FN2310X-3-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FN2310X-3-06 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc., rated for 250VAC at 3A with DC to 400Hz operating frequency. This chassis-mount filter features quick-connect termination and single-stage configuration, designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering.

The FN2310X-3-06 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system continuity and ensure procurement of functionally compatible components for new designs or field replacements where the original part is no longer available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FN2090-3-06 qualifies as a substitute for the FN2310X-3-06 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Single-phase filter type
• 3A current rating
• DC to 400Hz operating frequency range
• Chassis-mount configuration
• Quick-connect termination style
• General-purpose application category

Voltage Compatibility: The FN2090-3-06 supports dual voltage operation (110V and 250V AC), which encompasses the 250V requirement of the FN2310X-3-06. This dual-voltage capability provides operational compatibility at the original specification voltage.

Configuration Difference: The FN2090-3-06 features a two-stage filter configuration compared to the single-stage design of the FN2310X-3-06. This represents an enhancement in filtering performance and does not restrict substitution for applications requiring the original single-stage specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2090-3-06 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete FN2310X-3-06 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The FN2090-3-06 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability, whereas the FN2310X-3-06 is obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The FN2090-3-06 carries expanded approval certifications (CE, CSA, ENEC, UR) compared to the FN2310X-3-06 (CSA, SEMKO), providing broader regulatory acceptance across international markets. The FN2090-3-06 also meets ROHS3 compliance, representing current environmental standards.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current ratings (3A), operating frequency range (DC to 400Hz), and mounting/termination specifications. The FN2090-3-06 dual-voltage capability (110V/250V) fully covers the 250V requirement of the original part.

Performance Consideration: The FN2090-3-06 two-stage configuration provides enhanced filtering performance relative to the single-stage FN2310X-3-06 design. The reduced inductance value (14 mH versus 36.9 mH) reflects the two-stage topology and does not restrict functional substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2090-3-06 directly replace the FN2310X-3-06 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current ratings, operating frequency range, mounting type, and termination style. The FN2090-3-06 dual-voltage specification encompasses the 250V requirement of the original part. Physical chassis-mount compatibility and quick-connect interface alignment must be verified for the specific application.

Q: What is the significance of the two-stage versus single-stage configuration difference?

A: The FN2090-3-06 two-stage design provides additional filtering stages compared to the single-stage FN2310X-3-06. This represents enhanced EMC/EMI filtering performance and does not restrict substitution for applications originally specified with single-stage filtering.

Q: How do the inductance values differ between these parts?

A: The FN2310X-3-06 has 36.9 mH inductance, while the FN2090-3-06 has 14 mH inductance. The lower inductance value in the FN2090-3-06 is characteristic of its two-stage configuration. Application-specific circuit analysis is required if inductance value is a critical design parameter.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The FN2310X-3-06 is supplied without specified packaging designation, while the FN2090-3-06 is supplied in tray packaging. Both parts maintain identical chassis-mount form factors and quick-connect termination interfaces.

Q: Are there temperature range considerations for substitution?

A: The FN2310X-3-06 operates from -25°C to 100°C, while the FN2090-3-06 operates from -20°C to 100°C. The FN2090-3-06 minimum operating temperature is 5°C higher. Applications requiring operation below -20°C must evaluate this specification difference.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to the FN2090-3-06?

A: The FN2090-3-06 carries CE, CSA, ENEC, and UR approvals with ROHS3 compliance. These certifications exceed those of the obsolete FN2310X-3-06 and provide compliance with current international regulatory standards.
