Qualtek 860-06/018 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 860-06/018 is an IEC 320-C14 power entry connector receptacle module designed for panel-mount applications in commercial AC power distribution systems. This filtered power entry module integrates EMI/RFI filtering with a switch-controlled inlet, rated for 6A at 115/250VAC operation. The component is actively manufactured and maintains full compliance with international safety standards (CSA, UL, VDE). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, connector geometry, and filtering characteristics align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in compatible panel designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Qualtek 860-06/018 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades in module configuration
• Electrical Ratings: 6A current capacity at 115/250VAC minimum voltage range
• Filtering: EMI/RFI commercial-grade filtering integrated into the module
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount with flange design
• Termination Method: Quick Connect terminal interface
• Panel Geometry: Rectangular cutout dimensions compatible with 28.50mm x 39.00mm aperture
• Regulatory Compliance: CSA, UL, and VDE certifications required

The TE Connectivity Corcom Filters model 6EGG1-2 meets these substitution criteria. Both components share identical connector style, equivalent electrical ratings, integrated commercial filtering, panel-mount flange configuration, and required safety certifications. Differences in panel cutout dimensions (28.96mm x 33.02mm versus 28.50mm x 39.00mm) and fuse accommodation features do not preclude substitution when panel aperture geometry permits the larger footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Qualtek 860-06/018 and TE Connectivity 6EGG1-2 maintain active product status with full compliance to CSA, UL, and VDE safety standards. Selection between these components should be based on panel design constraints and specific application requirements:

The Qualtek 860-06/018 is the original specification component with established panel cutout geometry (28.50mm x 39.00mm) and integrated switch control without fuse accommodation.

The TE Connectivity 6EGG1-2 provides equivalent electrical performance and filtering characteristics with a slightly different panel aperture footprint (28.96mm x 33.02mm) and includes integrated fuse holder capability. The voltage rating extends to 120VAC minimum (versus 115VAC), providing marginal operational headroom in low-voltage AC applications.

Both components are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for commercial EMI/RFI filtering applications. Component selection should confirm panel cutout compatibility and verify whether fuse holder functionality is required for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 6EGG1-2 directly replace the Qualtek 860-06/018 in existing panel designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the panel aperture can accommodate the TE Connectivity component's cutout dimensions (28.96mm x 33.02mm). The Qualtek specification calls for 28.50mm x 39.00mm. Panel modification may be required.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these two components?

A: Both components are rated for 6A current at 115/250VAC (Qualtek) and 120/250VAC (TE Connectivity). The TE Connectivity minimum voltage rating of 120VAC is functionally equivalent for standard AC power distribution applications.

Q: What is the significance of the fuse holder feature on the TE Connectivity 6EGG1-2?

A: The TE Connectivity model includes an integrated fuse holder, whereas the Qualtek 860-06/018 does not accommodate a fuse. This feature addition does not prevent substitution but may require circuit design evaluation if fuse protection is required at the inlet stage.

Q: Do both components provide the same level of EMI/RFI filtering?

A: Both components integrate commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. Filtering performance specifications are not provided in the component data; filtering equivalence is based on identical filter type classification.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these substitutes?

A: The Qualtek 860-06/018 is available in 1074 pieces (New Original In Stock). The TE Connectivity 6EGG1-2 is available in 3299 pieces (Bulk packaging, New Original In Stock). Packaging format should be confirmed against procurement requirements.

Q: What certifications apply to both components?

A: Both the Qualtek 860-06/018 and TE Connectivity 6EGG1-2 carry CSA, UL, and VDE approvals, meeting international safety standards for AC power inlet applications.
