Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FN9260B-4-06 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14 (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module (mandatory match)
• Number of Positions: 3 (mandatory match)
• Current Rating - Filter: 4A (mandatory match)
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial, Medical (mandatory match)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange (mandatory match)
• Termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) (mandatory match)
• Fuse Accommodation: Yes (mandatory match)

The substitute part B84773M0004A000 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical connector specifications, current ratings, filtering characteristics, and termination standards. Both accommodate fuses and are designed for panel mount applications with equivalent quick-connect termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FN9260B-4-06 and B84773M0004A000 are active production parts with current inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory certification requirements for the target application:

The FN9260B-4-06 carries CQC, CSA, ENEC, and UL certifications, making it suitable for applications requiring Chinese market compliance (CQC) or Canadian market approval (CSA).

The B84773M0004A000 carries cUL, ENEC, and UL certifications, with cUL designation indicating Canadian approval through UL's Canadian certification program. This part is suitable for North American and European markets.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for commercial and medical equipment applications. The substitute part provides explicit voltage rating (250VAC/DC) and appliance inlet current rating (4A) specifications, whereas the original part does not document these parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B84773M0004A000 directly replace FN9260B-4-06 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the target application's regulatory certification requirements are met by the substitute part's approval agencies (cUL, ENEC, UL). If the original design requires CQC or CSA certification, the substitute part does not carry these certifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (Receptacle, Male Blades - Module), number of positions (3), current rating (4A), filter type (EMI/RFI - Commercial, Medical), mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Flange), and termination standard (Quick Connect - 0.250") must all match exactly.

Q: Are there differences in fuse holder configuration between these parts?

A: The FN9260B-4-06 specifies a Twin Fused fuse holder configuration. The B84773M0004A000 documentation indicates a Fuse Holder without specifying the twin fused configuration. This difference should be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: Do both parts support the same panel cutout dimensions?

A: The FN9260B-4-06 requires a rectangular panel cutout of 29.00mm x 33.00mm. The B84773M0004A000 documentation indicates variable size panel cutout dimensions. Physical verification is necessary to confirm mechanical compatibility in existing panel installations.

Q: What is the difference in REACH compliance status?

A: The FN9260B-4-06 is listed as REACH Unaffected, while B84773M0004A000 is listed as REACH Affected. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to REACH regulations should confirm compliance requirements with the substitute part manufacturer.
