FV5.5-S4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FV5.5-S4 is an insulated ring terminal connector manufactured by JST Sales America Inc., designed for 10-12 AWG wire applications with an 8 stud circular configuration. This component is classified as an active product and is RoHS3 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.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FV5.5-S4 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Circular configuration required
• Stud/Tab Size: 8 stud specification
• Wire Gauge: 10-12 AWG range
• Termination: Crimp connection method
• Insulation: Insulated construction with vinyl material
• Mounting: Free hanging in-line orientation
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The substitute part 94753 (3M Highland™ series) meets all primary functional and mechanical criteria, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring ring terminal connectors with these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FV5.5-S4 and 94753 are active products with current RoHS compliance certifications. The FV5.5-S4 carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 94753 carries RoHS compliance. Both components satisfy the core functional requirements for 10-12 AWG insulated ring terminal connectors with 8 stud circular configuration and crimp termination.

Dimensional variations exist in width and length measurements between the two parts. These variations do not affect the core electrical function but may impact physical fit in space-constrained applications. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application geometry requirements and compliance certification alignment with end-use regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 94753 directly replace the FV5.5-S4 in all applications?

A: Both parts share identical terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, termination method, and insulation specifications. However, dimensional differences in width and length exist. Direct replacement is suitable for applications where these dimensional variations do not create physical interference or fit constraints.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are dimensional (width and length) and material specification details. The 94753 specifies copper ETP contact material with tin finish, while the FV5.5-S4 does not provide these specifications. Both maintain equivalent electrical performance for the 10-12 AWG wire gauge range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FV5.5-S4 is ROHS3 compliant, and the 94753 is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance.

Q: What wire gauge range do these terminals support?

A: Both the FV5.5-S4 and 94753 are rated for 10-12 AWG wire applications. This specification is identical across both parts.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging type (bulk versus other formats) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging is a logistics consideration and does not impact functional substitution.
