F1600FA06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F1600FA06 is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Curtis Industries, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This filtered power entry module accommodates a 6A current rating at 250VAC and includes integrated EMI/RFI filtering with a fuse holder. The component is actively produced and widely used in commercial power distribution applications requiring filtered inlet connectors with screw hole mounting.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, connector compatibility, and mechanical fit can be maintained across different manufacturers while meeting the same regulatory and safety standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F1600FA06 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Standard Compliance: IEC 320-C14 receptacle configuration with male blades
• Electrical Ratings: 6A current capacity and 250VAC voltage rating for both appliance inlet and filter circuit
• Filtering Capability: Commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering at 6A
• Mechanical Interface: Three-position connector with quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination
• Fuse Integration: Integrated fuse holder with drawer mechanism
• Regulatory Compliance: Active product status with recognized certifications (CE, CSA, TUL, UL minimum)
• Environmental Classification: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The FN261-6-06 qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector style, position count, filter current rating, termination type, fuse holder configuration, and regulatory compliance framework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both F1600FA06 and FN261-6-06 maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance across CE, CSA, and UL certification frameworks. Selection between these components should be based on mechanical mounting requirements specific to the application.

The F1600FA06 features screw hole mounting, while the FN261-6-06 uses flange mounting. Panel cutout dimensions differ slightly (F1600FA06: 29.08mm x 32.39mm; FN261-6-06: 29.00mm x 33.00mm), requiring verification against existing panel specifications. The FN261-6-06 includes additional material flammability rating (UL94 V-2) and ingress protection specification (IP40), providing supplementary environmental performance data.

Both components deliver equivalent electrical performance at 6A filtered operation with identical connector interface and termination specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can F1600FA06 and FN261-6-06 be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Electrical and connector compatibility is maintained between these components. Mechanical substitution requires verification of panel mounting geometry. The F1600FA06 uses screw hole mounting while FN261-6-06 uses flange mounting. Panel cutout dimensions must be confirmed against existing installation specifications before substitution.

Q: What are the critical electrical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching IEC 320-C14 connector configuration, 6A current rating across both appliance inlet and filter circuits, 250VAC voltage rating, three-position connector layout, and commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering capability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both F1600FA06 and FN261-6-06 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: F1600FA06 is supplied in bulk packaging (755 pcs available), while FN261-6-06 is supplied in tray packaging (778 pcs available). Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts include fuses?

A: No. Both F1600FA06 and FN261-6-06 accommodate fuses but do not include them. Fuses must be sourced separately and installed in the integrated drawer-type fuse holder.
