F1600CP03 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F1600CP03 is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Curtis Industries, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This component functions as a filtered power inlet with integrated EMI/RFI suppression for commercial equipment. The part is currently active in production with 960 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, filtering characteristics, and mechanical compatibility parameters align with the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FN9246-3-06 qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following aligned parameters:

• Current Rating: Both parts are rated for 3A operation
• Voltage Rating: Both parts are rated for 250VAC
• Filter Classification: Both incorporate EMI/RFI filtering for commercial applications
• Regulatory Compliance: Both achieve ROHS3 compliance and carry international approvals (CSA, UL certifications present in both)
• Frequency Range: The FN9246-3-06 operates across DC ~ 400Hz, encompassing standard 50/60Hz power line applications

The substitution is valid where the application requires equivalent current handling, voltage tolerance, and EMI suppression characteristics. Mechanical mounting differences (panel mount screw hole versus chassis mount quick connect) must be evaluated for specific installation requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the F1600CP03 and FN9246-3-06 maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental regulations. The F1600CP03 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals, while the FN9246-3-06 carries CSA and SEMKO approvals. Selection between these parts depends on mechanical integration requirements: the F1600CP03 is specified for panel mount applications with solder termination, whereas the FN9246-3-06 is configured for chassis mount with quick connect termination. Both parts are active products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN9246-3-06 replace the F1600CP03 in all applications?

A: Electrical compatibility exists based on matched 3A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and EMI/RFI filtering. However, mechanical mounting differences (panel mount screw hole versus chassis mount quick connect) and termination style differences (solder versus quick connect) require evaluation for specific installation geometry and assembly processes.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Current rating (3A), voltage rating (250VAC), and filter type (EMI/RFI commercial grade) are the primary electrical parameters determining substitution validity. Mechanical mounting type and termination style are secondary considerations dependent on application-specific requirements.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The F1600CP03 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications. The FN9246-3-06 carries CSA and SEMKO certifications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging?

A: The F1600CP03 is supplied in bulk packaging with 960 units in stock. The FN9246-3-06 is supplied in tray packaging with 936 units in stock. Packaging format may affect procurement, handling, and storage procedures.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution?

A: The FN9246-3-06 specifies an operating temperature range of -25°C ~ 85°C. The F1600CP03 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Application-specific temperature requirements must be verified against the FN9246-3-06 range if thermal performance is critical.
