GL-2060F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GL-2060F 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 GL-2060F 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

Substitute parts for the GL-2060F are identified based on functional and electrical equivalence within the AC Power Connectors category. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14 (industry standard male blade configuration)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades (functional match)
• Number of Positions: 3 (pin count equivalence)
• Filter Type: Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial (filtering capability match)
• Current Rating - Filter: 6A (electrical capacity match)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange (installation method match)
• Features: Front or Rear Side Mount (mounting flexibility match)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (environmental regulation match)
• Approval Agency: CSA, UL (minimum certification overlap)

The substitute part 1-6609014-2 satisfies all core electrical and mechanical parameters. Termination method differs (Wire Leads versus Solder Eyelet), representing a design variation that requires circuit board layout assessment during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GL-2060F (KEMET): This component is designated Last Time Buy, indicating end-of-life status. Existing inventory of 1,097 pieces is available. Selection is appropriate only for legacy system maintenance or existing production runs with confirmed supply allocation. Solder eyelet termination requires PCB pad design compatibility.

1-6609014-2 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters): This component maintains Active product status with 876 pieces in current inventory. It satisfies all core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Wire lead termination requires circuit board layout modification compared to the GL-2060F. Regulatory certifications include CSA, UL, and VDE, providing broader geographic compliance coverage. REACH Status is listed as REACH Affected, requiring compliance verification for applications subject to REACH regulations.

For new designs and forward-looking applications, 1-6609014-2 is the appropriate selection due to active product status and continued manufacturer support. For existing GL-2060F implementations, 1-6609014-2 serves as a functional substitute with termination method consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Both components share identical IEC 320-C14 connector style, 3-position configuration, 6A filtered current rating, and panel mount flange design. The primary difference is termination method: GL-2060F uses solder eyelet termination while 1-6609014-2 uses wire leads. Direct PCB replacement requires layout modification to accommodate wire lead connections instead of solder pads.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on GL-2060F?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates KEMET has discontinued production of this component. Current inventory of 1,097 pieces represents the final available stock. Once depleted, GL-2060F will no longer be available from the manufacturer. Component selection should transition to active alternatives such as 1-6609014-2 for new production and long-term applications.

Q: Are the filtering characteristics identical between these components?

A: Both components are specified as Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial with 6A current rating through the filter stage. This indicates equivalent EMI/RFI suppression performance for commercial-grade applications. Detailed filter response curves and attenuation specifications are not provided in the component parameters and require manufacturer datasheets for precise filtering performance comparison.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to each component?

A: GL-2060F holds CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. 1-6609014-2 holds CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant. The 1-6609014-2 includes VDE certification, providing additional compliance for European applications. GL-2060F includes TUV certification. Application requirements determine which certification set is necessary.

Q: How does REACH Status affect component selection?

A: GL-2060F is listed as REACH Unaffected, indicating no REACH compliance obligations. 1-6609014-2 is listed as REACH Affected, requiring compliance verification for applications subject to REACH regulations. Applications operating within REACH-regulated markets must confirm 1-6609014-2 meets specific REACH substance restrictions and documentation requirements.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these components?

A: GL-2060F is supplied in Tray packaging with 1,097 pieces in stock. 1-6609014-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 876 pieces in stock. Packaging format affects receiving, storage, and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.
