CB20221500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CB20221500 is a 15-circuit barrier block connector manufactured by Eaton Electronics Division, part of the Magnum® CB2000 series. This through-hole mounted terminal block features 0.375" (9.53mm) pitch spacing, 30A current rating, and 300V voltage rating with screw termination on the top and PC pin termination on the bottom.

The CB20221500 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability for production and repair applications, and support systems currently deployed with this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CB20221500 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The following parameters must match or be equivalent:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Terminal block type: Barrier Block
• Number of circuits: 15
• Pitch spacing: 0.375" (9.53mm)
• Voltage rating: 300V minimum
• Wire gauge acceptance: 12-22 AWG
• Top termination: Screws
• Bottom termination: PC Pin
• Barrier configuration: 3 Wall (Tri)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Current rating: Substitute may be lower than 30A if application requirements permit
• Operating temperature range: Substitute may have different upper limit
• RoHS compliance: Substitute may differ from original
• Product status: Active substitutes are preferred for obsolete parts

The substitute part 6PCV-15-006 meets all critical matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 6PCV-15-006 manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a direct substitute for the obsolete CB20221500. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Electrical Compatibility: The 6PCV-15-006 maintains identical voltage rating (300V), wire gauge acceptance (12-22 AWG), and circuit configuration (15 circuits at 0.375" pitch). The current rating of 25A is lower than the original 30A; applications operating at or below 25A will experience no functional impact.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors feature identical barrier block configuration (3 Wall Tri-barrier), screw top termination, PC pin bottom termination, and through-hole mounting. Physical footprint and PCB mounting pattern are identical.

Compliance Status: The 6PCV-15-006 is RoHS compliant and carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The original CB20221500 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete.

Certification: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and thermoplastic insulation material, preserving safety and environmental performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6PCV-15-006 be used as a direct replacement for CB20221500 in all applications?

A: The 6PCV-15-006 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the CB20221500 for applications requiring 25A or less. If the original design requires the full 30A current rating, the substitute must be evaluated against actual circuit current demands. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these two parts?

A: The CB20221500 is rated for 30A, while the 6PCV-15-006 is rated for 25A. This 5A difference reflects different design specifications between manufacturers. Applications operating below 25A will not be affected by this difference.

Q: Are the physical dimensions and PCB footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 0.375" (9.53mm) pitch spacing, 15 circuits in a single row, identical barrier block configuration, and through-hole mounting. PCB footprint and mounting hole patterns are identical.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: The 6PCV-15-006 is RoHS compliant while the CB20221500 is not. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS requirements, the 6PCV-15-006 is the appropriate choice. For legacy system repairs where RoHS compliance is not mandated, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility?

A: Both connectors accept 12-22 AWG wire gauge. Wire termination procedures and screw torque specifications should be verified in the respective manufacturer datasheets.

Q: Is the 6PCV-15-006 available in the same packaging as the CB20221500?

A: The CB20221500 was supplied in standard packaging (not specified in available data). The 6PCV-15-006 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on procurement requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute?

A: The CB20221500 operates from -40°C to 105°C. The 6PCV-15-006 operates to 105°C maximum. The substitute has a narrower lower temperature limit; applications requiring operation below -40°C must be evaluated separately.
