F2500CA06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F2500CA06 is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Curtis Industries, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This filtered power entry module combines EMI/RFI filtering with a male blade receptacle configuration, rated for 6A at 250VAC. The product is currently active and widely used in commercial appliance inlet applications requiring filtered power entry with quick connect termination.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and filtering characteristics align with the main part's functional requirements, enabling component interchangeability in design and procurement workflows.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F2500CA06 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades
• Electrical Ratings: 6A current capacity and 250VAC voltage rating
• Filtering: EMI/RFI commercial-grade filtering at 6A
• Mechanical Interface: Panel mount, flange, right angle configuration with quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination
• Position Count: 3-position connector
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and active product status

The substitute part FN9226-6-06 meets these core substitution criteria through identical connector style, mounting configuration, filtering specification, termination type, and position count. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the F2500CA06 and FN9226-6-06 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Approval Agency Coverage: The F2500CA06 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The FN9226-6-06 carries CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, and UL approvals. Verify that the required certifications for your application are present in the selected part.

Ingress Protection: The FN9226-6-06 specifies IP40 ingress protection, while the F2500CA06 does not specify this parameter. If IP40 protection is required, the FN9226-6-06 provides this specification.

Material Flammability: The FN9226-6-06 specifies UL94 V-2 material flammability rating. The F2500CA06 does not specify this parameter. If material flammability certification is required, the FN9226-6-06 provides this specification.

Panel Cutout Dimensions: The FN9226-6-06 specifies rectangular panel cutout dimensions of 34.40mm x 22.60mm. The F2500CA06 lists variable size. Confirm panel cutout compatibility with your mechanical design.

Packaging Format: The F2500CA06 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the FN9226-6-06 is supplied in tray packaging. Consider procurement and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN9226-6-06 directly replace the F2500CA06 in my design?

A: Both parts share identical IEC 320-C14 connector style, 6A/250VAC ratings, 3-position configuration, commercial EMI/RFI filtering, panel mount flange right angle mounting, and quick connect 0.250" termination. Verify that the FN9226-6-06's specified certifications (CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, UL), IP40 ingress protection, UL94 V-2 flammability rating, and 34.40mm x 22.60mm panel cutout dimensions meet your application requirements.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that determine substitution?

A: The critical electrical parameters are 6A current rating, 250VAC voltage rating, and commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. Both parts meet these specifications identically.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: Both parts use identical panel mount flange right angle configuration and quick connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination. The FN9226-6-06 specifies a rectangular panel cutout of 34.40mm x 22.60mm. Confirm this dimension matches your panel design.

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

A: The F2500CA06 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the FN9226-6-06 is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical function.

Q: Which certifications should I prioritize for my application?

A: The F2500CA06 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The FN9226-6-06 carries CSA, ENEC, SEMKO, and UL approvals. Select the part whose certification set aligns with your regional and application-specific requirements.

Q: Does the FN9226-6-06 provide additional environmental protection?

A: Yes. The FN9226-6-06 specifies IP40 ingress protection and UL94 V-2 material flammability rating. The F2500CA06 does not specify these parameters. If environmental protection or material flammability certification is required, the FN9226-6-06 provides these specifications.
