Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical current rating (16A) and voltage rating (277VAC/DC)
• Same contact material (brass) and finish (nickel)
• Equivalent ingress protection rating (IP66/IP68/IP69K)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Same connector type (receptacle, female sockets)
• Identical number of positions (3 with 2 Power + PE configuration)
• Matching termination method (screw)
• Same fastening type (push-twist) and orientation (keyed)
• Identical shell material (PBT, halogen free) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance:

• Same operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 120°C)
• Equivalent RoHS3 compliance status
• Identical REACH and ECCN classifications

The primary distinction is product status: PXP6010/03S/ST is obsolete, while PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 is active with improved availability (956 pcs in stock versus 801 pcs).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 is the recommended active equivalent for PXP6010/03S/ST. Selection is based on:

Product Status: The main part is obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The substitute maintains active status with higher inventory availability.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring no regulatory barriers to substitution.

Electrical & Mechanical Specifications: All critical parameters—current rating, voltage rating, contact material, shell material, ingress protection, and operating temperature range—are identical between the two parts.

Packaging Consideration: PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 is supplied in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement workflows but does not impact functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 be used as a direct replacement for PXP6010/03S/ST?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical rating (16A, 277VAC/DC), mechanical configuration (3-position receptacle with screw termination), contact material (nickel-plated brass), shell material (halogen-free PBT), and ingress protection (IP66/IP68/IP69K). The substitute is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product lifecycle status. PXP6010/03S/ST is obsolete, while PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 is active. The suffix "/0507" indicates a packaging or manufacturing revision. Both parts are functionally and electrically equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with cable opening specifications?

A: The main part does not specify cable opening dimensions. The substitute specifies 0.197" ~ 0.276" (5.00mm ~ 7.00mm). Verify that your cable diameter falls within this range for the substitute part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. No regulatory differences exist between the two parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: PXP6010/03S/ST/0507 should be selected for new designs due to active product status and superior availability. The obsolete status of PXP6010/03S/ST makes it unsuitable for ongoing procurement.
