HT-13-6 Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HT-13-6 is a non-insulated ring terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for 10-12 AWG wire gauges with a #6 stud circular configuration. This component is classified as an active product and is RoHS compliant. Ring terminal connectors of this specification are essential in electrical assemblies where reliable, crimped connections to circular studs are required. Substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HT-13-6 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type & Stud Configuration: Must be circular terminal with #6 stud size
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate 10-12 AWG wire
• Termination Method: Must be crimp-type termination
• Insulation Classification: Must be non-insulated
• Mounting Configuration: Must be free hanging (in-line) style
• Contact Finish: Must be nickel-plated for corrosion resistance
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status

The substitute part P10-6RHT6-L from Panduit Corp meets all these criteria, making it a valid equivalent for the HT-13-6 in applications requiring these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HT-13-6 and P10-6RHT6-L maintain active product status and full RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The P10-6RHT6-L carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing the most current RoHS standard iteration. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring non-insulated ring terminals with #6 stud configuration and 10-12 AWG wire compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, supply chain logistics, and any specific design preferences regarding contact material composition (steel versus copper base).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P10-6RHT6-L replace the HT-13-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, termination method, insulation classification, and mounting configuration. The nickel contact finish is consistent across both parts, ensuring equivalent electrical performance in crimp-type connections.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these parts?

A: The HT-13-6 uses a steel contact base with nickel finish, while the P10-6RHT6-L uses a copper contact base with nickel finish. Both configurations provide corrosion resistance through nickel plating and are suitable for standard electrical applications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that affect installation?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The HT-13-6 has an outer edge width of 0.380" (9.65mm) and overall length of 0.730" (18.54mm), while the P10-6RHT6-L measures 0.310" (7.87mm) width and 0.780" (19.81mm) length. Both maintain the same 0.040" (1.02mm) thickness. Verify dimensional compatibility with your specific stud and mounting requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The HT-13-6 is RoHS compliant, and the P10-6RHT6-L is ROHS3 compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes (8536.90.4000).

Q: What packaging is available for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 726 pieces for the HT-13-6 and 1,869 pieces for the P10-6RHT6-L.
