Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EV10-6RBK-Q is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Wire gauge range: 10-12 AWG (identical)
• Contact material and finish: Copper with Tin plating (identical)
• Stud configuration: 6 Stud circular (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Terminal type: Circular (identical)
• Termination method: Crimp (identical)
• Insulation material: Vinyl (identical)
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line) (identical)
• Butted seam construction (identical)

The EV10-6RB-Q qualifies as a direct substitute based on these aligned parameters. Dimensional variations in thickness, width, length, and insulation diameter do not preclude substitution when the core electrical and mechanical specifications remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EV10-6RB-Q is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete EV10-6RBK-Q. Selection of the EV10-6RB-Q is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The EV10-6RB-Q maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the EV10-6RBK-Q is Obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The EV10-6RB-Q is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two parts, including wire gauge, stud configuration, contact material and finish, insulation type, and termination method.

Inventory Availability: The EV10-6RB-Q is available in higher inventory quantities (1306 Pcs) compared to the main part, supporting procurement reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EV10-6RB-Q directly replace the EV10-6RBK-Q in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 10-12 AWG wire gauge, 6 stud circular configuration, crimp termination, copper tin-plated contacts, and vinyl insulation. The parts are functionally equivalent for circuit applications.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The EV10-6RB-Q has slightly larger outer dimensions: Width is 0.310" (7.87mm) versus 0.280" (7.11mm), and Length is 1.050" (26.67mm) versus 0.890" (22.61mm). Insulation diameter is 0.230" (5.84mm) versus 0.240" (6.10mm). These dimensional variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard 6 stud applications.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The EV10-6RBK-Q is supplied in standard packaging, while the EV10-6RB-Q is supplied in Bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume manufacturing and assembly operations.

Q: Why is the EV10-6RBK-Q classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The EV10-6RB-Q represents the current active equivalent within the StrongHold™ series.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The EV10-6RB-Q is explicitly ROHS3 Compliant, while the EV10-6RBK-Q does not specify RoHS status. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The EV10-6RB-Q is REACH Unaffected.

Q: Can I use the EV10-6RB-Q in new designs?

A: Yes. The EV10-6RB-Q is the recommended part for new designs requiring a 6 stud circular ring terminal for 10-12 AWG wire with crimp termination and vinyl insulation.
