Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 770W-00/01 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C8, Non-Polarized
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Pins
• Current Rating: 2.5A minimum
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC minimum
• Number of Positions: 2
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Filter Type: Unfiltered - Commercial

The substitute part 6160.0012 (SCHURTER Inc.) meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts share identical connector style, type, current and voltage ratings, position count, and mounting configuration. Variations in panel cutout dimensions and termination method (solder eyelet versus solder tabs) are within acceptable mechanical tolerance ranges for panel mount applications and do not affect electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 770W-00/01 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 6160.0012 from SCHURTER Inc. is an active product with equivalent electrical specifications and regulatory compliance. Both parts carry CSA, UL, and VDE approvals and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The SCHURTER component includes additional material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and ingress protection (IP20) specifications not listed for the original part, providing enhanced performance characteristics. The substitute is suitable for direct replacement in legacy system repairs and new designs requiring IEC 320-C8 receptacle functionality at 2.5A/250VAC.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6160.0012 directly replace the 770W-00/01 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet identical electrical requirements (2.5A, 250VAC, IEC 320-C8 non-polarized receptacle) and share equivalent regulatory approvals. Panel cutout dimensions differ slightly, requiring minor mechanical adjustment during installation.

Q: What is the difference between solder tabs and solder eyelet termination?

A: Solder tabs and solder eyelets are both solder-based termination methods suitable for PCB or wire attachment. The eyelet configuration in the 6160.0012 provides a defined hole for solder joint formation, while tabs on the 770W-00/01 offer a flat surface. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical connections.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimension differences significant?

A: The panel cutout dimensions differ (oval 21.00mm x 12.40mm versus rectangular 20.40mm x 11.60mm). The substitute part requires a rectangular cutout. Existing panel holes designed for the original part may require modification to accommodate the substitute.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory certifications?

A: Both parts are certified by UL and VDE. The 770W-00/01 carries CSA approval, while the 6160.0012 carries cCSAus approval. Both certifications are equivalent for North American and international applications.

Q: Is the 6160.0012 available in the same packaging as the 770W-00/01?

A: The 770W-00/01 packaging information is not specified in available data. The 6160.0012 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1603 pieces currently in stock.
