Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GSF1.2012.01 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C14 (mandatory match)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades - Module (mandatory match)
• Current Rating: 10A (mandatory match)
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC (mandatory match)
• Number of Positions: 3 (mandatory match)
• Filter Type: Unfiltered - Commercial (mandatory match)
• Fuse Accommodation: Yes (mandatory match)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (mandatory match)
• Ingress Protection: IP40 (mandatory match)
• Approval Agencies: CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL (mandatory match)
• RoHS and REACH Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (mandatory match)

The GSF1.2002.01 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Differences in mounting type, termination method, and panel cutout dimensions do not affect core electrical functionality and represent design variations within the same connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GSF1.2002.01 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete GSF1.2012.01. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings, connector specifications, and regulatory compliance across all major approval agencies (CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL). Both are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

The GSF1.2002.01 carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete GSF1.2012.01. The substitute incorporates panel mount configuration with flange and through-hole right-angle termination, representing a design evolution within the GSF1 series while preserving core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Selection of the GSF1.2002.01 is appropriate for applications where the original GSF1.2012.01 specification is required, with the understanding that mounting and termination methods differ and must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GSF1.2002.01 directly replace GSF1.2012.01 in existing designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is complete. Both components share identical IEC 320-C14 connector specifications, 10A/250VAC ratings, and regulatory certifications. Physical integration depends on mounting configuration requirements. The GSF1.2002.01 features panel mount with flange and right-angle through-hole termination, whereas the GSF1.2012.01 mounting type is not specified. Design review is necessary to confirm mechanical fit within the target application.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: Electrical and connector specifications are identical. Differences exist in mounting type (GSF1.2002.01 specifies panel mount with flange and right-angle configuration), termination method (GSF1.2002.01 uses solder termination), and product status (GSF1.2002.01 is Active; GSF1.2012.01 is Obsolete). Both accommodate fuses and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and IP40 ingress protection.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both GSF1.2012.01 and GSF1.2002.01 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both carry approval from CCC, CSA, ENEC, and UL, meeting current regulatory requirements for AC power connector applications.

Q: Why is GSF1.2012.01 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The GSF1.2002.01 represents the current active equivalent within the GSF1 series, providing continued access to IEC 320-C14 receptacle functionality with modern design and supply chain assurance.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: GSF1.2002.01 has 893 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing immediate availability for component procurement.
