3M 62 Terminal Butt Splice Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 62 is an active, non-insulated terminal butt splice connector designed for inline, individual openings applications. This component is engineered for crimp termination on 14-16 AWG wire gauges. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for regulated industrial and commercial applications. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching functional specifications, electrical ratings, and mechanical compatibility parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3M 62 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Product Status: Active
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected

The Panduit Corp BS14-C meets all these criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. Both parts function identically in applications requiring non-insulated butt splice connectors for 14-16 AWG wire termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3M 62 and Panduit BS14-C are active products with identical regulatory compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and procurement requirements. The Panduit BS14-C includes brazed seam and serrated mating area features, which are manufacturing enhancements that do not alter functional compatibility. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements for regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panduit BS14-C replace the 3M 62 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring non-insulated butt splice connectors with crimp termination for 14-16 AWG wire. The terminal type, wire entry configuration, and electrical ratings are identical.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: terminal type (butt splice, inline, individual openings), number of wire entries (2), termination method (crimp), wire gauge (14-16 AWG), and insulation type (non-insulated).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No special handling or packaging modifications are required for interchangeability.

Q: Do the additional features on the Panduit BS14-C affect compatibility?

A: No. The brazed seam and serrated mating area are manufacturing enhancements that maintain functional equivalence with the 3M 62.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 3M 62 and Panduit BS14-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
