Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for GSP1.8101.2 is determined by the following critical parameters that must align across alternatives:

Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (250VAC minimum), current rating (10A minimum for appliance inlet applications), and connector type (receptacle with male blades).

Mechanical Compatibility: Panel mount configuration with flange and right-angle orientation, panel cutout dimensions (30.30mm x 22.50mm nominal tolerance), and panel thickness accommodation (0.118" / 3.00mm).

Regulatory Compliance: Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), ingress protection (IP40), and approval by recognized agencies (CCC, cURus, ENEC, or equivalent).

Termination Method: Solder termination for permanent circuit board integration.

The identified substitutes GSP1.8101.1 (SCHURTER Inc.) and 703W-00/52 (Qualtek) meet these criteria as active products with equivalent electrical ratings and mechanical mounting specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GSP1.8101.1 (SCHURTER Inc.) is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains identical panel cutout dimensions (30.30mm x 22.50mm), identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), identical ingress protection (IP40), and identical approval agency certifications (CCC, cURus, ENEC). The part is active and ROHS3 compliant. The current rating of 10A meets the appliance inlet specification, though the original part rated 15A. This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs where the 10A rating is acceptable.

703W-00/52 (Qualtek) is a secondary alternative. This part maintains equivalent electrical ratings (250VAC, 10A), identical mounting configuration, and identical panel thickness accommodation. Panel cutout dimensions differ slightly (31.30mm x 23.30mm versus 30.30mm x 22.50mm), requiring panel modification. Material flammability and ingress protection ratings are not specified in available data. Approval agencies differ (CSA, UL, VDE versus CCC, cURus, ENEC). This part is active and ROHS3 compliant. Selection requires confirmation that panel cutout modification is acceptable and that CSA/UL/VDE certifications meet application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GSP1.8101.1 directly replace GSP1.8101.2 without panel modification?

A: Yes. GSP1.8101.1 shares identical panel cutout dimensions (30.30mm x 22.50mm) and panel thickness specification (0.118" / 3.00mm), enabling direct mechanical substitution. Electrical compatibility is confirmed through matching voltage rating (250VAC), connector type (receptacle, male blades), and mounting configuration (panel mount, flange, right angle).

Q: What is the difference in current rating between the main part and substitutes?

A: GSP1.8101.2 is rated at 15A, while both GSP1.8101.1 and 703W-00/52 are rated at 10A for appliance inlet applications. The 10A rating is sufficient for standard IEC 320-C14 power entry applications. Verify that your application does not require the higher 15A capacity before selecting a substitute.

Q: Can 703W-00/52 be used as a substitute?

A: 703W-00/52 is electrically compatible (250VAC, 10A, receptacle male blades, solder termination) but requires panel modification due to different cutout dimensions (31.30mm x 23.30mm versus 30.30mm x 22.50mm). Additionally, material flammability and ingress protection specifications are not provided. Regulatory approval agencies differ (CSA, UL, VDE). Use this part only if panel modification is feasible and certifications meet application requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. GSP1.8101.1 and 703W-00/52 are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of GSP1.8101.2.

Q: What approval agencies certify these parts?

A: GSP1.8101.2 and GSP1.8101.1 are certified by CCC, cURus, and ENEC. 703W-00/52 is certified by CSA, UL, and VDE. Confirm that the certifications of your selected substitute align with your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between direct and similar substitutes?

A: GSP1.8101.1 is classified as a direct substitute due to identical panel cutout dimensions, identical flammability rating, identical ingress protection, and identical approval agencies. 703W-00/52 is classified as a similar substitute because it requires panel modification and has different certifications and unspecified material/ingress protection ratings.
