GL-2060C-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GL-2060C-10 is a power entry connector receptacle manufactured by KEMET, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This component functions as a filtered AC power inlet with male blades, incorporating commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering at 6A current rating. The part is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued component availability for new designs, repairs, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GL-2060C-10 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory 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: 6A
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Features: Front or Rear Side Mount

Acceptable Variations:

• Termination method (Solder Eyelet vs. Wire Leads)
• Manufacturer identity
• Packaging format (Tray vs. Bulk)
• Product status (Last Time Buy vs. Active)

The substitute part 1-6609014-2 manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters satisfies all mandatory matching parameters while differing only in termination style and product lifecycle status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GL-2060C-10 (KEMET): This part is designated Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. Existing inventory of 903 pieces is available. Selection is appropriate only for applications where solder eyelet termination is required and existing stock fulfills immediate requirements.

1-6609014-2 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters): This part maintains Active product status with 876 pieces in inventory. It satisfies all functional and electrical requirements of the GL-2060C-10 with the exception of termination method. Wire lead termination requires integration into PCB or harness designs that accommodate this connection style. This part carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals, providing regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Selection is appropriate for new designs, production continuity, and long-term availability assurance.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL and CSA certifications. The GL-2060C-10 includes TUV approval, while the 1-6609014-2 includes VDE approval. Design requirements should confirm that the regulatory certifications of the selected part align with target market and application standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-6609014-2 directly replace the GL-2060C-10 in existing designs?

A: Functional and electrical compatibility is confirmed. The primary difference is termination method: GL-2060C-10 uses solder eyelet termination while 1-6609014-2 uses wire leads. Direct replacement requires that the PCB or harness design accommodates wire lead connections. If the original design requires solder eyelet termination, mechanical and electrical redesign is necessary.

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

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: IEC 320-C14 connector style, receptacle with male blades configuration, 3-position count, commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering, 6A filter current rating, panel mount flange mounting, and front or rear side mount capability. Variations in termination method, manufacturer, packaging, and product lifecycle status do not affect functional substitution.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. GL-2060C-10 carries CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. 1-6609014-2 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Both include UL and CSA certifications. Applications requiring TUV certification must retain GL-2060C-10. Applications requiring VDE certification must use 1-6609014-2. Most applications requiring only UL and CSA certification can use either part.

Q: What is the impact of Last Time Buy status on the GL-2060C-10?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates that KEMET has discontinued production of this part. Current inventory of 903 pieces represents the final available stock. Once depleted, the GL-2060C-10 will not be restocked. For applications requiring long-term component availability, transition to the Active-status 1-6609014-2 is recommended.

Q: How do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: GL-2060C-10 is supplied in Tray packaging while 1-6609014-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection between packaging types depends on inventory management practices, handling procedures, and quantity requirements of the procurement process.

Q: What design considerations apply when transitioning from solder eyelet to wire lead termination?

A: Solder eyelet termination (GL-2060C-10) connects directly to PCB pads through soldering. Wire lead termination (1-6609014-2) requires integration into harness assemblies or connection to PCB through terminal blocks or connectors. Design transition requires verification of mechanical fit within the enclosure, electrical continuity of wire gauge and length, and strain relief provisions for wire leads.
