Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CTAPR500-500-6 are determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Crimpband, Open Band configuration
• Wire Gauge Range: 300-500 MCM (kcmil) capacity
• Termination Method: Crimp connection technology
• Insulation Classification: Non-insulated construction
• Manufacturer Series: CTAPR family designation
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating

The CTAPR500-500-X variant maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing in product status and packaging configuration. This substitution is valid for applications requiring the same terminal performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CTAPR500-500-X is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued CTAPR500-500-6. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for crimpband open band termination in the 300-500 MCM wire gauge range.

The CTAPR500-500-X is currently active in the product line, ensuring availability for procurement. The packaging difference (bulk configuration for the substitute) does not affect terminal performance or compatibility with standard crimp installation procedures.

Selection of the CTAPR500-500-X is appropriate for direct replacement applications where the CTAPR500-500-6 was previously specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTAPR500-500-X directly replace the CTAPR500-500-6?

A: Yes. Both components share identical terminal type, wire gauge capacity, termination method, insulation classification, and compliance ratings. The CTAPR500-500-X is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the CTAPR500-500-6 and CTAPR500-500-X?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The CTAPR500-500-6 is discontinued, while the CTAPR500-500-X is active. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both components are designed for the same wire gauge range (300-500 MCM), use identical crimp termination technology, and maintain the same non-insulated construction. Installation procedures and performance specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Does packaging affect the terminal's performance?

A: Packaging configuration does not affect terminal electrical or mechanical performance. The bulk packaging of the CTAPR500-500-X provides the same component quality and functionality as the original part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the CTAPR500-500-6 and CTAPR500-500-X are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).
