F2600FP06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The F2600FP06 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 fused inlet connector in a single unit, rated for 6A at 250VAC. The component is actively produced and widely used in commercial equipment requiring filtered AC power distribution with integrated fuse protection.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across different manufacturers while accommodating variations in termination methods, packaging, and specific certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F2600FP06 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Standard Compliance: IEC 320-C14 mechanical and electrical interface
• Electrical Ratings: 6A current capacity and 250VAC voltage rating for both appliance inlet and filter stage
• Functional Integration: Filtered power entry module with integrated fuse accommodation
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount with flange design
• Position Count: 3-position connector
• Regulatory Compliance: Active product status with recognized certifications (CE, CSA, UL, or equivalent)

The FN261-6-06 qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector style, position count, filter current rating, fuse accommodation, and panel mount configuration. Variations in termination method (Quick Connect vs. Solder), panel cutout dimensions, and specific certification bodies represent acceptable differences that do not compromise functional equivalence in applications where the connector interface and electrical performance are the primary selection criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the F2600FP06 and FN261-6-06 maintain active product status and satisfy core regulatory requirements through recognized certification bodies. The F2600FP06 provides solder termination suitable for PCB integration, while the FN261-6-06 offers quick-connect termination for field-replaceable applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific termination requirement of the target application and the availability of panel cutout dimensions compatible with the FN261-6-06 (Rectangular - 29.00mm x 33.00mm) versus the F2600FP06 specification. Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance at 6A filtered operation and support fused inlet configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN261-6-06 directly replace the F2600FP06 in an existing design?

A: Direct replacement depends on termination compatibility. The F2600FP06 uses solder termination for PCB mounting, while the FN261-6-06 uses quick-connect termination. If the application circuit board is designed for solder connections, the FN261-6-06 requires adapter harnesses or circuit redesign. If the application uses quick-connect receptacles, the FN261-6-06 is mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Both parts are rated for 6A filtered operation at commercial EMI/RFI specifications. The F2600FP06 specifies 250VAC appliance inlet rating. The FN261-6-06 does not list appliance inlet voltage in the provided data; however, IEC 320-C14 standard compliance indicates 250VAC compatibility.

Q: What are the panel mounting differences?

A: Both parts use panel mount flange configuration. The FN261-6-06 specifies a rectangular panel cutout of 29.00mm x 33.00mm. The F2600FP06 does not provide panel cutout dimensions but specifies 0.197" (5.00mm) panel thickness tolerance. Panel cutout compatibility must be verified for the specific application.

Q: Do both parts accommodate fuses?

A: Yes. Both the F2600FP06 and FN261-6-06 include fuse holder drawers and accommodate fuses (fuses not included with either part).

Q: Which certifications apply to each part?

A: The F2600FP06 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The FN261-6-06 carries CQC, CSA, ENEC, and UL approvals. Both include CSA and UL certifications. Regional application requirements determine which additional certifications are necessary.
