FV2-4 Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FV2-4 is an insulated ring terminal connector manufactured by JST Sales America Inc., designed for 14-16 AWG wire gauges with an 8 stud circular configuration. This component is actively produced and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FV2-4 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Terminal Type: Circular configuration required
  • Stud/Tab Size: 8 stud specification
  • Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG compatibility
  • Termination: Crimp connection method
  • Insulation: Vinyl insulated construction
  • Mounting: Free hanging in-line orientation
  • Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The substitute part 94739 (3M Highland™ series) meets all primary electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Dimensional variations within manufacturing tolerances do not preclude functional equivalence in standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both FV2-4 and 94739 are active production components with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming suitability for standard industrial and commercial applications. The 94739 substitute provides equivalent functional performance for 14-16 AWG crimp ring terminal applications with 8 stud circular configuration. Dimensional tolerances between the two parts fall within acceptable ranges for standard mounting and connection scenarios. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, lead time, or procurement requirements without compromising electrical or mechanical performance in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 94739 directly replace FV2-4 in all applications? A: Yes, the 94739 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution in standard 14-16 AWG crimp ring terminal applications with 8 stud circular configuration.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for these parts? A: Wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud size (8), terminal type (circular), termination method (crimp), and insulation type (vinyl) must match. Both parts satisfy these requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between FV2-4 and 94739? A: Minor dimensional variations exist in thickness, width, and length. These differences remain within acceptable manufacturing tolerances and do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes, both FV2-4 and 94739 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings and active product status.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts? A: FV2-4 packaging is not specified in available data. 94739 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are contact material specifications critical for substitution? A: The 94739 specifies copper ETP with tin finish. The FV2-4 contact material and finish are not specified. For applications with specific contact material requirements, verify compatibility with your system design.
