Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Qualtek 858-06/025 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14 (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades (mandatory match)
• Number of Positions: 3 (mandatory match)
• Termination: Quick Connect (mandatory match)
• Current Rating - Appliance Inlet: 6A minimum requirement
• Voltage Rating - Appliance Inlet: 115/250VAC or equivalent coverage
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange (mandatory match)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: SCHURTER Inc. 5120.0203.0 and TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6ED2. The SCHURTER part provides equivalent IEC 320-C14 receptacle functionality with filtered protection and quick connect termination. The TE Connectivity part maintains identical current and voltage ratings with panel mount flange configuration and right angle orientation option.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6ED2 provides the closest functional equivalence to the Qualtek 858-06/025, maintaining identical current and filter ratings with matching panel mount flange configuration. Both parts hold CSA, UL, and VDE approvals and are ROHS3 compliant. The 6ED2 offers right angle mounting orientation as an additional configuration option.

The SCHURTER Inc. 5120.0203.0 maintains IEC 320-C14 receptacle compatibility with quick connect termination and ROHS3 compliance. However, this part operates at 4A current rating versus the 6A specification of the primary part and lacks integrated EMI/RFI filtering. The SCHURTER part holds cULus and ENEC certifications with CCC approval, providing alternative regulatory coverage. Selection of the SCHURTER part requires confirmation that the 4A current rating is sufficient for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 5120.0203.0 directly replace the Qualtek 858-06/025?

A: The SCHURTER part shares the IEC 320-C14 connector style, receptacle configuration, three-position design, and quick connect termination. However, the SCHURTER part is rated for 4A versus the 6A rating of the Qualtek part and does not include integrated EMI/RFI filtering. Direct substitution is limited to applications where 4A current capacity is adequate and EMI/RFI filtering is not required.

Q: What are the key differences between the TE Connectivity 6ED2 and the Qualtek 858-06/025?

A: Both parts maintain identical IEC 320-C14 receptacle configuration, 6A current rating, filtered EMI/RFI protection, and quick connect termination. The TE Connectivity part offers right angle mounting orientation in addition to standard panel mount flange configuration. Voltage ratings differ slightly: Qualtek covers 115/250VAC while TE Connectivity covers 120/250VAC. Both hold CSA, UL, and VDE approvals.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The Qualtek 858-06/025, SCHURTER 5120.0203.0, and TE Connectivity 6ED2 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected or affected as specified in their individual documentation.

Q: What termination standard applies to these connectors?

A: All three parts utilize quick connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) spade connectors, ensuring compatibility with standard power entry connector wiring harnesses.

Q: Which substitute part maintains the most complete feature parity with the primary part?

A: The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters 6ED2 maintains the highest feature alignment, including identical current and filter ratings, matching voltage coverage, and equivalent regulatory approvals. The primary distinction is the addition of right angle mounting capability.
