FN283-6-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FN283-6-06 is an AC power entry connector module manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc., designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This receptacle connector features male blades, integrated EMI/RFI filtering, an on-off switch, and a fuse holder. The product is currently active and widely used in commercial power distribution applications requiring filtered power entry with circuit protection. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications align with the original component's functional requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FN283-6-06 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Connector style and type must match IEC 320-C14 receptacle configuration with male blades. The number of positions must remain at 3. Current rating capability must support 6A minimum at the filter stage. Filter type classification must be Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial grade. Switch functionality must include on-off capability. Mounting configuration must be panel mount with flange. Termination must accommodate quick connect standards. Fuse holder presence is required. Panel cutout dimensions must be compatible within specified rectangular tolerances. Ingress protection rating must meet or exceed IP40. RoHS3 compliance is mandatory.

The substitute part 880-06/006 from Qualtek meets these criteria through equivalent electrical specifications, matching connector architecture, identical position count, compatible current rating, commercial-grade filtering, integrated switching, panel mount design, quick connect termination, fuse holder inclusion, and RoHS3 compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FN283-6-06 and 880-06/006 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and regulatory approvals suitable for commercial power entry applications. The FN283-6-06 carries broader certification coverage including CQC and ENEC in addition to CSA and UL. The 880-06/006 includes VDE certification. Panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.5mm in the horizontal axis (29.00mm versus 29.50mm), which may require panel modification assessment during integration. Both components provide equivalent electrical functionality for IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry with integrated switching and fuse protection at 6A capacity. Selection between these parts should be based on certification requirements for the target application region, panel cutout compatibility, and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 880-06/006 directly replace the FN283-6-06 without panel modification?

A: Panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.5mm horizontally. The FN283-6-06 requires a 29.00mm x 60.00mm rectangular cutout, while the 880-06/006 requires 29.50mm x 60.00mm. Panel compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical specifications equivalent between these two parts?

A: Both components provide IEC 320-C14 receptacle configuration with 3 positions, commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering, on-off switching, quick connect termination, and integrated fuse holders. The FN283-6-06 explicitly specifies 6A filter current rating; the 880-06/006 does not list this parameter in available documentation.

Q: What are the key differences in regulatory approvals?

A: The FN283-6-06 holds CQC, CSA, ENEC, and UL certifications. The 880-06/006 holds CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. Application requirements in specific regions may dictate which certifications are necessary.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both FN283-6-06 and 880-06/006 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the fuse configuration for these connectors?

A: Both parts accommodate a fuse holder with drawer-type design. Fuses are not included with either component and must be sourced separately according to application requirements.
