EAC405040 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EAC405040 is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Switchcraft Inc., designed for IEC 320-2-2/F panel-mount applications. This female socket connector operates at 10A, 250VAC and features snap-in panel mounting with quick-connect termination. The product is currently active in production with 913 units in stock. Equivalent parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing, inventory constraints, or when specific manufacturing certifications are required for end-application compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EAC405040 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector style and type (IEC 320-2-2/F receptacle, female sockets)
• Electrical ratings (10A, 250VAC)
• Position count (3 positions)
• Mounting configuration (panel mount, snap-in)
• Panel cutout dimensions (32.26mm x 24.76mm ±0.01mm tolerance)
• Filter classification (unfiltered - commercial)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

The substitute part PX0695/10/63 meets all core substitution criteria. Variations in termination connector size, panel thickness tolerance, material flammability rating, and approval agency certifications are documented in the parameter comparison table and do not preclude functional equivalence for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EAC405040 and PX0695/10/63 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical performance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Termination connector compatibility: The EAC405040 uses 0.187" (4.7mm) quick-connect terminals, while the PX0695/10/63 uses 0.250" (6.3mm) terminals. Verify mating connector specifications before substitution.
• Approval agency requirements: The PX0695/10/63 carries CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE certifications. If end-application compliance mandates specific agency approvals, the Bulgin part provides broader certification coverage.
• Panel thickness tolerance: The PX0695/10/63 specifies 0.039" (1.00mm) panel thickness, which falls within the EAC405040 tolerance range of 0.91mm ~ 1.27mm.
• Material flammability: The PX0695/10/63 is rated UL94 V-0. If flammability classification is required, the Bulgin part provides documented compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PX0695/10/63 directly replace EAC405040 in existing designs?

A: Functional replacement is possible if the mating connector accommodates the 0.250" (6.3mm) quick-connect terminal size. The EAC405040 uses 0.187" (4.7mm) terminals. Verify terminal compatibility with your wiring harness or connector assembly before implementation.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical?

A: The cutout dimensions are functionally equivalent. EAC405040 specifies 32.26mm x 24.76mm; PX0695/10/63 specifies 32.26mm x 24.77mm. The 0.01mm difference in the Y-axis is within standard manufacturing tolerance and does not affect panel mounting.

Q: What is the difference in panel thickness specifications?

A: The EAC405040 accommodates panel thickness of 0.036" ~ 0.050" (0.91mm ~ 1.27mm). The PX0695/10/63 is specified for 0.039" (1.00mm) panel thickness, which is within the EAC405040 range. Both parts function across the full EAC405040 thickness tolerance.

Q: Does the PX0695/10/63 provide additional certifications?

A: Yes. The PX0695/10/63 carries CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE approvals with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. The EAC405040 does not specify approval agencies or flammability classification. If your application requires specific regulatory certifications, the Bulgin part provides documented compliance.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both EAC405040 and PX0695/10/63 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What inventory status should I consider?

A: EAC405040 has 913 units in stock; PX0695/10/63 has 938 units in stock. Both parts are currently available as new original inventory.
