JMN2-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The JMN2-C is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 14-20 AWG wire gauges. This component is classified as a closed-end, single-opening splice terminal with full insulation and is currently listed as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identification of functionally equivalent substitute components is necessary to maintain continuity in applications requiring butt splice termination across the specified wire gauge range.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the JMN2-C is based on functional equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Terminal Configuration: Both the main part and substitute maintain identical terminal type classification as butt splice, closed-end, single-opening connectors.

Termination Method: Both components utilize crimp termination, ensuring compatibility with existing assembly processes and tooling.

Insulation Classification: Both parts feature full insulation, maintaining electrical safety and environmental protection standards.

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part (0191600009) accommodates a wire gauge range of 12-22 AWG, which encompasses and extends the 14-20 AWG range of the JMN2-C. This broader range ensures the substitute can address the original application requirements.

Number of Wire Entries: Both components feature variable wire entry configurations based on wire size, maintaining functional parity.

The Molex 0191600009 (19160 series) qualifies as a direct functional substitute based on these aligned parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0191600009 terminal is the identified substitute for the obsolete JMN2-C. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute component maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Certifications: The 0191600009 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Wire Gauge Coverage: The 12-22 AWG range of the substitute encompasses the original 14-20 AWG specification, providing full functional coverage for existing applications.

Functional Equivalence: Identical terminal configuration, termination method, and insulation classification ensure direct functional replacement without modification to assembly processes or electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0191600009 directly replace the Panduit JMN2-C in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical terminal type, termination method, and insulation classification. The substitute's 12-22 AWG range encompasses the original 14-20 AWG specification, providing full functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the extended wire gauge range (12-22 AWG) in the substitute part?

A: The extended range indicates the substitute can accommodate wire sizes beyond the original specification. For applications using 14-20 AWG wire, the substitute performs identically to the original part. The additional 12-14 AWG and 20-22 AWG capability provides flexibility for future applications without requiring alternative components.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the JMN2-C and 0191600009?

A: The JMN2-C packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 0191600009 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be verified against specific procurement requirements.

Q: Does the color difference (Clear vs. Natural) affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: Color designation reflects insulation material appearance and does not affect electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, or functional performance of the crimp connection.

Q: What compliance standards apply to the substitute component?

A: The Molex 0191600009 is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component distribution and use.
