FN610-3-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FN610-3-06 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc., rated for 250VAC at 3A with DC to 400Hz operating frequency. This chassis-mount filter features quick-connect termination and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility filtering.

The FN610-3-06 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain system continuity and ensure procurement of functionally compatible components for new designs or replacement applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FN610-3-06 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine compatibility:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC (exact match required)
• Current rating: 3A (exact match required)
• Operating frequency: DC ~ 400Hz (exact match required)
• Filter topology: Single Phase, Single Stage (exact match required)
• Mounting and termination: Chassis Mount with Quick Connect (exact match required)
• Regulatory compliance: CSA, ENEC, UR certifications (maintained)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 100°C (exact match required)

The FN2010-3-06 meets all substitution criteria. While inductance differs slightly (2.5mH vs. 2mH), both values fall within acceptable EMI filtering performance for the specified application class and do not affect functional compatibility for general-purpose use.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2010-3-06 is the direct substitute for the obsolete FN610-3-06. Both components share identical electrical ratings, frequency response, and regulatory certifications. The FN2010-3-06 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

The FN2010-3-06 maintains ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental standards. The inductance variance (2.5mH vs. 2mH) represents a 25% increase, which remains within acceptable performance parameters for single-stage EMI filtering in general-purpose applications at the specified voltage and current ratings.

Packaging differs between the two parts: FN610-3-06 uses standard packaging while FN2010-3-06 is supplied in trays. This distinction affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN2010-3-06 be used as a direct replacement for FN610-3-06?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications: 250VAC, 3A, DC to 400Hz operation, single-phase single-stage configuration, chassis mount with quick-connect termination, and -25°C to 100°C operating temperature range. Regulatory certifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance difference between the two parts?

A: The FN2010-3-06 has 2.5mH inductance compared to 2mH in the FN610-3-06. This 0.5mH increase does not affect compatibility for general-purpose EMI filtering applications within the specified electrical parameters.

Q: Why is FN610-3-06 obsolete while FN2010-3-06 is active?

A: The FN610-3-06 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The FN2010-3-06 represents the current production equivalent, ensuring long-term availability and supply reliability.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching from FN610-3-06 to FN2010-3-06?

A: Yes. The FN2010-3-06 is supplied in trays rather than standard packaging. Procurement and inventory management processes may require adjustment to accommodate tray-based packaging, but this does not affect component performance or installation.

Q: Do both parts meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: The FN610-3-06 is RoHS Compliant. The FN2010-3-06 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting more recent environmental standards. Both are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.
