CDS70-14-Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CDS70-14-Q is a copper mechanical lug terminal manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for grounding applications with 2-8 AWG wire gauge capacity and a 1/4" stud connection. This non-insulated rectangular lug features two stud holes for secure mounting in free-hanging, in-line configurations. The part is currently active in production with 741 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained, ensuring functional compatibility in grounding and terminal connection applications where the CDS70-14-Q is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CDS70-14-Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 2-8 AWG
• Stud/tab size: 1/4"
• Terminal style: Two stud holes
• Contact material: Copper
• Insulation type: Non-insulated
• Termination method: Screw
• Tab thickness: 0.080" (2.03mm)
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging, in-line

The substitute part CD70-14SL-QY maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence in grounding terminal applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CDS70-14-Q and CD70-14SL-QY are active production parts from Panduit Corp with identical electrical and mechanical specifications for grounding terminal applications. The CD70-14SL-QY carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status, providing additional regulatory documentation for applications requiring environmental compliance certification. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and inventory availability. The CD70-14SL-QY offers 1051 units in stock compared to 741 units for the CDS70-14-Q.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes CD70-14SL-QY a valid substitute for CDS70-14-Q?

A: Both parts maintain identical wire gauge (2-8 AWG), stud size (1/4"), terminal style (two stud holes), contact material (copper), insulation type (non-insulated), and termination method (screw). Overall length differs by 0.030" (0.77mm), which does not affect functional compatibility in standard grounding applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The CD70-14SL-QY includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status documentation. Both parts share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application does not impose specific length constraints. The 0.030" length difference between CDS70-14-Q (2.290") and CD70-14SL-QY (2.260") is negligible for most grounding terminal installations.

Q: What is the wire gauge capacity for both parts?

A: Both the CDS70-14-Q and CD70-14SL-QY accommodate 2-8 AWG wire gauges with screw termination and 1/4" stud connection.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, both parts are supplied in bulk packaging by Panduit Corp.
