Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CTAPF6-12TP-C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Crimpband, Open Band construction
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Color: Gray
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

The substitute part CTAPF6-12-C meets all core functional and compliance requirements. The primary difference is the wire gauge specification: the substitute supports 6-10 AWG, which represents a subset of the original part's 6-12 AWG range. This substitution is valid for applications requiring wire gauges within the 6-10 AWG overlap range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CTAPF6-12-C is the designated substitute for the obsolete CTAPF6-12TP-C. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain identical terminal construction, termination methodology, insulation characteristics, and color specification. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant.

The CTAPF6-12-C carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications utilizing wire gauges within the 6-10 AWG range. Applications requiring wire gauges of 11-12 AWG must be evaluated against alternative solutions, as the substitute part does not support these larger gauges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CTAPF6-12-C replace CTAPF6-12TP-C in all applications?

A: The CTAPF6-12-C is a valid substitute for applications using wire gauges from 6-10 AWG. Applications requiring 11-12 AWG wire termination cannot use this substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?
