Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GT-2200R is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the single-phase EMC/EMI line filter category. The critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility are:

Electrical Parameters:

• AC voltage rating of 250V (minimum requirement)
• Current capacity of 20A (minimum requirement)
• Single-phase filter configuration
• Single-stage topology

Mechanical Parameters:

• Chassis mount form factor
• Physical compatibility with installation envelope

Compliance Parameters:

• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• REACH unaffected status

The GTX-2200-Y03 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical parameters (250VAC, 20A, single-phase, single-stage) and mechanical mounting type (chassis mount). The substitute part provides additional DC voltage rating capability (560V) and enhanced operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 55°C), representing a superset of the original part's specifications. Termination style differs (terminal block versus threaded post), requiring mechanical interface evaluation during integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GTX-2200-Y03 is the KEMET manufacturer-recommended substitute for the GT-2200R. Selection of this substitute part is supported by the following engineering factors:

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute maintains identical AC voltage (250V) and current (20A) ratings, ensuring functional equivalence in single-phase EMC/EMI filtering applications. The additional DC voltage rating (560V) provides enhanced capability without compromising AC-rated performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature chassis mount configuration. However, termination style differs: the original uses threaded post (M4) while the substitute uses terminal block. This difference requires mechanical interface redesign or adapter consideration during implementation.

Compliance and Availability: The GTX-2200-Y03 maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory posture. The substitute carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the GT-2200R.

Operational Envelope: The substitute provides an extended lower operating temperature limit (-25°C versus -20°C), expanding the usable temperature range. The specified 50/60Hz operating frequency aligns with standard industrial power distribution standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GTX-2200-Y03 directly replace the GT-2200R without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid for AC filtering applications at 250VAC, 20A. Mechanical interface modification is required due to termination style change from threaded post (M4) to terminal block. Circuit topology remains unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the DC voltage rating difference?

A: The GT-2200R does not specify a DC voltage rating. The GTX-2200-Y03 specifies 560V DC rating, indicating capability for DC bus filtering applications in addition to AC line filtering. This represents expanded application scope without degradation of AC performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The GT-2200R packaging is listed as dash (standard), while the GTX-2200-Y03 is packaged in boxes. This affects receiving, storage, and handling procedures but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Does the operating frequency specification affect substitution validity?

A: The GTX-2200-Y03 specifies 50/60Hz operation, covering standard industrial power frequencies. The GT-2200R does not specify operating frequency. Both parts function identically in 50/60Hz applications, which encompasses the vast majority of general-purpose EMC/EMI filtering use cases.

Q: What is the impact of the extended temperature range on part selection?

A: The GTX-2200-Y03 operates from -25°C to 55°C compared to the GT-2200R range of -20°C to 55°C. The substitute provides 5°C additional low-temperature capability, beneficial for applications in cold environments or equipment with stringent thermal specifications.

Q: Is the Last Time Buy status of the GT-2200R a reason to transition to the substitute?

A: Yes. Last Time Buy status indicates production discontinuation. The GTX-2200-Y03 carries Active status, ensuring long-term availability. For new designs or long-lifecycle products, transition to the substitute is recommended to avoid future supply constraints.
