3M 62-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 62-S is a terminal butt splice connector designed for inline, individual openings crimp termination applications. This non-insulated splice terminal accommodates 14-16 AWG wire gauges and is classified as an active product with RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or application-specific requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Panduit Corp BS14-C is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 3M 62-S based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Terminal Type: Both parts are butt splice terminals with inline, individual openings configuration
• Wire Gauge: Both accommodate 14-16 AWG conductors
• Number of Wire Entries: Both feature 2 wire entry points
• Termination Method: Both utilize crimp termination
• Insulation: Both are non-insulated designs
• Packaging: Both are supplied in bulk format

These aligned parameters ensure functional equivalence in applications requiring 14-16 AWG butt splice crimp terminals.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3M 62-S and Panduit BS14-C are active products with current manufacturing status. The 3M 62-S carries RoHS compliance certification, while the Panduit BS14-C meets ROHS3 compliance standards, representing an enhanced regulatory position. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming equivalent export and tariff treatment. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, supply chain requirements, and any application-specific preferences regarding manufacturer features or certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the Panduit BS14-C a valid substitute for the 3M 62-S?

A: The Panduit BS14-C matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: terminal type (butt splice, inline, individual openings), wire gauge (14-16 AWG), wire entry count (2), termination method (crimp), and insulation type (non-insulated). Both parts are bulk-packaged and maintain active product status.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 3M 62-S is RoHS compliant, while the Panduit BS14-C is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in 14-16 AWG crimp applications?

A: Yes. Both terminals are designed for identical wire gauge ranges and crimp termination methods with matching connector configurations, supporting direct substitution in equivalent applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Panduit Pan-Term® series designation and the 3M part?

A: The Pan-Term® series is Panduit's product line designation. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it is a manufacturer classification only.

Q: Are there any feature differences noted between these parts?

A: The Panduit BS14-C includes brazed seam and serrated mating area features. The 3M 62-S does not list specific features in the provided data. Both parts maintain functional equivalence for standard 14-16 AWG butt splice crimp applications.
