GL-2150C-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GL-2150C-10 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 filtered power inlet for commercial equipment requiring 15A current capacity at 120/250VAC operation. The part is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued component availability for maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this connector specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the GL-2150C-10 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Compatibility:

• IEC 320-C14 connector style (standardized interface)
• 15A current rating at filter stage
• 3-position configuration
• Commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Panel mount, flange mounting type
• Front or rear side mount capability
• Variable size panel cutout dimensions

Regulatory & Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Multi-agency approvals (CSA, UL minimum)
• EAR99 export classification

The substitute part 1-6609016-9 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters) meets all core electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is termination method: the substitute uses wire leads instead of solder eyelets, requiring circuit board design accommodation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GL-2150C-10 (KEMET): Select this part for existing designs currently in production or maintenance cycles where solder eyelet termination is specified. Current inventory of 973 pieces supports near-term requirements. Product status as Last Time Buy indicates this is the final procurement opportunity; no future restocking is available.

1-6609016-9 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters): Select this part for new designs or redesigns where wire lead termination is acceptable. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. This substitute provides equivalent electrical performance and regulatory compliance (CSA, UL, VDE certifications). The wire lead termination requires circuit board layout modification compared to solder eyelet designs.

Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance and multi-agency approvals required for commercial power entry applications. Selection between these parts depends on termination method compatibility with your circuit board design and long-term supply requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-6609016-9 directly replace GL-2150C-10 in existing assemblies?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed for IEC 320-C14 interface, current rating, and filtering specifications. However, termination method differs: GL-2150C-10 uses solder eyelets while 1-6609016-9 uses wire leads. Direct board-level substitution requires circuit board redesign to accommodate wire lead connections instead of eyelet mounting holes.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these connectors?

A: The GL-2150C-10 does not specify appliance inlet voltage rating in available documentation. The substitute part 1-6609016-9 is rated 120/250VAC, which is standard for IEC 320-C14 commercial power entry connectors.

Q: Are both parts suitable for international applications?

A: GL-2150C-10 holds CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. The substitute 1-6609016-9 holds CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. VDE certification provides additional European market recognition. Both parts meet RoHS3 compliance for international distribution.

Q: What is the difference between Tray and Bulk packaging?

A: Packaging type affects order quantities and handling. Tray packaging (GL-2150C-10) typically supports smaller order quantities with organized component presentation. Bulk packaging (1-6609016-9) is suited for higher-volume procurement. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is GL-2150C-10 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates KEMET has discontinued this product line. No future production runs are planned. Current inventory of 973 pieces represents the final available stock. For applications requiring long-term component availability, transition to the active substitute part 1-6609016-9 is recommended.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts specify Variable Size panel cutout dimensions. Detailed mechanical drawings must be consulted to confirm exact cutout specifications for your specific panel thickness and mounting configuration.
