BS-33-6-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The BS-33-6-P is a yellow insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for crimp termination of 10-12 AWG wire onto a 6 stud. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when applications require alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific mechanical and electrical parameter requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BS-33-6-P are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Wire gauge (10-12 AWG), stud size (6 stud), termination method (crimp), insulation material (vinyl), color (yellow), contact material (copper-based), contact finish (tin), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line) must remain consistent across all substitutes. All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

• 8233 (Keystone Electronics)
• PV10-6F-L (Panduit Corp)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—BS-33-6-P, 8233, and PV10-6F-L—maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected designation. Selection among these equivalents should be based on dimensional fit within the specific application assembly, particularly regarding overall length and insulation diameter, as these parameters vary within the group. The BS-33-6-P and PV10-6F-L share similar overall lengths (1.030" and 1.010" respectively), while the 8233 is shorter at 0.840". Insulation diameter differences (0.250", 0.255", and 0.225") may affect fit in confined spaces or connector housings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 8233 be used as a direct replacement for BS-33-6-P?

A: The 8233 shares all critical electrical and functional parameters with BS-33-6-P, including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and material specifications. However, the 8233 has a shorter overall length (0.840" versus 1.030"), which may affect fit in applications with specific spatial constraints.

Q: What are the key differences between PV10-6F-L and BS-33-6-P?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent for 10-12 AWG crimp termination on 6 studs. The PV10-6F-L has a slightly narrower outer edge width (0.310" versus 0.320") and a smaller insulation diameter (0.225" versus 0.250"). Overall length is comparable (1.010" versus 1.030").

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BS-33-6-P, 8233, and PV10-6F-L are all RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Which substitute should I select if space is limited?

A: The 8233 offers the shortest overall length at 0.840", making it suitable for space-constrained applications. However, verify that the reduced length does not compromise the functional requirements of your assembly.

Q: Do these parts require different crimping tools?

A: All three parts are designed for standard crimp termination on 10-12 AWG wire to 6 studs. Crimping tool compatibility depends on the specific tool specifications rather than the terminal design itself.
