Master Appliance Co 11583 Blue 10 Stud Spade Terminal Connector

Part Overview

The Master Appliance Co 11583 is an insulated spade terminal connector designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire. This component features a blue polyolefin insulation with heat shrink, a #10 stud configuration, and brazed seam construction for reliable electrical connections in free-hanging inline applications.

The 11583 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new assembly applications where this terminal specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 11583 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: 14-16 AWG specification must be maintained to ensure proper crimp contact pressure and electrical conductivity.

Stud Configuration: #10 stud size is non-negotiable for mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with mating connectors and terminals.

Termination Method: Crimp termination is the specified connection technology and cannot be substituted with alternative methods.

Insulation Specification: Polyolefin heat shrink insulation provides the required dielectric properties and environmental protection.

Terminal Type and Mounting: Standard terminal type with free-hanging inline mounting must be preserved for circuit board and harness integration.

The substitute part 11860 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, with the primary distinction being packaging configuration and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 11860 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 11583. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: wire gauge, stud size, termination method, insulation material, and mounting configuration.

The 11860 is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring continued manufacturer support and regulatory alignment for new designs and production applications. The 11583, designated as obsolete, is no longer actively manufactured or supported.

For applications currently specified with 11583 part numbers, the 11860 provides complete functional substitution without design modification or circuit performance impact. The packaging difference (bulk 50-pack configuration for 11860 versus unspecified packaging for 11583) reflects standard industry practice for active product lines and does not affect individual terminal performance or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 11860 be used as a direct replacement for the 11583 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 11860 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud size (#10), termination method (crimp), insulation material (polyolefin heat shrink), and mounting type (free-hanging inline). No design modification is required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 11583 is classified as obsolete, while the 11860 is an active product. The 11860 includes ROHS3 compliance certification. The 11860 is supplied in bulk 50-pack packaging, whereas the 11583 packaging specification is not documented.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the 11583 and 11860?

A: No. Both terminals are manufactured by Master Appliance Co within the Multiseal™ series and feature identical brazed seam construction, polyolefin insulation, and crimp termination specifications. Electrical performance and contact characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Why should I transition from the 11583 to the 11860?

A: The 11583 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 11860 provides the same functional performance with active product status, ensuring ongoing availability, manufacturer support, and regulatory compliance for current and future applications.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the 11860 affect individual terminal quality or performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration does not impact the electrical or mechanical properties of individual terminals. The 50-pack bulk packaging is standard for active product distribution and does not alter terminal specifications or performance characteristics.
