Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 3M 40016 is based on the following criteria derived from provided parameters:

• Component Category: Both main and substitute parts are classified as Terminals
• Terminal Function: Ring terminal connector application
• Contact Material: Aluminum construction
• Compliance Requirements: RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000 alignment

The identified substitute, Panduit Corp LAA6-56-X, meets these functional and compliance parameters. However, the Panduit part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which affects its practical availability for new designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3M 40016: Recommended for new designs and ongoing production. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability. RoHS and REACH compliance certifications are current.

Panduit LAA6-56-X: Not recommended for new designs due to discontinued status at DiGi Electronics. This part may be considered only for legacy system maintenance or repair applications where existing inventory is available through alternative distribution channels.

For applications requiring aluminum ring terminal connectors with active product status and assured supply continuity, the 3M 40016 remains the primary selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the Panduit LAA6-56-X a substitute for the 3M 40016?

A: Both components are classified as terminal connectors with aluminum contact material, RoHS compliance, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications. Substitution is based on functional category alignment and regulatory compliance parameters.

Q: Can the Panduit LAA6-56-X be used in new production?

A: The Panduit LAA6-56-X is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. New designs should specify the 3M 40016 to ensure supply chain continuity and long-term availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet RoHS and REACH requirements. The Panduit part carries ROHS3 certification while the 3M part is RoHS Compliant. Both share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What parameters determine substitution eligibility for aluminum ring terminal connectors?

A: Substitution is determined by terminal category classification, contact material (aluminum), compliance certifications (RoHS/REACH), and regulatory codes (ECCN/HTSUS). Specific electrical and mechanical parameters not provided in the component data cannot be used as substitution criteria.

Q: Should packaging type influence the substitution decision?

A: The 3M 40016 packaging is not specified in available data. The Panduit substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging considerations should be evaluated based on application requirements and supply chain logistics.
