Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FN610A-3-06 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine valid substitutes:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC (exact match required)
• Current rating: 3A (exact match required)
• Operating frequency: DC ~ 400Hz (exact match required)
• Filter type: Single Phase (exact match required)
• Configuration: Single Stage (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Termination style: Quick Connect (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 100°C (exact match required)
• Approval certifications: CSA, ENEC, UR (all certifications must be present)

The FN2010A-3-06 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2010A-3-06 is the direct substitute for the obsolete FN610A-3-06. Both components share identical electrical ratings, frequency response, safety certifications, and mechanical mounting specifications. The FN2010A-3-06 carries active product status with confirmed manufacturing availability (871 pcs in stock).

The FN2010A-3-06 provides enhanced compliance through ROHS3 certification and maintains REACH unaffected status. The inductance variance (2.5mH versus 2mH) falls within acceptable tolerance for EMC filtering applications at this specification level and does not affect functional equivalence for the stated 250VAC 3A safety application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2010A-3-06 be used as a direct replacement for the FN610A-3-06?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (250VAC, 3A, DC~400Hz), share the same filter type and configuration (single-phase, single-stage), and carry equivalent safety certifications (CSA, ENEC, UR). Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical chassis-mount and quick-connect termination specifications.

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

A: The FN610A-3-06 specifies 2mH inductance while the FN2010A-3-06 specifies 2.5mH. This 0.5mH variance is within normal manufacturing tolerance for EMC line filters and does not affect functional performance for the stated 250VAC 3A safety application.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (tray for FN2010A-3-06 versus unspecified for FN610A-3-06) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and logistics requirements, not functional performance.

Q: Are the RoHS compliance levels equivalent?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The FN2010A-3-06 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current compliance standards. This upgrade does not affect functional substitution and indicates improved environmental compliance status.

Q: What certifications must be present for a valid substitute?

A: Valid substitutes must carry all three certifications: CSA, ENEC, and UR. Both the FN610A-3-06 and FN2010A-3-06 meet this requirement.
