HT-13-10 Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HT-13-10 is a ring terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for 10-12 AWG wire applications with a #10 stud circular configuration. This non-insulated crimp terminal features a butted seam construction and high-temperature capability, making it suitable for general-purpose electrical connections requiring reliable ring terminal termination. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, ensuring functional interchangeability in target applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT-13-10 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Circular configuration required
• Stud/Tab Size: #10 stud specification
• Wire Gauge: 10-12 AWG compatibility
• Termination Method: Crimp-type connection
• Insulation: Non-insulated construction
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) orientation
• Thickness: 0.040" (1.02mm)
• Width - Outer Edges: 0.380" (9.65mm)
• Contact Finish: Nickel plating

The identified substitute part P10-10RHT6-L from Panduit Corp satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in seam construction (butted versus brazed) and termination features (standard versus serrated) do not affect functional interchangeability when all primary specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HT-13-10 and P10-10RHT6-L maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, confirming regulatory equivalence for current applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Application-specific tolerance requirements for overall length (0.730" versus 0.810")
• Contact material preference (steel versus copper base with nickel finish)
• Seam construction performance in target application environment

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 10-12 AWG ring terminal connections with #10 stud configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P10-10RHT6-L replace HT-13-10 in all applications?

A: P10-10RHT6-L matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, crimp termination, and nickel contact finish. The 0.080" difference in overall length and variation in base contact material (copper versus steel) must be evaluated against specific application constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the seam construction difference?

A: HT-13-10 features butted seam construction while P10-10RHT6-L uses brazed seam construction. Both are acceptable for non-insulated ring terminal applications; selection depends on application-specific mechanical strength and environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: HT-13-10 is specified with high-temperature capability. P10-10RHT6-L specifications provided do not explicitly state temperature rating; application requirements should be confirmed against detailed datasheets.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. HT-13-10 has 1353 pcs in stock; P10-10RHT6-L has 1959 pcs in stock.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both HT-13-10 and P10-10RHT6-L are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electrical component applications.
