Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Qualtek 854-05/012 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 5 A (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Product Status: Active (ensures ongoing availability and support)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement match)
• Application Type: General Purpose EMC/EMI filtering

The identified substitute, TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 5ER7, satisfies all substitution criteria through matching current capacity, chassis mount configuration, active product status, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 5ER7 qualifies as a direct substitute for the Qualtek 854-05/012 based on matching electrical current capacity (5 A), identical mounting configuration (Chassis Mount), and equivalent regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, Active product status). Both components are suitable for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications.

The 5ER7 provides additional specification detail including 250V AC rated voltage, single-phase two-stage configuration, and international approval certifications (CSA, UR, VDE). These specifications do not conflict with the original component's functional requirements and may provide enhanced documentation for system-level compliance verification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the Qualtek 854-05/012?

A: Substitution is valid when the alternative component matches the current rating (5 A), mounting type (Chassis Mount), product status (Active), and RoHS compliance level (ROHS3 Compliant). These parameters ensure functional and regulatory equivalence.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity Corcom 5ER7 be used in place of the Qualtek 854-05/012?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current ratings, mounting configurations, product status, and compliance certifications. The 5ER7 provides additional specification detail for AC voltage rating and termination style.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Qualtek 854-05/012 is packaged as a standard unit, while the TE Connectivity Corcom 5ER7 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 Compliant and maintain Active product status. The 5ER7 additionally carries CSA, UR, and VDE approvals, which provide expanded geographic and application coverage.

Q: Are there any electrical parameter differences that affect substitution?

A: The 5ER7 specifies 250V AC rated voltage and two-stage single-phase configuration. The original Qualtek part does not provide these specifications in the available data. Confirm that the 5ER7's voltage rating and filter configuration are compatible with your application requirements.
