64-W Terminal Butt Splice 8 AWG Crimp Connector

Part Overview

The 64-W is a non-insulated terminal butt splice connector manufactured by 3M, designed for inline crimp termination of 8 AWG wire. This component features a brazed seam construction and is classified as Active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 64-W terminal is permissible with parts meeting the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Wire Gauge: 8 AWG
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation: Non-Insulated

The SCS8-L manufactured by Panduit Corp satisfies all mandatory substitution criteria. Both components are classified as Active products with equivalent RoHS compliance status and identical electrical/mechanical interface specifications for 8 AWG crimp termination applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 64-W and SCS8-L are Active products with current manufacturing status and full RoHS compliance certification. Selection between these components should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format (Bulk for both components)
• Specific application environmental conditions
• Supplier preference and procurement agreements

The SCS8-L incorporates copper tubing construction as an alternative to the 64-W brazed seam design, with both approaches providing equivalent mechanical and electrical performance for 8 AWG crimp splice applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCS8-L replace the 64-W in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge (8 AWG), terminal type (Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings), number of wire entries (2), termination method (Crimp), and insulation specification (Non-Insulated). Both are Active products with current RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between brazed seam and copper tubing construction?

A: The 64-W uses brazed seam construction while the SCS8-L uses copper tubing construction. Both methods provide equivalent mechanical strength and electrical conductivity for 8 AWG crimp termination applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both the 64-W and SCS8-L are supplied in Bulk packaging format.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant (64-W: RoHS Compliant; SCS8-L: ROHS3 Compliant), classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) codes, and maintain Active product status.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these connectors?

A: Both the 64-W and SCS8-L are specified for 8 AWG wire only.
