Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Master Appliance Co 10846 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.250" (6.35mm) — ensures mechanical compatibility with mating connectors
• Wire Gauge: 10-12 AWG — maintains electrical and thermal performance characteristics
• Gender: Male — ensures correct mating orientation
• Termination Method: Crimp — requires compatible crimping tool specifications
• Insulation Type: Fully Insulated Heat Shrink — provides equivalent environmental protection
• Mounting Configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line) — maintains form factor and installation method
• Color Designation: Yellow — preserves circuit identification standards
• Terminal Type: Standard — confirms mechanical and electrical interface compatibility

The substitute part Master Appliance Co 11849 meets all specified parameters and is manufactured by the same original equipment manufacturer, ensuring design and performance equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Master Appliance Co 11849 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 10846 connector. The 11849 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters while offering the following advantages:

Product Status: The 11849 is an active production part, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 10846.

Regulatory Compliance: The 11849 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, exceeding the regulatory status of the original part. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications, confirming equivalent export and environmental compliance.

Packaging Consideration: The 11849 is supplied in 50-piece bulk packaging, whereas the 10846 was supplied in bulk without specified quantity. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Moisture Sensitivity: The 11849 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture handling characteristics compared to the original part specification.

Selection of the 11849 for applications previously using the 10846 requires no design modifications, tool changes, or performance adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Master Appliance Co 11849 be used as a direct replacement for 10846 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 11849 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 10846 across all specified parameters. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 10846 is obsolete. The 11849 is an active production equivalent that maintains identical specifications while ensuring ongoing supply availability.

Q: Are the crimp tool requirements identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors use crimp termination for 10-12 AWG wire and require the same crimping tool specifications.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The 11849 is supplied in 50-piece bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or installation.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the parts?

A: The 11849 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which exceeds the regulatory status of the 10846. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Q: What is the wire gauge range for these connectors?

A: Both the 10846 and 11849 are rated for 10-12 AWG wire applications. Wire gauge selection must fall within this range for proper crimping and electrical performance.

Q: Is the tab width specification critical for mating compatibility?

A: Yes. The 0.250" (6.35mm) tab width is a critical dimension that determines compatibility with mating connector receptacles. Both parts share identical tab width specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring different wire gauges?

A: No. These connectors are specifically designed for 10-12 AWG wire. Using wire outside this gauge range will result in improper crimping and potential electrical failure.
