EV14-6RBK-Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EV14-6RBK-Q is a StrongHold™ Ring Terminal manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for circular 6 stud connections with 14-16 AWG wire gauge capacity. This insulated vinyl ring terminal features a crimp termination method and tin-plated copper contact material. The part is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EV14-6RBK-Q is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Circular
• Stud/Tab Size: 6 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Material: Vinyl
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Manufacturer Series: StrongHold™

The EV14-6RB-Q qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all mandatory parameters. Minor dimensional variations in width and length fall within acceptable tolerances for mechanical fit in standard applications, as do insulation diameter differences resulting from manufacturing process variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EV14-6RB-Q is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete EV14-6RBK-Q. Selection of the substitute part is justified on the following basis:

Product Status: The EV14-6RB-Q maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (2797 pcs), whereas the main part is classified as obsolete. This ensures long-term supply chain viability.

Compliance Certifications: The EV14-6RB-Q carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated industries.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification, including wire gauge capacity, stud size, termination method, and contact material properties.

Dimensional Tolerance: Minor dimensional variations (width reduction of 0.020", length increase of 0.060", insulation diameter increase of 0.005") are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect functional performance in standard mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EV14-6RB-Q be used as a direct replacement for EV14-6RBK-Q in all applications?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical functional parameters: 6 stud circular terminal, 14-16 AWG wire capacity, crimp termination, vinyl insulation, and tin-plated copper contacts. Dimensional variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard mounting configurations.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging of these two parts?

A: The EV14-6RBK-Q packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The EV14-6RB-Q is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.

Q: Does the EV14-6RB-Q meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The EV14-6RB-Q is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that could affect installation?

A: Minor dimensional differences exist: the substitute is 0.020" narrower and 0.060" longer overall, with a 0.005" larger insulation diameter. These variations remain within standard mechanical tolerances and do not affect performance in applications designed for 6 stud circular terminals with 14-16 AWG wire capacity.

Q: Why is the main part classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on production discontinuation. The EV14-6RB-Q represents the active equivalent in the StrongHold™ series and is the recommended replacement for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.
