Cinch Connectivity Solutions 56B Terminal Lug Strip Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Cinch Connectivity Solutions 56B is an 8-position terminal lug strip featuring 6 standard positions plus 2 ground positions with a 1.875" (47.63mm) pitch. This single-end terminal lug strip measures 0.375" W x 0.625" H and is constructed with an XPC board material rated UL94 HB. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing maintenance and repair applications where this component is specified in legacy equipment.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The provided substitute part, Eclipse Magnetics Ltd 828, is categorized as a cylindrical Alnico magnet with dimensions 1.500" Dia x 0.407" H. This part operates in a fundamentally different product category (magnets versus terminal lug strips) and does not share the core functional parameters required for direct substitution of the 56B terminal lug strip.

Substitution of the 56B requires identification of alternative terminal lug strips that maintain compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 8 (6 + 2 Ground)
• Pitch spacing: 1.875" (47.63mm)
• Terminal type: Single-end lug configuration
• Board dimensions and material compatibility
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Mounting hole diameter: 0.140" (4.66mm)

The Eclipse Magnetics 828 does not satisfy these substitution criteria and cannot serve as a functional equivalent for the 56B in terminal lug strip applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 56B is an obsolete terminal lug strip component. When sourcing replacements for legacy equipment, prioritize identification of active-status terminal lug strips from established connectivity manufacturers that match the specified pitch (1.875"), position count (8 with 2 ground), and single-end lug terminal configuration.

The Eclipse Magnetics 828 is not suitable for 56B replacement applications due to fundamental category mismatch. This part is a cylindrical magnet and does not provide terminal lug strip functionality.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, note that the 56B is RoHS non-compliant. Substitute parts should be evaluated against applicable regulatory requirements for the target application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Eclipse Magnetics 828 magnet replace the Cinch 56B terminal lug strip?

A: No. The 828 is a cylindrical Alnico magnet and does not provide terminal lug strip functionality. These are distinct product categories with no functional overlap.

Q: What parameters must a substitute terminal lug strip match to replace the 56B?

A: Critical parameters include 8-position configuration (6 + 2 ground), 1.875" pitch spacing, single-end lug terminal type, 0.140" mounting hole diameter, and compatible board material and dimensions.

Q: Is the 56B RoHS compliant?

A: No. The 56B is RoHS non-compliant. Substitute parts selected for new designs or regulated applications must meet applicable RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete product status?

A: Obsolete status indicates the 56B is no longer manufactured. Replacement components must be sourced from alternative manufacturers or from remaining inventory stock.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the 56B and potential substitutes?

A: The 56B carries RoHS non-compliant status. Substitute terminal lug strips should be evaluated for RoHS compliance requirements specific to the target application and regulatory jurisdiction.
