GT-2100 LINE FILTER 250VAC 10A CHASSIS - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GT-2100 is a single-phase EMC/EMI line filter rated for 250VAC at 10A, designed for chassis mount applications with threaded post (M4) termination. This component is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this filter specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GT-2100 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters that must align with the original specification:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Filter Type: Single Phase
• Configuration: Single Stage
• Voltage - Rated AC: 250V
• Current Rating: 10 A
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Flexible Parameters (allowing substitution with documented differences):

• Termination Style: May differ from threaded post (M4) if mechanical integration is redesigned
• Voltage - Rated DC: Substitute may have higher DC rating without affecting AC operation
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute may have extended range
• Approval Agencies: Substitute may have additional certifications

The GTX-2100-Y03 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while offering enhanced specifications in non-critical areas.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (No Redesign): The GT-2100 is Last Time Buy status. Direct replacement with identical specifications is not available from the manufacturer. Existing inventory should be reserved for critical applications requiring the threaded post (M4) termination.

For New Designs and Redesign Scenarios: The GTX-2100-Y03 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is in Active production status. This part maintains all critical electrical parameters (250VAC, 10A, single-phase, single-stage configuration) and chassis mount form factor. The primary design change required is accommodation of terminal block termination instead of threaded posts. This substitute offers:

• Continued availability from active production
• Enhanced DC voltage rating (560V) providing additional design margin
• Documented approval agencies (cUL, TUV, UL) for regulated applications
• Extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 55°C)
• ROHS3 compliance maintained

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. The GTX-2100-Y03 carries REACH Unaffected status compared to GT-2100 REACH Affected status, potentially simplifying supply chain documentation for certain markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GTX-2100-Y03 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for GT-2100?

A: No. While the electrical specifications are compatible, the termination style differs. GT-2100 uses threaded post (M4) connections, while GTX-2100-Y03 uses terminal block connections. Mechanical redesign of the connection interface is required.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Filter type (single phase), configuration (single stage), AC voltage rating (250V), current rating (10A), mounting type (chassis mount), and RoHS compliance status must remain identical. Termination style, DC voltage rating, and operating temperature range may differ.

Q: Is GTX-2100-Y03 approved for the same applications as GT-2100?

A: GTX-2100-Y03 carries cUL, TUV, and UL approvals, providing documented certification for regulated applications. GT-2100 approval agencies are not specified in available documentation. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance for environmental regulations.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: GT-2100 has 892 pieces in stock but is Last Time Buy (discontinued). GTX-2100-Y03 has 680 pieces in stock and is in Active production status, ensuring long-term availability.

Q: Does the higher DC voltage rating of GTX-2100-Y03 (560V vs. unspecified) affect AC operation?

A: No. The DC voltage rating is an additional specification that does not affect performance in 250VAC applications. The higher rating provides additional design margin and flexibility for applications with mixed AC/DC requirements.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: GT-2100 operates from -20°C to 55°C. GTX-2100-Y03 extends the lower limit to -25°C, providing 5°C additional margin for cold environment applications. The upper limit remains identical.

Q: Are there any REACH or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: GT-2100 is REACH Affected; GTX-2100-Y03 is REACH Unaffected. This may simplify supply chain compliance documentation for certain markets, though both parts are compliant with applicable regulations.
