Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EAC405030 is based on the following criteria derived from the provided technical parameters:

Primary Substitution Basis:

• Functional Category: Both the main part and substitute must operate as AC power connectors within the power entry connector classification
• Connector Interface Standard: Compatibility with IEC 320-2-2/F connector style ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Electrical Ratings: Matching voltage (250VAC) and current (10A) ratings ensure safe operation within the same power delivery specifications
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount, snap-in installation method provides identical mechanical integration
• Termination Method: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) termination ensures compatibility with existing wiring harnesses and circuit board connections
• Regulatory Compliance: Certifications from CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE provide equivalent safety and performance validation across markets

The substitute part PX0695/10/63 satisfies all these criteria and represents an active, currently manufactured alternative to the obsolete EAC405030.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: PX0695/10/63

The Bulgin PX0695/10/63 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete EAC405030. This selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The PX0695/10/63 maintains Active product status, ensuring long-term availability, continued manufacturing support, and supply chain reliability. This directly addresses the obsolescence of the EAC405030.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part holds certifications from CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE, providing equivalent safety validation and market approval. The ROHS3 compliance status ensures compatibility with current environmental and material restriction regulations.

Export Classification: The EAR99 ECCN classification of the substitute part provides standard export treatment, eliminating potential supply chain complications associated with the obsolete classification of the original part.

Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: The 10A/250VAC rating, IEC 320-2-2/F connector interface, panel mount snap-in configuration, and 0.250" quick connect termination provide direct functional equivalence for power entry applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the EAC405030 classified as obsolete?

A: The EAC405030 is no longer manufactured by Switchcraft Inc. and has been discontinued from active production. Obsolete classification indicates end-of-life status for the product line.

Q: Is the PX0695/10/63 a direct replacement for the EAC405030?

A: The PX0695/10/63 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both components function as AC power entry connectors. The substitute provides equivalent electrical ratings (10A/250VAC), identical connector interface (IEC 320-2-2/F), and matching mechanical mounting (panel mount, snap-in). Verification of mechanical fit within the specific equipment enclosure is required during integration.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters for substitution compatibility?

A: The critical electrical parameters are voltage rating (250VAC) and current rating (10A). The substitute part matches these specifications. The 3-position connector configuration and unfiltered commercial filter type are also maintained in the substitute.

Q: Does the substitute part require different termination methods?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute utilize Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) termination. Existing wiring harnesses and circuit board connections are compatible without modification.

Q: What certifications does the substitute part hold?

A: The PX0695/10/63 holds certifications from CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE. These certifications provide equivalent safety and performance validation across North American, European, and international markets.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The PX0695/10/63 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements. The original part's RoHS status was not specified in the available documentation.

Q: What is the panel cutout dimension for the substitute part?

A: The panel cutout dimension for the PX0695/10/63 is rectangular - 32.26mm x 24.77mm, with a panel thickness tolerance of 0.039" (1.00mm).

Q: Are there inventory considerations for the substitute part?

A: The PX0695/10/63 is available in bulk packaging with 938 Pcs New Original In Stock. The original EAC405030 has 869 Pcs available. Both parts are currently in stock.
