Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 94795 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Wire Gauge: 4 AWG
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Classification: Fully Insulated

The Molex 0191540048 meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical functional specifications for wire gauge, terminal configuration, and termination method. The substitute maintains full insulation and operates within the same moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring compatibility in equivalent electrical and mechanical applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0191540048 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 3M 94795. Selection of the Molex substitute is supported by:

• Identical wire gauge specification (4 AWG)
• Matching terminal configuration (butt splice, inline, individual openings)
• Equivalent termination method (crimp)
• Identical insulation classification (fully insulated)
• Active product status ensuring continued availability
• Enhanced RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. RoHS Compliant)
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity rating

The transition from the obsolete 3M component to the active Molex alternative presents no functional or compliance barriers for applications requiring 4 AWG butt splice termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0191540048 directly replace the 3M 94795 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical specifications for wire gauge (4 AWG), terminal type (butt splice, inline, individual openings), termination method (crimp), and insulation classification (fully insulated). No design or assembly modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: The 3M 94795 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The Molex 0191540048 is active and maintains current production and availability. For new designs or ongoing procurement, the Molex component is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 3M 94795 packaging specification is not provided. The Molex 0191540048 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific application and procurement process.

Q: Do both components meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 3M 94795 is RoHS Compliant. The Molex 0191540048 meets the enhanced ROHS3 standard. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these butt splice terminals?

A: Both the 3M 94795 and Molex 0191540048 are specified for 4 AWG wire termination only. Do not use these components for wire gauges outside this specification.
