BS-22-8-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BS-22-8-P is an insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire onto an 8 stud. This flanged terminal features a blue vinyl insulation with tin-plated copper contact material and is configured for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed tolerances for this terminal category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BS-22-8-P is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: 8 Stud (mechanical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG (electrical and crimp specification)
• Terminal Type: Flanged (form factor)
• Termination Method: Crimp (assembly process compatibility)
• Insulation: Insulated vinyl construction (electrical safety and environmental protection)
• Color: Blue (industry standard identification)
• Contact Material: Copper, ETP with tin finish (electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (circuit board or harness integration)
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH requirements (regulatory alignment)

The Keystone Electronics 8249 meets all critical substitution criteria within the allowed parameter set for this terminal category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the BS-22-8-P and 8249 maintain Active product status with identical RoHS3 and REACH compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and inventory requirements. The BS-22-8-P (3M) currently maintains 1220 pieces in stock, while the 8249 (Keystone Electronics) maintains 830 pieces. Both parts satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements for 14-16 AWG crimp termination onto an 8 stud with identical contact material specifications and dimensional alignment at critical interface points.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone Electronics 8249 be used as a direct replacement for the BS-22-8-P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical stud size (8), wire gauge (14-16 AWG), termination method (crimp), insulation type (vinyl), color (blue), contact material (copper, ETP), and contact finish (tin). Critical dimensional parameters including width, ring center to termination length, and termination length are identical. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The overall length differs: BS-22-8-P measures 0.850" (21.59mm) while the 8249 measures 0.700" (17.78mm). The insulation diameter also differs slightly: BS-22-8-P at 0.170" (4.32mm) versus 8249 at 0.175" (4.45mm). These variations fall within acceptable tolerances for the terminal category and do not affect stud interface or crimp termination compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the BS-22-8-P and 8249 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging format.
