Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609032-7 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: Both parts are rated for 3 A operation
• Mounting Type: Both utilize chassis mount configuration
• Application Category: Both serve general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Product Status: Both are active production parts

The 6609032-7 provides additional specification detail including 250VAC rated voltage, 50/60Hz frequency operation, and two-stage filter configuration with IEC 320-C14 quick connect termination. These specifications do not conflict with the base Qualtek part and represent a compatible alternative for applications requiring these voltage and frequency parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6609032-7 is a qualified substitute for the Qualtek 854-03/006 based on matching current rating, mounting configuration, and regulatory compliance status. Both parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation.

The 6609032-7 includes additional certifications from CSA, UR, and VDE, which may be required for specific regional or application-based requirements. The specified operating temperature range of -10°C to 40°C and 250VAC rated voltage with 50/60Hz operation provide defined performance boundaries suitable for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application voltage requirements, regional certification needs, and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters for substituting the Qualtek 854-03/006?
