GL-2150C-30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GL-2150C-30 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. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued component availability for new designs, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GL-2150C-30 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector style must be IEC 320-C14
• Connector type must be Receptacle with Male Blades
• Number of positions must be 3
• Filter type must be Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Current rating must be 15A minimum

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Flange
• Features must support Front or Rear Side Mount
• Panel cutout dimensions must be Variable Size

Regulatory & Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliance required
• Approval agencies must include UL and CSA

The substitute part 1-6609016-9 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is termination method: the substitute uses Wire Leads instead of Quick Connect terminals. This difference requires evaluation based on circuit board integration requirements and assembly procedures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GL-2150C-30 (KEMET): Use this part for new designs when Quick Connect termination is specified. Product status is Last Time Buy; existing inventory of 758 pieces is available. Regulatory approvals include CSA, TUV, and UL certifications. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

1-6609016-9 (TE Connectivity Corcom Filters): This part is suitable as a substitute when circuit design accommodates wire lead termination instead of quick connect terminals. Product status is Active, ensuring long-term availability with 1,026 pieces in current inventory. Regulatory approvals include CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. The substitute provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for IEC 320-C14 filtered power entry applications.

Selection Basis: Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (15A, IEC 320-C14, 3-position, commercial EMI/RFI filtering) and mechanical requirements (panel mount flange, front/rear side mount capability). The choice between them depends solely on termination method compatibility with the target application's circuit board design and assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-6609016-9 directly replace GL-2150C-30 without circuit modification?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. However, termination method differs: GL-2150C-30 uses Quick Connect terminals while 1-6609016-9 uses wire leads. Circuit board layout and connector footprint must be evaluated to determine if wire lead termination is compatible with existing PCB design.

Q: Are the filtering characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Both parts are specified as Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial with 15A current rating. Filtering performance parameters are equivalent for both components.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: GL-2150C-30 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 1-6609016-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. GL-2150C-30 holds CSA, TUV, and UL approvals. 1-6609016-9 holds CSA, UL, and VDE approvals. Both meet required regulatory standards for commercial power entry applications.

Q: Why is GL-2150C-30 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates KEMET has discontinued production of this part. Existing inventory of 758 pieces is available, but no future production is planned. 1-6609016-9 (TE Connectivity) is designated Active status, ensuring continued availability for future requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing equipment?

A: Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. Physical installation compatibility depends on panel cutout dimensions and mounting flange specifications, which are identical (Variable Size, Panel Mount Flange). Termination method must be compatible with existing wiring or connector interface.
