Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SG-T KEG has been identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 412-KEG. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Both parts are twist-on wire cap terminals with wing connector design
• Termination Method: Both use twist-on termination
• Insulation: Both are fully insulated
• Color: Both are tan
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The SG-T KEG accommodates 8-22 AWG, which encompasses the 10-22 AWG range of the 412-KEG
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by 3M

The SG-T KEG represents an active product with expanded wire gauge capability and enhanced features, making it a direct functional replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SG-T KEG is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 412-KEG. Selection of the SG-T KEG is supported by:

• Functional Equivalence: Identical terminal type, termination method, insulation class, and color
• Wire Gauge Coverage: The SG-T KEG wire gauge range (8-22 AWG) fully encompasses the 412-KEG specification (10-22 AWG)
• Active Product Status: The SG-T KEG is in active production, ensuring availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: The SG-T KEG is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards
• Manufacturer Certification: Direct recommendation from 3M, the original equipment manufacturer

For applications currently specified with 412-KEG, the SG-T KEG provides direct substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SG-T KEG be used as a direct replacement for 412-KEG in existing designs?

A: Yes. The SG-T KEG is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts share identical terminal type, termination method, insulation, and color specifications. The SG-T KEG wire gauge range (8-22 AWG) fully covers the 412-KEG range (10-22 AWG).

Q: What is the difference in wire gauge capability between these parts?

A: The 412-KEG is rated for 10-22 AWG wire. The SG-T KEG accommodates 8-22 AWG wire, providing expanded capability for smaller gauge applications while maintaining full compatibility with the original 10-22 AWG specification.

Q: Why is the 412-KEG classified as obsolete?

A: The 412-KEG has been superseded by the SG-T KEG in 3M's product line. The SG-T KEG offers equivalent functionality with enhanced features and active production status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 412-KEG packaging specification is not provided. The SG-T KEG is available in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application.

Q: Does the SG-T KEG meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The SG-T KEG is RoHS compliant. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the Series designation for the SG-T KEG?

A: The SG-T KEG belongs to the Secure Grip series, representing 3M's current generation of twist-on wire cap terminals.
