PE830206 AC Power Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PE830206 is an IEC 320-C14 power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Curtis Industries, designed for panel-mount applications with integrated EMI/RFI filtering and dual fuse protection. This component functions as a filtered power inlet module for AC appliances requiring 250VAC at 6A maximum current. The part is currently active in production with 777 units in stock. Substitute parts become necessary when Curtis Industries inventory is unavailable, when alternative termination methods are required for specific assembly processes, or when sourcing from multiple qualified suppliers is mandated by procurement specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PE830206 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector style and type must remain IEC 320-C14 receptacle with male blades in module configuration. Current and voltage ratings must support minimum 6A at 250VAC. The component must provide integrated EMI/RFI filtering at commercial grade with on-off switch functionality. Fuse accommodation must include twin fused drawer configuration. Mounting must be panel-mount snap-in type compatible with panel thickness 0.031" to 0.125". All substitute parts must maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance with equivalent regulatory approvals (CE, CSA, UL minimum).

Termination method (Quick Connect 0.110" versus Solder Eyelet) and packaging format (Bulk versus Tray) are non-critical parameters that may vary between substitutes without affecting functional compatibility in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FN382-6-22 qualifies as a functional substitute for the PE830206 based on matching connector style, type, current rating, filtering specification, switch functionality, mounting method, and fuse configuration. Both parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance.

Selection between PE830206 and FN382-6-22 should be based on termination requirements: PE830206 uses Quick Connect terminals suitable for press-fit assembly, while FN382-6-22 uses Solder Eyelet terminals for wave or hand soldering processes. Panel thickness compatibility is equivalent across both parts (0.031" to 0.125" minimum). The FN382-6-22 provides documented UL94 V-2 flammability rating and IP40 ingress protection, which may be required by specific application standards. Regulatory approvals differ slightly; PE830206 includes TUV certification while FN382-6-22 includes VDE certification. Both maintain CSA and UL approvals as common qualifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FN382-6-22 directly replace PE830206 in existing designs?

A: Functional replacement is possible if the assembly process accommodates solder eyelet termination instead of quick connect terminals. Electrical performance, filtering characteristics, and safety ratings are equivalent. Panel mounting dimensions and fuse accommodation are compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is termination method. PE830206 uses quick connect terminals (0.110" / 2.8mm) for press-fit assembly. FN382-6-22 uses solder eyelet terminals for soldering. Both provide identical IEC 320-C14 connector functionality with 6A current capacity and commercial-grade EMI/RFI filtering.

Q: Are both parts suitable for 250VAC applications?

A: PE830206 is explicitly rated for 250VAC at 6A. FN382-6-22 voltage rating is not specified in available data; verification with Schaffner EMC Inc. is required before application in 250VAC circuits.

Q: Do packaging differences affect compatibility?

A: No. PE830206 is supplied in Bulk packaging while FN382-6-22 is supplied in Tray packaging. This affects logistics and handling only, not functional performance or electrical characteristics.

Q: Which certifications are common to both parts?

A: Both PE830206 and FN382-6-22 hold CSA and UL approvals. PE830206 additionally includes CE and TUV certifications. FN382-6-22 additionally includes VDE certification. Application requirements determine which certification set is necessary.

Q: Can panel thickness vary between applications?

A: Both parts accommodate panel thickness from 0.031" to 0.125" (0.79mm to 3.18mm), with FN382-6-22 supporting marginally thicker panels up to 0.126" (3.20mm). This range covers standard industrial panel materials.
