Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the F2800BB03 is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC minimum
• Current capacity: 3A minimum
• Operating frequency: 50/60Hz compatibility
• Filter configuration: Single phase, single stage
• Mounting interface: Chassis mount capability
• Termination: Wire leads
• Product status: Active

The 3ET3 manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters meets all substitution criteria within this parameter set. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical mounting requirements, enabling direct functional equivalence in general-purpose applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the F2800BB03 and 3ET3 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. The F2800BB03 carries CE, CSA, TUV, and UR approvals. The 3ET3 carries CSA, UR, and VDE approvals. Selection between these parts should be based on specific regulatory requirements for the target application and regional compliance mandates. Both parts satisfy general-purpose 250VAC 3A single-phase filtering requirements with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3ET3 directly replace the F2800BB03 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (250VAC, 3A, 50/60Hz), filter configuration (single phase, single stage), and mechanical interface (chassis mount, wire leads). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and regulatory approvals. The F2800BB03 includes TUV approval; the 3ET3 includes VDE approval. The 3ET3 specifies operating temperature range (-10°C to 40°C) and inductance (36.8mH), while the F2800BB03 does not provide these parameters. REACH status differs: F2800BB03 is REACH Unaffected; 3ET3 is REACH Affected.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. F2800BB03 inventory is 1081 pieces; 3ET3 inventory is 961 pieces. Packaging format compatibility should be confirmed with procurement requirements.

Q: Which approvals are relevant for my application?

A: Approval requirements depend on target market and end-use application. F2800BB03 holds CE, CSA, TUV, and UR certifications. 3ET3 holds CSA, UR, and VDE certifications. Confirm which certifications are mandated for your specific regulatory jurisdiction and application class.

Q: Does REACH compliance affect part selection?

A: REACH status differs between parts. F2800BB03 is REACH Unaffected; 3ET3 is REACH Affected. If REACH compliance documentation is required for your supply chain, this distinction may influence selection.
