Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GT-2150R is determined by the following critical parameters:

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Filter Type: Single Phase (required match)
• Configuration: Single Stage (required match)
• Voltage - Rated AC: 250V (required match)
• Current Rating: Must equal or exceed 15A
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (required match)

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated DC: Higher ratings provide broader application compatibility
• Frequency - Operating: 50/60Hz operation supports standard industrial applications

Physical & Termination Parameters:

• Termination Style: May differ from original threaded post configuration if mechanical integration permits
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must cover or exceed the original range

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (maintained)
• Regulatory Approvals: Presence of cUL, TUV, UL certifications enhances substitute viability

The GTX-2160-Y03 satisfies all functional compatibility requirements while providing enhanced electrical ratings and broader regulatory approvals.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: GTX-2160-Y03

The GTX-2160-Y03 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the GT-2150R. This part maintains all critical functional parameters: single-phase filter configuration, single-stage design, 250VAC rating, and chassis mount installation. The substitute provides a current rating of 16A, which exceeds the original 15A requirement, and includes a 560V DC rating for enhanced application flexibility.

The GTX-2160-Y03 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. This part holds multiple regulatory approvals (cUL, TUV, UL) compared to the original part, providing broader market acceptance and compliance coverage. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance.

The primary design consideration for substitution is the termination style change from threaded post (M4) to terminal block. This modification requires mechanical integration assessment during implementation but does not affect electrical performance or filtering characteristics.

The extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C) of the substitute provides improved thermal performance margin relative to the original specification (-20°C ~ 55°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GTX-2160-Y03 directly replace the GT-2150R in existing designs?

A: The GTX-2160-Y03 provides electrical and functional equivalence for single-phase EMC/EMI line filtering at 250VAC. The termination style differs (terminal block versus threaded post M4), requiring mechanical integration assessment. Electrical performance and filtering characteristics are compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the higher current rating (16A vs. 15A) on the substitute?

A: The 16A rating on the GTX-2160-Y03 exceeds the original 15A specification, providing operational margin and compatibility with applications requiring up to 16A. This does not create incompatibility with 15A applications.

Q: Does the 560V DC rating on the GTX-2160-Y03 affect its use in 250VAC applications?

A: The 560V DC rating represents the maximum DC voltage capability of the substitute. The 250VAC rating remains the specified AC operating voltage. The higher DC rating does not affect AC performance and provides broader application flexibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The GTX-2160-Y03 includes cUL, TUV, and UL approvals, whereas the original GT-2150R does not specify approval agencies. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. The substitute provides enhanced regulatory documentation and market acceptance.

Q: What is the impact of the terminal block termination on installation?

A: Terminal block termination requires different mechanical integration compared to threaded post (M4) termination. Installation procedures and mounting hardware differ. Electrical performance and filtering function remain equivalent.

Q: Why is the GT-2150R designated as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part. The GTX-2160-Y03 is the active substitute, ensuring continued product availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of the substitute (-25°C vs. -20°C minimum) significant?

A: The GTX-2160-Y03 operates to -25°C minimum, providing 5°C additional low-temperature capability compared to the original -20°C specification. This represents improved thermal performance margin for applications in cold environments.
