GT-2050R Single Phase EMC/EMI Line Filter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GT-2050R is a single phase EMC/EMI line filter manufactured by KEMET, rated for 250VAC at 5A with chassis mount configuration and threaded post (M4) termination. This component is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. The GT-2050R is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general purpose filtering applications in single phase power distribution systems.

Due to Last Time Buy status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GT-2050R is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Filter Type: Single Phase (required match)
• Configuration: Single Stage (required match)
• Voltage - Rated AC: 250V (required match)
• Current Rating: Equal to or greater than 5A (uprating acceptable)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (required match)
• Termination Style: Must accommodate M4 threaded post connection or equivalent mechanical interface

Regulatory & Environmental:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required match)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -20°C ~ 55°C

The GTX-2060-Y03 meets the electrical requirements (single phase, single stage, 250VAC rated, 6A current rating) and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). However, termination style differs from the original part, requiring mechanical interface evaluation during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GTX-2060-Y03 as Primary Substitute:

The GTX-2060-Y03 is an active product from KEMET with identical filter type, configuration, and AC voltage rating. The 6A current rating provides 20% margin above the GT-2050R requirement. The extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C) exceeds the original specification. ROHS3 compliance is maintained.

Regulatory Advantage:

The GTX-2060-Y03 carries cUL, TUV, and UL certifications, providing broader approval agency coverage compared to the GT-2050R.

Implementation Consideration:

Termination style differs: GTX-2060-Y03 uses terminal block connection versus GT-2050R threaded post (M4). Mechanical interface redesign is required during substitution implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GTX-2060-Y03 directly replace the GT-2050R without modification?

A: Electrical and functional compatibility is confirmed. However, termination style differs (terminal block versus threaded post M4), requiring mechanical interface modification in the application circuit.

Q: Is the higher current rating (6A vs 5A) of the GTX-2060-Y03 acceptable?

A: Yes. The 6A rating of the GTX-2060-Y03 exceeds the 5A requirement of GT-2050R, providing operational margin without compromising filter performance in the application.

Q: Does the GTX-2060-Y03 maintain RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. The GTX-2060-Y03 is ROHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory status of the GT-2050R.

Q: What is the significance of the 560V DC rating on the GTX-2060-Y03?

A: The GTX-2060-Y03 is rated for both 560V DC and 250V AC operation, providing broader application flexibility. For 250VAC applications, the AC rating is the controlling specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in box packaging. Physical dimensions and mounting footprint may differ due to termination style variation; mechanical verification is required.

Q: Why is the GT-2050R designated Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates KEMET has discontinued production. The GTX-2060-Y03 represents the active product line continuation for this filter category.
