0011/15/28 is rated for 10A at 250VAC. The Qualtek 766-32/002 does not specify current and voltage ratings in available documentation. Verify that 10A at 250VAC meets your application power requirements.
