Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FN284B-2-06-1 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial, Medical
• Current Rating - Filter: 2A
• Switch Features: Switch On-Off
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Fuse Accommodation: Yes
• Ingress Protection: IP40

Identified Substitutes:

1. FN284B-2-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) - Direct manufacturer variant with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Product Status: Active. This part represents the current production equivalent.

2. 4304.5082 (SCHURTER Inc.) - Cross-manufacturer substitute meeting all primary compatibility criteria. Product Status: Active. Mechanical panel cutout dimensions vary slightly (29.50mm x 61.00mm versus 29.00mm x 60.00mm), requiring panel modification assessment. Material flammability rating differs (UL94 V-0 versus UL94 V-2), representing enhanced performance. Approval agencies differ (cULus, ENEC versus CQC, CSA, ENEC, UL).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FN284B-2-06 (Schaffner EMC Inc.) is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains identical specifications to the FN284B-2-06-1 while carrying Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support and availability. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications align without modification requirements. This selection is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs and new applications.

4304.5082 (SCHURTER Inc.) is a secondary cross-manufacturer option suitable when FN284B-2-06 availability is constrained. This part satisfies all core electrical and functional requirements. Implementation requires assessment of two factors: (1) panel cutout dimensions differ by 0.5mm in each axis, necessitating panel modification or tolerance verification; (2) regulatory certification scope differs, with cULus and ENEC approval versus the broader CQC, CSA, ENEC, UL certification of the primary part. The enhanced material flammability rating (UL94 V-0) represents improved performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN284B-2-06 be used as a direct replacement for FN284B-2-06-1?

A: Yes. FN284B-2-06 is functionally and mechanically identical to FN284B-2-06-1. All electrical parameters, connector specifications, filter ratings, switch functionality, termination style, and panel mounting dimensions are equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: FN284B-2-06 is Active, while FN284B-2-06-1 is Not For New Designs.

Q: What are the panel installation implications of using 4304.5082?

A: The 4304.5082 requires a panel cutout of 29.50mm x 61.00mm, compared to 29.00mm x 60.00mm for the FN284B-2-06-1. The dimensional difference of 0.5mm in each axis may require panel modification depending on existing cutout tolerances and mechanical constraints. Panel compatibility must be assessed before implementation.

Q: Are the regulatory certifications equivalent between FN284B-2-06 and 4304.5082?

A: No. FN284B-2-06 carries CQC, CSA, ENEC, and UL approvals. 4304.5082 carries cULus and ENEC approvals. The certification scope differs; applications requiring specific regional compliance (CQC for China, CSA for Canada) must use FN284B-2-06 or verify that cULus and ENEC certifications satisfy application requirements.

Q: Does the UL94 V-0 rating of 4304.5082 provide functional advantages?

A: UL94 V-0 represents a higher material flammability classification than UL94 V-2. This indicates enhanced flame resistance characteristics. For applications with specific flammability requirements, 4304.5082 may provide superior performance. For applications designed to FN284B-2-06-1 specifications (UL94 V-2), both ratings are acceptable unless design documentation specifies the higher classification.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: FN284B-2-06-1 has 730 units in stock (Tray packaging). FN284B-2-06 has 1573 units in stock (Tray packaging). 4304.5082 has 845 units in stock (Bulk packaging). Packaging format differs between suppliers; procurement requirements should account for packaging configuration.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. FN284B-2-06-1, FN284B-2-06, and 4304.5082 are all ROHS3 Compliant. REACH status is Unaffected for all three parts.
