Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The FN9264-6-06 qualifies as a direct substitute for the FN9263-6-06 based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical connector style (IEC 320-C14)
• Identical connector type (Receptacle, Male Blades - Module)
• Identical number of positions (3)
• Identical filter type (Filtered EMI/RFI - Commercial)
• Identical current rating (6A)
• Identical switch features (Switch On-Off)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical mounting type (Panel Mount, Flange)
• Identical termination method (Quick Connect - 0.250"/6.3mm)
• Functionally equivalent panel cutout dimensions (FN9263: 29.20mm x 33.20mm; FN9264: 29.00mm x 33.00mm)

Regulatory & Compliance:

• Identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-2)
• Identical ingress protection rating (IP40)
• Identical approval agencies (CQC, CSA, ENEC, UL)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)

The primary distinction is product status: FN9263-6-06 is marked "Not For New Designs," while FN9264-6-06 is "Active," making it the recommended current production alternative.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN9264-6-06 is the direct substitute for FN9263-6-06. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For New Designs and Current Production: Use FN9264-6-06. This part carries "Active" product status and represents the current manufacturing standard from Schaffner EMC Inc. It maintains full electrical, mechanical, and regulatory equivalence to the legacy FN9263-6-06.

For Legacy System Maintenance and Repair: Either part is functionally interchangeable. The FN9263-6-06 may be used if existing inventory is available, provided the minor panel cutout dimension variance (0.20mm x 0.20mm) does not conflict with existing panel tooling or mechanical constraints.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy identical certification requirements (CQC, CSA, ENEC, UL) and maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications requiring these certifications.

Packaging Consideration: FN9263-6-06 is supplied in Tray packaging; FN9264-6-06 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with inventory management and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN9264-6-06 directly replace FN9263-6-06 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The FN9264-6-06 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to FN9263-6-06. Both connectors feature identical IEC 320-C14 styling, 3-position configuration, 6A filtered current rating, panel mount flange design, and quick connect termination. All regulatory certifications and compliance standards are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on FN9263-6-06?

A: This designation indicates that Schaffner EMC Inc. has transitioned this part to legacy status and recommends using FN9264-6-06 for new product development. The FN9263-6-06 remains available for repair and maintenance of existing systems but should not be specified for new designs.

Q: Are there differences in the panel cutout dimensions between these parts?

A: The panel cutout dimensions differ slightly: FN9263-6-06 requires 29.20mm x 33.20mm, while FN9264-6-06 requires 29.00mm x 33.00mm. This 0.20mm variance in each dimension is functionally equivalent for most applications. However, if existing panel tooling has been precisely machined to the FN9263-6-06 specification, the FN9264-6-06 may require panel modification.

Q: Do both parts carry the same regulatory certifications?

A: Yes. Both FN9263-6-06 and FN9264-6-06 are certified by CQC, CSA, ENEC, and UL. Both maintain UL94 V-2 material flammability rating and IP40 ingress protection classification. ROHS3 compliance is identical for both parts.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: FN9263-6-06 is packaged in Tray format, while FN9264-6-06 is packaged in Bulk format. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and should be selected based on inventory handling and storage requirements.

Q: Can FN9263-6-06 be used in applications requiring active product status?

A: No. Applications requiring components with active product status should specify FN9264-6-06. The FN9263-6-06 "Not For New Designs" designation makes it unsuitable for new product development or systems requiring current manufacturing support.
