Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GL-2030FV-10 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Number of Positions: 3
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current Rating - Filter: 3A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL (minimum common certifications)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation:

• Termination method may differ (Solder Eyelet vs. Wire Leads) based on circuit board integration requirements
• Packaging format (Tray vs. Bulk) does not affect functional equivalence

The substitute part 3-6609006-3 manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters meets all critical matching parameters and qualifies as a functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 3-6609006-3 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters)

This part is the qualified equivalent for GL-2030FV-10 replacement. Selection rationale:

1. Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original part specification.

2. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts hold CSA and UL certifications, meeting North American safety standards. The substitute additionally carries VDE certification, providing broader European compliance coverage.

3. Product Status Advantage: The substitute part maintains Active status with 1063 units in stock, ensuring long-term availability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

4. RoHS Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements, supporting environmental and regulatory mandates.

5. Termination Consideration: The substitute uses Wire Leads termination instead of Solder Eyelet. This difference requires circuit board design verification to confirm compatibility with existing PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3-6609006-3 be used as a direct replacement for GL-2030FV-10?

A: Yes, 3-6609006-3 is functionally equivalent for IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry applications. The primary design consideration is termination method: the substitute uses wire leads rather than solder eyelets, requiring verification of PCB integration compatibility.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (Receptacle, Male Blades), position count (3), filter type (EMI/RFI Commercial), current rating (3A), mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Flange), and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL minimum).

Q: Are there voltage or current rating differences between these parts?

A: The GL-2030FV-10 does not specify appliance inlet voltage or current ratings in the provided data. Both parts share identical filter current rating of 3A. The substitute part specifies 250VAC appliance inlet rating.

Q: Does packaging format affect part selection?

A: No. The GL-2030FV-10 is supplied in Tray packaging while 3-6609006-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is determined by procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: What certifications does each part hold?

A: GL-2030FV-10 holds CSA, TUV, and UL certifications. The substitute 3-6609006-3 holds CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. Both meet the minimum CSA and UL requirements for North American applications.

Q: Is the GL-2030FV-10 still available for purchase?

A: The GL-2030FV-10 is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. Current inventory shows 903 units available. The substitute part 3-6609006-3 maintains Active status with 1063 units in stock, providing superior long-term supply continuity.
