Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Master Appliance Co 11831 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently specified with part number 10820. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical characteristics across all critical parameters while offering the following advantages:

Product Status: Part 11831 carries Active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete status of 10820.

Regulatory Compliance: Part 11831 achieves ROHS3 Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement cycles. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Packaging Consideration: Part 11831 is supplied in bulk packaging (50-piece packs), whereas part 10820 packaging specification is not defined. Procurement planning should account for this packaging difference in inventory management.

Series Continuity: Both parts belong to the Solderseal™ series, maintaining design consistency and performance characteristics within the product line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Master Appliance Co 11831 be used as a direct replacement for 10820 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Part 11831 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of 10820, including wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud size (1/4"), terminal geometry (circular), termination method (crimp), and insulation specifications (polyolefin heat shrink, blue color). Direct substitution is supported for functional equivalence.

Q: What is the primary reason for transitioning from 10820 to 11831?

A: Part 10820 is classified as Obsolete, creating supply and long-term availability risk. Part 11831 is Active status, ensuring reliable procurement. Additionally, 11831 provides ROHS3 Compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new applications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting 11831 for 10820?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are identical in terminal type, wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and insulation material. The substitution is functionally transparent to circuit design and assembly processes.

Q: How does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Part 10820 packaging is unspecified in available documentation. Part 11831 is supplied in bulk packaging containing 50 pieces per pack. Procurement and inventory management should account for this packaging configuration in ordering and storage planning.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Part 11831 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current environmental standards. Part 10820 lists RoHS Status as Not applicable due to its obsolete classification. For new designs and procurement, part 11831 provides enhanced regulatory alignment.
