PX0690/28 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PX0690/28 is an AC power entry connector receptacle manufactured by Bulgin, designed for IEC 320-C18 applications. This component functions as a panel-mount power inlet with male blade termination, rated for 10A at 250VAC in commercial, unfiltered configurations. The part is currently active in production with 1335 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to supply constraints, design standardization, or inventory availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PX0690/28 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: IEC 320-C18 (industry standard specification)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Male Blades (functional interface requirement)
• Current Rating: 10A (electrical capacity)
• Voltage Rating: 250VAC (electrical capacity)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Flange (mechanical interface)
• Filter Type: Unfiltered - Commercial (application class)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (safety compliance)
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL, VDE (regulatory acceptance)

The substitute part 713-00/28 (Qualtek) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. A variance exists in the Number of Positions parameter (2 vs. 3) and Termination method (Solder Eyelet vs. Solder), which may affect circuit design and PCB layout compatibility. These differences require engineering evaluation for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PX0690/28 and 713-00/28 maintain active product status and comply with ROHS3 requirements. The PX0690/28 carries ENEC certification in addition to CSA, UL, and VDE approvals, providing broader European regulatory acceptance. The 713-00/28 is certified by CSA, UL, and VDE.

The primary engineering consideration is the difference in Number of Positions (3 vs. 2) and Termination method (Solder vs. Solder Eyelet). The PX0690/28 accommodates three positions with direct solder termination, while the 713-00/28 provides two positions with eyelet termination. Circuit design, PCB layout, and connector pin configuration must align with the selected part's specifications. Both parts satisfy identical electrical ratings and safety compliance requirements for 10A, 250VAC IEC 320-C18 applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 713-00/28 directly replace the PX0690/28 in all applications?

A: Electrical and safety specifications are equivalent. However, the difference in Number of Positions (2 vs. 3) and Termination method (Solder Eyelet vs. Solder) requires circuit design verification. PCB layout and connector pin assignments must be compatible with the substitute part's configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the Number of Positions difference?

A: Number of Positions refers to the quantity of electrical contacts in the connector. The PX0690/28 has 3 positions; the 713-00/28 has 2 positions. This affects circuit design, power distribution, and grounding configurations. Applications requiring all three positions cannot use the 2-position substitute without design modification.

Q: How do the termination methods differ?

A: The PX0690/28 uses direct solder termination, while the 713-00/28 uses solder eyelet termination. Solder eyelet termination provides a pre-formed connection point, potentially affecting PCB pad design and soldering procedures. Both methods are suitable for panel-mount applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the PX0690/28 and 713-00/28 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to each part?

A: The PX0690/28 holds CSA, ENEC, UL, and VDE certifications. The 713-00/28 holds CSA, UL, and VDE certifications. Both meet North American (UL, CSA) and European (VDE) standards. The PX0690/28 includes additional ENEC certification for European markets.

Q: Are these parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 10A at 250VAC and are classified as Unfiltered - Commercial. They are electrically equivalent for power inlet applications within these specifications.
