3M 711/25 Wire Pin Terminal Connector 14 AWG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 711/25 is an insulated wire pin terminal connector designed for 14 AWG wire applications. This component features a crimp termination method and is constructed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation in blue color. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Equivalent substitutes must maintain compatibility with 14 AWG wire gauge specifications and crimp termination requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 711/25 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge compatibility: The substitute must accommodate 14 AWG wire or a range that includes 14 AWG
• Termination method: Crimp termination is required
• Insulation requirement: Insulated terminal construction
• Color specification: Blue insulation color
• Overall dimensions: Functional compatibility with existing connector interfaces

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 165046 meets these substitution criteria. This part supports 14-16 AWG wire gauge range, includes 14 AWG within its specification, and employs crimp termination with insulated construction. The blue color matches the original specification, and the part is classified as active product status with current availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 165046 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 3M 711/25. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The substitute part is classified as active product status with established supply chain availability, addressing the procurement constraints associated with the obsolete original part.

The 165046 accommodates the 14 AWG wire gauge requirement within its 14-16 AWG specification range and maintains crimp termination methodology. Insulation material differs between PVC and polyamide construction; both materials provide electrical insulation properties suitable for terminal connector applications. The overall length dimension increases from 0.670" to 0.799", which must be evaluated for mechanical fit within the target connector interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 165046 directly replace the 3M 711/25 in all applications?

A: The 165046 meets the core electrical and functional requirements for 14 AWG crimp termination. The increased overall length (0.799" versus 0.670") requires verification of mechanical clearance within the connector housing or interface. Insulation material composition differs (polyamide versus PVC), which may affect performance in specific environmental conditions.

Q: What wire gauge range does the substitute support?

A: The TE Connectivity 165046 supports 14-16 AWG wire gauge. The original 3M 711/25 specification is 14 AWG only. The substitute accommodates this requirement within its broader range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3M 711/25 is RoHS Compliant, and the TE Connectivity 165046 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material?

A: The original part uses Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) insulation, while the substitute uses Polyamide (PA) and Nylon. Both provide electrical insulation; material selection depends on application-specific environmental and thermal requirements.

Q: Is the substitute part currently available?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 165046 is classified as active product status with 7057 pieces in stock, providing established supply chain availability compared to the obsolete 3M 711/25.
