Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FN612-10-06 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine compatibility:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Voltage rating: 250VAC (must match)
• Current rating: 10A (must match)
• Operating frequency range: DC ~ 400Hz (must match)
• Filter type: Single Phase (must match)
• Configuration: Single Stage (must match)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount (must match)
• Termination style: Quick Connect (must match)
• Approval certifications: CSA, ENEC, UR (must be present)

The FN2020-10-06 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. While inductance differs (800µH vs. 450µH), both values fall within acceptable ranges for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering applications at the specified voltage and current ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN2020-10-06 is a direct substitute for the obsolete FN612-10-06. Both components share identical electrical ratings (250VAC, 10A, DC ~ 400Hz), filter configuration (single-phase, single-stage), and mechanical specifications (chassis mount, quick-connect termination). Both maintain the same operating temperature range and hold equivalent regulatory approvals (CSA, ENEC, UR).

The FN2020-10-06 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The component meets current RoHS3 compliance requirements, providing environmental and regulatory alignment with modern manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FN2020-10-06 directly replace the FN612-10-06 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 250VAC, 10A single-phase EMC/EMI filtering at DC to 400Hz operating frequency. Chassis mounting and quick-connect termination are identical, enabling direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the inductance difference (450µH vs. 800µH)?

A: Both inductance values are within acceptable ranges for general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering at the specified voltage and current ratings. The difference does not affect compatibility for applications designed around the FN612-10-06 electrical specifications.

Q: Are regulatory certifications equivalent between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both the FN612-10-06 and FN2020-10-06 hold identical approval certifications from CSA, ENEC, and UR, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The FN612-10-06 was supplied without specified packaging, while the FN2020-10-06 is supplied in Tray packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why is the FN612-10-06 classified as obsolete?

A: The FN612-10-06 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The FN2020-10-06 represents the active product line continuation, offering equivalent functionality with current manufacturing and compliance standards.
