3M 13-8-W Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 13-8-W is a non-insulated ring terminal connector designed for circular stud applications. This component is classified as a crimp-style terminal for 10-12 AWG wire gauges with an 8 stud configuration. The part is currently active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when identical electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across manufacturers, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit assemblies and wiring harnesses.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 13-8-W is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal type must be circular
• Stud size must be 8
• Wire gauge range must be 10-12 AWG
• Termination method must be crimp
• Contact material must be copper with tin finish
• Insulation configuration must be non-insulated
• Mounting type must be free hanging (in-line)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status must be maintained

The Panduit Corp P10-8R-L meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3M 13-8-W and Panduit P10-8R-L are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain requirements, and inventory status. The 3M 13-8-W maintains 1748 pieces in current stock, while the Panduit P10-8R-L has 4641 pieces available. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements for regulated applications. The Panduit part includes serrated termination as an additional feature. Dimensional variations in width and length fall within acceptable tolerances for circular stud ring terminal applications and do not affect functional interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panduit P10-8R-L directly replace the 3M 13-8-W in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, contact material, and finish specifications. The dimensional differences in outer width and overall length do not affect functional compatibility for 8 stud circular ring terminal applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Q: What is the significance of the serrated termination feature on the Panduit part?

A: The serrated termination on the Panduit P10-8R-L is an additional feature that does not affect substitution eligibility. Both parts maintain equivalent crimp termination functionality for 10-12 AWG wire gauges.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts are active production components with brazed seam construction and tin-plated copper contacts, suitable for standard industrial and automotive wiring applications. Application-specific reliability requirements should be evaluated against end-use specifications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Both the 3M 13-8-W and Panduit P10-8R-L are supplied in bulk packaging, standard for ring terminal connector distribution.
