Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Qualtek 853-10/018 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 10 A minimum
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount configuration
• Filter Classification: EMC/EMI line filter for general-purpose use
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and active product status

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 10VK6 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on matching current capacity (10 A), identical mounting type (Chassis Mount), and equivalent filter application (Single Phase EMC/EMI). Both parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 10VK6 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Qualtek 853-10/018. Both components maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part provides additional specification definition including 250V AC rating, 50/60Hz operating frequency, and recognized international certifications (CSA, UR, VDE), which support broader application compatibility. Current capacity and chassis mount configuration are identical between both parts, confirming mechanical and electrical interchangeability within general-purpose filtering applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if the TE Connectivity Corcom 10VK6 can replace the Qualtek 853-10/018?

A: Substitution is valid when current rating (10 A), mounting type (Chassis Mount), and filter classification (EMC/EMI line filter) are equivalent. Both parts meet these criteria and maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Does the 250V AC rating of the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute part's 250V AC rating is a higher specification than the main part's unspecified voltage rating, making it suitable for equivalent or lower-voltage applications within general-purpose use.

Q: Are there mechanical differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part specifies Threaded Post (8-32) termination, whereas the main part does not specify termination style. Verify mounting hole and post specifications in your application before final selection.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance value listed for the substitute?

A: The 495µH inductance value is a defined electrical characteristic of the substitute part. This parameter is not specified for the main part but represents the filtering performance of the substitute in its operating range.

Q: Do both parts have the same regulatory approvals?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part carries additional certifications (CSA, UR, VDE), providing broader regulatory acceptance in different markets and applications.
