GL-2060C3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GL-2060C3 is a Power Entry Connector Receptacle manufactured by KEMET, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications with integrated EMI/RFI filtering. This component functions as a male blade receptacle for AC power entry with a 6A filtered current rating and solder eyelet termination. The part is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for applications requiring IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry connectors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GL-2060C3 are identified based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry connector category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector style: IEC 320-C14
• Connector type: Receptacle with male blades
• Filter type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial grade
• Current rating: 6A at filter stage
• Number of positions: 3

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Features: Front or rear side mount capability
• Approval certifications: CSA, UL (minimum common certifications)
• RoHS3 compliance

The substitute part 1-6609014-2 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters) meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Termination type differs (wire leads versus solder eyelet), which represents a functional variation requiring circuit board design consideration but does not prevent substitution in applications where wire lead termination is acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GL-2060C3 (KEMET): This part is designated Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. Current inventory of 1,193 pieces is available. Selection of this part is appropriate only for existing stock utilization or legacy system maintenance where solder eyelet termination is required. Approval certifications include CSA, TUV, and UL.

1-6609014-2 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters): This part maintains Active product status with 876 pieces in current inventory. It provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with wire lead termination. Approval certifications include CSA, UL, and VDE. This part is suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The wire lead termination requires circuit board design accommodation but eliminates soldering operations during assembly.

Selection between these parts depends on termination method requirements and production status objectives. For new applications, the active status of 1-6609014-2 provides supply chain continuity. For legacy applications requiring solder eyelet termination, GL-2060C3 remains available from current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-6609014-2 directly replace GL-2060C3 in existing designs?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. The primary design consideration is termination method: GL-2060C3 uses solder eyelet termination while 1-6609014-2 uses wire leads. Circuit board layout and assembly processes must accommodate the wire lead configuration. Both parts meet IEC 320-C14 specifications and 6A filtered current requirements.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (receptacle with male blades), filter type (EMI/RFI commercial grade), current rating (6A), and number of positions (3). Both parts meet these specifications.

Q: Are there differences in approval certifications between these parts?

A: GL-2060C3 carries CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. 1-6609014-2 carries CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Both include UL and CSA certifications. The GL-2060C3 includes TUV certification while 1-6609014-2 includes VDE certification. Application requirements determine which certification set is necessary.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status for GL-2060C3?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates KEMET has discontinued production of this part. Current inventory of 1,193 pieces represents final available stock. For applications requiring this specific part, procurement from existing inventory is necessary. For new designs or ongoing production, 1-6609014-2 is the appropriate selection due to its Active product status.

Q: How do packaging differences affect part selection?

A: GL-2060C3 is supplied in Tray packaging while 1-6609014-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Selection depends on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both GL-2060C3 and 1-6609014-2 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and material restriction requirements for electronic components.
