FN510-16-29 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FN510-16-29 is a three-phase (Delta) EMC/EMI line filter rated for 16 A chassis mount operation, manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc. This component is classified as obsolete and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering in three-phase power distribution systems. Due to its obsolete status, identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system functionality and ensure continued availability for replacement and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FN510-16-29 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Filter Type: Three Phase (Delta) configuration
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Termination Style: Terminal Block
• Manufacturer: Schaffner EMC Inc.
• Voltage compatibility: Phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Current capacity: Must support the required amperage for the application

The FN5060-24-84 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains the same filter topology (three-phase Delta), mounting configuration (chassis mount), and termination method (terminal block). While the current rating is higher (24 A versus 16 A), this represents an uprated capability suitable for applications requiring the original 16 A specification. The voltage ratings of the substitute part exceed those of the original component, ensuring compatibility with existing power distribution systems.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN5060-24-84 is an active product from Schaffner EMC Inc. and serves as the designated substitute for the obsolete FN510-16-29. Selection of this substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The FN5060-24-84 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete FN510-16-29.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part carries CE and cURus approvals, providing regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications. Both the main part and substitute maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Electrical Compatibility: The FN5060-24-84 provides higher voltage ratings (500 V phase-to-ground and 550 V phase-to-phase) and increased current capacity (24 A), making it suitable for applications originally designed for the 16 A FN510-16-29. The uprated specifications ensure the substitute part operates within safe margins for the original application requirements.

Thermal Performance: The substitute part supports an extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 100°C) compared to the original (-25°C ~ 70°C), providing enhanced performance in demanding thermal environments.

Physical Compatibility: Both parts share identical mounting type (chassis mount) and termination style (terminal block), facilitating direct mechanical integration into existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN5060-24-84 directly replace the FN510-16-29 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are three-phase (Delta) EMC/EMI line filters with chassis mount configuration and terminal block termination. The FN5060-24-84 provides higher current capacity (24 A) and voltage ratings, making it suitable for applications originally specified for the 16 A FN510-16-29.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two filter models?

A: The main differences are current rating (16 A versus 24 A), voltage specifications (FN5060-24-84 provides higher phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase ratings), operating temperature range (extended to 100°C for the substitute), and product status (active versus obsolete). Both maintain the same three-phase Delta filter topology and chassis mount configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The FN5060-24-84 carries CE and cURus approvals, while the FN510-16-29 does not specify approval agencies. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. The FN510-16-29 is explicitly ROHS3 compliant; the FN5060-24-84 compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the substitute part affect its performance in lower-current applications?

A: No. The FN5060-24-84 is rated for 24 A operation and operates safely at lower current levels. The uprated capacity provides design margin and does not degrade performance when used in 16 A applications.

Q: What is the inductance specification for the substitute part?

A: The FN5060-24-84 has an inductance rating of 98µH. The inductance specification for the FN510-16-29 is not provided in available documentation.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the FN510-16-29 and FN5060-24-84 are supplied in Tray packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage requirements.

Q: What applications is the FN5060-24-84 designed for?

A: The FN5060-24-84 is specified for regenerative motor drive applications. The FN510-16-29 is designated for general-purpose applications. The substitute part's broader application scope supports its use in general-purpose installations.
