PE702003 IEC 320-C14 Power Entry Connector Receptacle

Part Overview

The PE702003 is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Curtis Industries, designed for IEC 320-C14 panel mount applications. This filtered power entry module features male blades, a fuse holder with drawer, and voltage selector functionality. The component is rated for 3A at 250VAC and accommodates commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering. Product status is Active with 741 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, connector style, filtering characteristics, and mechanical mounting specifications align with application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PE702003 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector style must be IEC 320-C14
• Connector type must be Receptacle, Male Blades - Module
• Number of positions must be 3
• Filter type must be Filtered (EMI, RFI) - Commercial
• Mounting type must be Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Fuse holder with drawer must be present
• Panel thickness accommodation must overlap with 0.031" ~ 0.125" range
• Approval agencies must include UL and CSA at minimum

The FN370-4-21 manufactured by Schaffner EMC Inc. meets these substitution criteria. While the filter current rating differs (4A versus 3A), the appliance inlet current rating specification for the substitute is not provided in the available data, and the higher filter rating does not restrict operation at 3A. Panel thickness accommodation (0.031" ~ 0.126") is compatible with the original specification range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PE702003 and FN370-4-21 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these components should be based on:

• Regulatory requirements: PE702003 includes TUV certification; FN370-4-21 includes VDE certification. Applications requiring specific regional approvals should verify certification alignment.
• Packaging format: PE702003 is supplied in Bulk packaging; FN370-4-21 is supplied in Tray packaging. Procurement and inventory management processes may influence selection.
• Filter current rating: FN370-4-21 is rated for 4A filtering versus 3A for PE702003. This higher rating provides additional margin in filtered current capacity.
• Material flammability: FN370-4-21 specifies UL94 V-2 material rating; PE702003 does not provide this specification.

Both components satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for IEC 320-C14 panel mount power entry applications with commercial EMI/RFI filtering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN370-4-21 be used as a direct replacement for PE702003?

A: Yes, for applications requiring IEC 320-C14 panel mount receptacles with commercial EMI/RFI filtering, 3-position configuration, and fuse holder functionality. Both components support identical connector styles, mounting methods, and panel thickness ranges. Verify that regional certification requirements (CE, CSA, TUV, UL, VDE) align with your application.

Q: What is the significance of the different filter current ratings (3A vs. 4A)?

A: The filter current rating indicates the maximum current the filtering stage is designed to handle. FN370-4-21 with a 4A filter rating can operate at the PE702003's 3A appliance inlet rating without exceeding filter specifications. The higher rating does not affect compatibility at lower current levels.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. PE702003 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while FN370-4-21 is supplied in Tray packaging. This affects handling, storage, and procurement processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts accommodate the same panel thickness?

A: Both components support overlapping panel thickness ranges. PE702003 accommodates 0.031" ~ 0.125" (0.79mm ~ 3.18mm); FN370-4-21 accommodates 0.031" ~ 0.126" (0.79mm ~ 3.20mm). The ranges are effectively equivalent for standard panel applications.

Q: Which certifications should I prioritize for my application?

A: PE702003 holds CE, CSA, TUV, and UL certifications. FN370-4-21 holds CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. Identify which certifications are required by your regional standards and application specifications, then select the component that meets those requirements.
