Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the D18-250MB-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), wire gauge range (18-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), gender (male), contact material (brass), contact finish (nickel), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). The substitute part D18-250MB-M maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The D18-250MB-M is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete D18-250MB-C. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Term® series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The D18-250MB-M carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The substitute is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1473 pcs vs. 732 pcs), supporting consistent supply chain management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D18-250MB-M directly replace D18-250MB-C in existing applications? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching tab dimensions (0.250" × 0.032"), wire gauge compatibility (18-22 AWG), and contact specifications (brass with nickel finish).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers? A: The primary differences are product status (D18-250MB-C is obsolete; D18-250MB-M is active) and packaging (D18-250MB-M is supplied in bulk). All functional and electrical parameters are equivalent.
