3M 94807 Quick Connect Crimp Terminal - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 94807 is a 0.187" (4.75mm) Quick Connect Male crimp connector terminal designed for 18-22 AWG wire applications. This fully insulated terminal features a tin-plated copper contact with butted seam construction and is classified as Active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component substitution within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3M 94807 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.187" (4.75mm)
• Tab Thickness: 0.020" (0.51mm)
• Wire Gauge Range: 18-22 AWG
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Classification: Fully Insulated
• Gender: Male
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation Diameter: 0.145" (3.68mm)
• Overall Length: 0.870" (22.10mm)

The Keystone Electronics 8296 meets all specified parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and material specifications required for interchangeable application in Quick Connect terminal circuits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3M 94807 and Keystone Electronics 8296 are Active status products with full regulatory compliance. The 3M 94807 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Keystone Electronics 8296 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, lead time, or established supplier relationships, as all specified electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone Electronics 8296 be used as a direct replacement for the 3M 94807?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical tab width (0.187"), tab thickness (0.020"), wire gauge range (18-22 AWG), insulation diameter (0.145"), and overall length (0.870"). All critical mechanical and electrical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance certifications between these parts?

A: The 3M 94807 is RoHS Compliant, while the Keystone Electronics 8296 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status. Both carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings. Compliance differences do not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: What determines whether a terminal can substitute for the 3M 94807?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence in tab width, tab thickness, wire gauge range, termination method (crimp), insulation type (fully insulated), gender (male), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), insulation diameter, and overall length. Deviations in any of these parameters disqualify a part from substitution.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Both the 3M 94807 and Keystone Electronics 8296 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Inventory availability may vary by supplier and time of order.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.187" tab width specification?

A: The 0.187" (4.75mm) tab width is the Quick Connect receptacle slot dimension. This measurement is critical for mechanical fit and electrical contact. Only terminals with this exact tab width will mate properly with corresponding Quick Connect receptacles.
