Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 713-00/63 (Qualtek) qualifies as an equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector style: IEC 320-C18
• Identical connector type: Receptacle, Male Blades
• Identical current rating: 10A
• Identical voltage rating: 250VAC
• Identical mounting type: Panel Mount, Flange
• Identical termination: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)
• Identical material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Identical filter type: Unfiltered - Commercial
• Identical regulatory approvals: CSA, UL, VDE (subset of main part approvals)
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part maintains functional and electrical equivalence across all critical parameters required for direct replacement in IEC 320-C18 panel mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PX0690/63 and 713-00/63 are active products with full regulatory compliance. The PX0690/63 carries ENEC approval in addition to CSA, UL, and VDE certifications, providing broader European market acceptance. The 713-00/63 maintains CSA, UL, and VDE approvals, meeting North American and European standards. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for commercial power distribution applications. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, approval requirements for the target market, and design specifications regarding the number of positions required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 713-00/63 directly replace the PX0690/63 in all applications?

A: The 713-00/63 is electrically and mechanically equivalent for IEC 320-C18 panel mount applications with identical current and voltage ratings. However, the difference in the number of positions (2 vs. 3) must be evaluated against specific circuit design requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the number of positions difference?

A: The number of positions refers to the internal contact configuration. The PX0690/63 has 3 positions while the 713-00/63 has 2 positions. This difference affects the internal wiring configuration and must align with the power distribution circuit design.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same regulatory environments?

A: Both parts meet CSA, UL, and VDE standards. The PX0690/63 additionally carries ENEC approval. For applications requiring ENEC certification, the PX0690/63 is the specified choice.

Q: What is the quick connect termination specification?

A: Both parts use Quick Connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) blade width, enabling direct connection to standard quick connect receptacles without soldering.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The PX0690/63 has 995 pieces in stock, while the 713-00/63 has 3093 pieces available. Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions based on project timelines.
