Qualtek 869-03/006 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Qualtek 869-03/006 is an IEC 320-C14 power entry connector receptacle designed for panel-mount applications with quick-connect termination. This filtered connector accommodates male blade inputs at 3A/115-250VAC and is actively manufactured with full compliance certifications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility while maintaining circuit integrity and safety standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Schaffner EMC Inc. FN9222R-20-06 is identified as a substitute based on the following alignment criteria:

Common Parameters:

• Receptacle, Male Blades connector type
• 3-position configuration
• Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial classification
• Quick Connect termination technology
• Panel Mount installation method
• ROHS3 compliance
• Active product status
• CSA and UL approval agencies

Substitution Logic: The FN9222R-20-06 operates at a higher current rating (10A filter current vs. 3A inlet current on the main part) and uses IEC 320-C20 connector style rather than C14. This represents an upgrade path where the substitute accommodates higher power delivery while maintaining filtered EMI/RFI protection and quick-connect interface compatibility. The substitute's flange mounting and larger panel cutout (34.70mm x 27.00mm vs. 28.45mm x 21.89mm) require mechanical redesign consideration but preserve electrical filtering and termination methodology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both connectors maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. The Qualtek 869-03/006 is certified by CSA, UL, and VDE; the Schaffner FN9222R-20-06 extends certifications to include CQC and ENEC, providing broader regional compliance coverage. Both achieve ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification.

Selection between these parts depends on application current requirements: the Qualtek part supports 3A inlet current, while the Schaffner substitute supports 10A filter current. The Schaffner part includes a bleed resistor feature and IP40 ingress protection rating, neither specified for the Qualtek unit. Mechanical integration differs due to flange vs. snap-in mounting and larger panel cutout dimensions on the substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Schaffner FN9222R-20-06 directly replace the Qualtek 869-03/006 without panel modification?

A: No. The substitute requires a larger panel cutout (34.70mm x 27.00mm vs. 28.45mm x 21.89mm) and uses flange mounting instead of snap-in. Panel redesign is necessary.

Q: What is the primary electrical difference between these connectors?

A: The Qualtek part is rated for 3A at the appliance inlet; the Schaffner substitute is rated for 10A at the filter stage. The Schaffner part uses IEC 320-C20 connector style versus C14 on the main part, indicating different mating interface geometry.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for the same voltage range?

A: The Qualtek 869-03/006 specifies 115/250VAC. The Schaffner FN9222R-20-06 does not provide explicit voltage rating in the available parameters but maintains commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering consistent with industrial AC power applications.

Q: Do both connectors provide EMI/RFI filtering?

A: Yes. Both are classified as Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial and include quick-connect termination for filtered power entry applications.

Q: What certifications apply to each connector?

A: Qualtek 869-03/006 holds CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Schaffner FN9222R-20-06 holds CQC, CSA, ENEC, and UL approvals. Both are ROHS3 compliant.
