Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FN2010-30-08 qualifies as a functional substitute for the FN610-30-03 based on the following critical parameters:

• Voltage Rating: Both parts are rated 250VAC
• Current Capacity: Both parts are rated 30 A
• Operating Frequency: Both parts operate DC ~ 400Hz
• Filter Type & Configuration: Both are single-phase, single-stage EMC/EMI line filters
• Mounting Type: Both are chassis-mount designs
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate -25°C ~ 100°C
• Regulatory Approvals: Both hold CSA, ENEC, and UR certifications

The primary difference between these parts is the termination style: the FN610-30-03 uses terminal block termination, while the FN2010-30-08 uses threaded post (M4) termination. This difference requires mechanical redesign consideration in the application circuit but does not affect electrical performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2010-30-08 is the active production equivalent for the obsolete FN610-30-03. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications for voltage, current, frequency, and temperature operating ranges. Both hold equivalent regulatory certifications from CSA, ENEC, and UR.

The FN2010-30-08 carries ROHS3 compliance status, representing current regulatory alignment. The primary engineering consideration for substitution is the termination interface: the FN610-30-03 terminal block connection must be redesigned to accommodate the FN2010-30-08 threaded post (M4) connection. This is a mechanical interface change only and does not affect filter performance.

The inductance difference (610µH versus 700µH) reflects design evolution between series generations and remains within acceptable parameters for the specified 30 A, 250VAC application envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2010-30-08 directly replace the FN610-30-03 without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, the termination interface differs: FN610-30-03 uses terminal block connections while FN2010-30-08 uses M4 threaded posts. The connection points in the circuit must be redesigned to accommodate this mechanical difference.

Q: Are the regulatory certifications equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts hold identical approval agency certifications: CSA, ENEC, and UR. The FN2010-30-08 additionally carries ROHS3 compliance, reflecting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the inductance difference (610µH vs 700µH) affect filter performance?

A: Both inductance values are specified for the same 30 A, 250VAC, DC ~ 400Hz operating envelope. The difference reflects design evolution between the FN 610 and FN 2010 series and does not compromise performance within the stated application parameters.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The FN610-30-03 is obsolete with 954 pieces in stock. The FN2010-30-08 is active production with 1326 pieces in stock, ensuring long-term availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The FN610-30-03 is supplied with standard packaging. The FN2010-30-08 is supplied in tray packaging, which may affect handling and storage procedures in your supply chain.
