BS-22-10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BS-22-10 is a 10 stud spade terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire. This flanged, non-insulated terminal is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent parts are identified when electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this terminal category, ensuring functional interchangeability in applications requiring 10 stud spade connections with identical wire gauge and termination method.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BS-22-10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: 10 Stud (mechanical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG (electrical and crimp die specification)
• Termination: Crimp (assembly method compatibility)
• Terminal Type: Flanged (form factor and mounting)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (electrical isolation requirement)
• Overall Dimensions: 0.650" length and 0.300" width (physical fit in assemblies)
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper, ETP with Tin finish (electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents. The Keystone Electronics 8241 satisfies all specified criteria and is therefore a valid substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BS-22-10 and Keystone Electronics 8241 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, lead time, or procurement requirements, as both meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 8241 carries additional REACH Unaffected certification. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 10 stud spade terminal connectors with 14-16 AWG crimp termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone Electronics 8241 be used as a direct replacement for the BS-22-10?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical stud size (10), wire gauge (14-16 AWG), termination method (crimp), terminal type (flanged), and overall dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What determines if a spade terminal is a valid substitute?

A: Valid substitutes must match the stud/tab size, wire gauge range, termination type, terminal type, insulation specification, and overall physical dimensions. Contact material and finish must also be equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify quantity requirements and lead times with your supplier.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the BS-22-10 and 8241 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and carry EAR99 ECCN classification.
