Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GSF1.2012.31 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style & Type: Both parts must maintain IEC 320-C14 receptacle configuration with male blades in module form
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating (10A) and voltage rating (250VAC) must be identical
• Position Count: 3-position configuration must be preserved
• Fuse Accommodation: Both parts must support fuse integration
• Safety Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and multi-agency approvals (CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL) must be maintained
• Ingress Protection: IP40 rating must be consistent
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be preserved

The GSF1.2002.31 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary difference lies in mounting configuration: GSF1.2002.31 includes panel mount capability with flange and through-hole right-angle termination, whereas GSF1.2012.31 does not specify mounting type. This distinction does not affect electrical or functional equivalence for applications where panel mounting is not required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GSF1.2002.31 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete GSF1.2012.31 based on electrical and functional equivalence. Both parts maintain identical current and voltage ratings, connector configuration, and safety certifications. The GSF1.2002.31 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability.

Selection of GSF1.2002.31 is appropriate for applications requiring IEC 320-C14 receptacle functionality at 10A/250VAC with fuse accommodation. The addition of panel mount capability in GSF1.2002.31 provides design flexibility without compromising electrical performance. Both parts satisfy CCC, CSA, ENEC, and UL compliance requirements and maintain ROHS3 regulatory status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GSF1.2002.31 directly replace GSF1.2012.31 in existing designs?

A: Yes, GSF1.2002.31 provides electrical and functional equivalence. Both parts share identical current ratings (10A), voltage ratings (250VAC), connector style (IEC 320-C14), and safety certifications. The primary design difference is mounting configuration; GSF1.2002.31 includes panel mount capability, which does not affect compatibility in applications where this feature is not utilized.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector style (IEC 320-C14), connector type (receptacle with male blades), electrical ratings (10A/250VAC), position count (3), fuse accommodation capability, flammability rating (UL94 V-0), ingress protection (IP40), and regulatory compliance (CCC, CSA, ENEC, UL certifications and ROHS3 status).

Q: Why is GSF1.2012.31 classified as obsolete?

A: GSF1.2012.31 is no longer in active production. GSF1.2002.31 represents the current active equivalent within the GSF1 series, offering the same electrical specifications with enhanced mounting options.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. GSF1.2002.31 currently maintains higher inventory availability (901 pcs) compared to GSF1.2012.31 (834 pcs), supporting consistent procurement for new designs and production requirements.

Q: Do both parts accommodate fuses?

A: Yes, both GSF1.2012.31 and GSF1.2002.31 accommodate fuses for circuit protection. Fuses are not included with either part and must be sourced separately according to application requirements.
