Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Master Appliance Co 10841 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Gender: Female
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Type: Fully Insulated Heat Shrink
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

The substitute part Master Appliance Co 11846 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters, establishing direct functional equivalence. The primary distinction between these components is product status and packaging configuration, not electrical or mechanical performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Master Appliance Co 11846

The Master Appliance Co 11846 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 10841 connector. Selection of part 11846 is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical connector parameters match exactly, including tab width, wire gauge range, gender, termination method, insulation configuration, contact material, and contact finish. These parameters determine connector compatibility within the Quick Connect 0.250" female interface standard.

Product Status Advantage: Part 11846 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and distribution support, eliminating supply chain discontinuity associated with the obsolete 10841.

Compliance Enhancement: Part 11846 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, providing superior environmental and moisture handling characteristics compared to the non-applicable status of the original part. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected and EAR99 export classification equivalence.

Packaging Consideration: Part 11846 is supplied in bulk packaging (50-piece configuration), whereas the original part number does not specify packaging detail. Bulk packaging is standard for this connector category and does not affect individual connector performance or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Master Appliance Co 11846 be used as a direct replacement for 10841 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 11846 connector is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 10841 across all functional parameters: 0.250" tab width, 14-16 AWG wire gauge, female gender, crimp termination, fully insulated heat shrink construction, brass contact material with tin finish, and free-hanging in-line mounting. No circuit redesign or connector interface modification is required.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 10841 to 11846?

A: The 10841 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The 11846 is an active product with current supply chain support. Transitioning to 11846 ensures long-term component availability for maintenance and production requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these two parts?

A: Yes. The 11846 carries ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) certification, while the 10841 lists these parameters as not applicable. Both parts maintain identical REACH Unaffected and EAR99 export classification status. The enhanced compliance profile of 11846 reflects current manufacturing standards.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of 11846 affect individual connector specifications?

A: No. Packaging configuration (bulk versus other formats) does not alter connector electrical or mechanical performance. Individual 11846 connectors are identical in function and interface to 10841 connectors regardless of packaging quantity.

Q: Are both connectors part of the same Solderseal™ series?

A: Yes. Both the 10841 and 11846 are Solderseal™ series connectors, confirming design family equivalence and interface standardization.

Q: What wire gauge range is supported by these connectors?

A: Both connectors support 14-16 AWG wire gauge range. This specification determines the acceptable wire diameter for crimp termination and electrical contact integrity.
