3M 94876 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 3M 94876 is an insulated spade terminal connector designed for crimp termination of 10-12 AWG wire. This yellow terminal features a #10 stud connection point and is part of the Highland™ series. The product is currently active and RoHS compliant. Equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, regional sourcing preferences, or specific application requirements where substitute terminals meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3M 94876 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge compatibility (10-12 AWG)
• Stud size (#10)
• Terminal type (Spring, Snap)
• Crimp termination capability
• Insulation type and color (Yellow, Insulated)
• Contact material and finish (Copper, Tin)
• RoHS compliance status

The Panduit Corp PN10-10LF-L meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements, making it a valid equivalent for applications requiring a #10 stud yellow spade terminal for 10-12 AWG wire.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3M 94876 and Panduit PN10-10LF-L are active products with current regulatory compliance. The 3M 94876 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the Panduit PN10-10LF-L carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both products maintain REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these terminals should be based on availability, packaging requirements (3M supplied in standard packaging; Panduit supplied in bulk), and established supplier relationships. Both terminals satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for #10 stud yellow spade terminal applications in 10-12 AWG wire circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panduit PN10-10LF-L replace the 3M 94876 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both terminals share identical wire gauge (10-12 AWG), stud size (#10), terminal type (Spring, Snap), termination method (Crimp), insulation type, color, and contact specifications. They are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these terminals?

A: The 3M 94876 has an outer width of 0.320" (8.13mm) and overall length of 1.030" (26.16mm). The Panduit PN10-10LF-L has an outer width of 0.340" (8.64mm) and overall length of 1.050" (26.67mm). These minor dimensional variations do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The 3M 94876 is supplied in standard packaging, while the Panduit PN10-10LF-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both terminals meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both terminals are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The Panduit part carries ROHS3 certification, representing the latest RoHS directive compliance level.

Q: What is the insulation diameter specification for each terminal?

A: The 3M 94876 has an insulation diameter of 0.250" (6.35mm). The Panduit PN10-10LF-L has an insulation diameter of 0.225" (5.72mm). Both accommodate 10-12 AWG wire insulation within their respective specifications.
