Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN3288-100-35-C35-R65 is the designated substitute for the FN258L-100-35 based on functional equivalence in filter topology, current capacity, and application domain. Both components are manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc. and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

  • Active product status, ensuring continued availability and support
  • Extended lower operating temperature limit (-40°C versus -25°C)
  • Higher voltage ratings (530V phase-to-phase, 305V phase-to-ground versus 480V and 277V respectively)
  • Identical current rating, mounting configuration, and termination style

Selection of the FN3288-100-35-C35-R65 is appropriate for applications requiring the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the FN258L-100-35, particularly where extended temperature range or higher voltage tolerance is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN3288-100-35-C35-R65 directly replace the FN258L-100-35 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical three-phase delta filter topology, 100 A current rating, two-stage configuration, chassis mount design, and terminal block termination. The substitute accommodates the same applications in inverters and power drive systems.

Q: What are the voltage differences between these parts?

A: The FN258L-100-35 is rated 480V phase-to-phase and 277V phase-to-ground. The FN3288-100-35-C35-R65 is rated 530V phase-to-phase and 305V phase-to-ground. The substitute supports higher voltage levels while maintaining compatibility with the original part's electrical specifications.

Q: Why is the FN258L-100-35 marked "Not For New Designs"?
