Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GL-2060C-20 is determined by strict equivalence across 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
• Approval Agency: CSA and UL certification (minimum)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variations:

• Termination method (Quick Connect versus Wire Leads)
• Packaging format (Tray versus Bulk)
• Product Status (Last Time Buy versus Active)
• Specific manufacturer series designation

The substitute part 1-6609014-2 manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-6609014-2 manufactured by TE Connectivity Corcom Filters is a qualified substitute for the GL-2060C-20. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector interface, filtering characteristics, and current handling capacity.

Selection Basis:

The GL-2060C-20 carries Last Time Buy status, indicating production discontinuation. The 1-6609014-2 maintains Active product status with current manufacturing availability (876 Pcs in stock versus 1172 Pcs for the GL-2060C-20).

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and hold CSA and UL certifications, meeting regulatory requirements for AC power connector applications. The 1-6609014-2 additionally carries VDE certification, providing expanded geographic compliance.

The primary design consideration is termination method: the GL-2060C-20 uses quick connect spade lugs (0.187" / 4.7mm), while the 1-6609014-2 uses wire leads. Circuit board layout and wiring harness design must accommodate this difference during component substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-6609014-2 directly replace the GL-2060C-20 in existing designs?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. However, termination method differs: the GL-2060C-20 terminates via quick connect spade lugs, while the 1-6609014-2 terminates via wire leads. Wiring harness and connection methodology must be adapted accordingly.

Q: Are the filtering characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Both components feature identical commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering with 6A current rating. Filtering performance is equivalent for applications requiring commercial-level electromagnetic interference suppression.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the GL-2060C-20 and 1-6609014-2 hold CSA and UL certifications. The 1-6609014-2 additionally carries VDE certification. All certifications meet North American and European regulatory standards for AC power connectors.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect component functionality?

A: Packaging format (Tray versus Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection is determined by procurement quantity requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Why is the GL-2060C-20 designated Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates KEMET has discontinued production of this component. The 1-6609014-2 remains in active production, providing long-term supply continuity for equivalent applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both the GL-2060C-20 and 1-6609014-2 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and material restriction requirements for electronic components.
