FN2360W-3-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FN2360W-3-06 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc., rated for 250VAC at 3A with a two-stage configuration and quick connect termination. This chassis-mount filter operates across DC to 400Hz frequency range and is designed for general-purpose applications. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FN2360W-3-06 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Filter Type & Configuration: Single Phase, Two Stage architecture
• Current Rating: 3 A nominal capacity
• Frequency Operating Range: DC ~ 400Hz
• Mounting & Termination: Chassis Mount with Quick Connect interface
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 100°C
• Voltage Compatibility: The main part operates at 250VAC; substitute parts must support this voltage rating

The FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06 meet these core substitution criteria. Both are single-phase, two-stage line filters rated for 3A operation across DC to 400Hz, with identical mounting and termination specifications. Both support 250VAC operation (in addition to 110VAC capability), matching the primary voltage requirement of the FN2360W-3-06. Operating temperature ranges and quick connect termination are identical across all three models.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06 are both active product alternatives to the obsolete FN2360W-3-06. Selection between these two substitute parts should be based on availability and compliance requirements specific to your application.

Both substitute parts carry expanded approval agency certifications (CSA, ENEC, UR) compared to the original part (CSA, SEMKO), providing broader regulatory acceptance. Both meet ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the FN2360W-3-06. Both support dual voltage operation at 110V and 250VAC, offering greater application flexibility than the single 250V rating of the original part.

The inductance specification differs between the original part (400µH) and both substitutes (9.8mH). This parameter difference must be evaluated against your specific EMI/EMI filtering requirements and circuit design specifications to ensure functional compatibility in your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06 be used interchangeably as substitutes for FN2360W-3-06?

A: Both parts meet the core substitution criteria: single-phase, two-stage configuration, 3A current rating, DC to 400Hz operation, chassis mount with quick connect termination, and -25°C to 100°C operating temperature. Both support 250VAC operation required by the original specification. Selection between them should be based on availability and specific circuit requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance difference between the original part and substitutes?

A: The FN2360W-3-06 specifies 400µH inductance, while both FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06 specify 9.8mH. Inductance directly affects filter performance characteristics and EMI attenuation. This parameter must be evaluated against your circuit design and EMI filtering requirements to confirm functional compatibility.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with existing quick connect termination interfaces?

A: Yes. Both FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06 use identical quick connect termination style as the FN2360W-3-06, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with existing connector systems.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The FN2360W-3-06 is listed with standard packaging. Both substitute parts (FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06) are supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do the substitute parts offer improved regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both FN2070-3-06 and FN2080-3-06 carry ROHS3 Compliant status and expanded approval agency certifications (CSA, ENEC, UR) compared to the original part's RoHS Compliant status and CSA, SEMKO certifications. This provides broader regulatory acceptance for new designs and system updates.
