Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the A201411RC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Terminal block type: Barrier Block
• Number of circuits: 11
• Pitch: 0.375" (9.53mm)
• Number of rows: 1
• Voltage rating: 300V
• Wire gauge range: 12-22 AWG
• Top termination: Screws
• Bottom termination: Solder turret, insulated
• Barrier type: 2 Wall (Dual)
• Mounting type: Chassis, Panel
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part T38320-11-0 from Curtis Industries meets all mandatory matching parameters. This part maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the original A201411RC specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T38320-11-0 from Curtis Industries is a functional equivalent to the obsolete A201411RC. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including circuit count, pitch, voltage rating, wire gauge compatibility, and termination methods.

The T38320-11-0 offers the following advantages:

Product Status: The T38320-11-0 is currently active in production, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete A201411RC.

Regulatory Compliance: The T38320-11-0 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original A201411RC is RoHS non-compliant.

Current Rating Consideration: The A201411RC is rated for 30A maximum current, while the T38320-11-0 is rated for 20A maximum current. Applications requiring current levels between 20A and 30A must evaluate whether the lower rating of the substitute part is acceptable for the specific circuit design.

For applications operating at or below 20A, the T38320-11-0 provides direct substitution with improved compliance status and active product support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T38320-11-0 be used as a direct replacement for the A201411RC?

A: The T38320-11-0 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the A201411RC across all critical parameters including circuit count, pitch, voltage rating, wire gauge, and termination methods. However, the current rating differs: the A201411RC supports 30A while the T38320-11-0 supports 20A. Direct substitution is valid for applications operating at 20A or below.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating (30A vs. 20A), product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant), insulation material (thermoplastic vs. polypropylene), and terminal screw finish (zinc vs. nickel). All functional and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Is the T38320-11-0 suitable for high-current applications?

A: The T38320-11-0 is rated for a maximum of 20A. Applications requiring current levels above 20A should not use this substitute. The original A201411RC specification of 30A maximum current cannot be matched by this substitute part.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The A201411RC was supplied in standard packaging, while the T38320-11-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for the same mounting and installation methods.

Q: Are there any compliance advantages to using the T38320-11-0?

A: Yes. The T38320-11-0 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. The A201411RC is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the T38320-11-0 is the appropriate choice.
