Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CSS35-14-C is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute maintain 4-14 AWG wire gauge specification, ensuring proper conductor accommodation and electrical performance.

Stud Size: The #1/4 stud connection is preserved in the substitute part, maintaining mechanical compatibility with existing mating hardware and assemblies.

Terminal Type and Function: The substitute part is classified as a lug-type grounding terminal, consistent with the rectangular lug terminal function of the main part.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory equivalence for procurement and deployment.

Manufacturer Consistency: Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp, maintaining supply chain consistency and design lineage.

The substitute part CXS70-14-C is an active production component from the Pan-Lug™ series, providing functional and mechanical equivalence to the obsolete CSS35-14-C.
