Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete EV14-8RBK-L is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the StrongHold™ series. The substitute part EV14-8RB-L maintains compatibility through the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both parts accommodate 14-16 AWG wire
• Stud Configuration: Identical 8 stud circular terminal design
• Contact Specifications: Matching copper with tin finish
• Insulation Material: Both utilize vinyl insulation
• Termination Method: Crimp termination in both parts
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line mounting preserved
• Series Continuity: Both belong to the StrongHold™ product line
• Regulatory Compliance: Identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications

The EV14-8RB-L represents the active production equivalent, with packaging available in bulk format and current RoHS3 compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EV14-8RB-L is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete EV14-8RBK-L. Selection of the substitute part is based on:

Product Status: The EV14-8RB-L maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete EV14-8RBK-L.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Dimensional and Electrical Specifications: All critical parameters—wire gauge, stud size, contact material and finish, insulation type, and termination method—are identical between the main part and substitute, ensuring direct functional compatibility in existing applications.

Packaging Availability: The EV14-8RB-L is available in bulk packaging format, supporting both prototype and production-volume procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EV14-8RB-L directly replace the EV14-8RBK-L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud configuration (8 stud circular), contact specifications (copper with tin finish), insulation material (vinyl), and termination method (crimp). The parts are functionally equivalent for all applications requiring these specifications.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist: the EV14-8RB-L has a width of 0.310" (7.87mm) compared to 0.330" (8.38mm) for the EV14-8RBK-L, and an overall length of 0.920" (23.37mm) versus 0.860" (21.84mm). The insulation diameter is 0.170" (4.32mm) versus 0.165" (4.19mm). These variations remain within the functional tolerance for 8 stud circular ring terminal applications.

Q: Why is the EV14-8RBK-L classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation. The EV14-8RB-L represents the current active production equivalent within the StrongHold™ series.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The EV14-8RB-L carries RoHS3 compliance certification. Both parts maintain identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The substitute part meets current environmental compliance standards.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The EV14-8RB-L is supplied in bulk packaging format, suitable for both small-quantity and production-volume applications.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the EV14-8RBK-L and EV14-8RB-L are manufactured by Panduit Corp and belong to the StrongHold™ series.
