KPT08F14-5P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KPT08F14-5P is a 5-position circular connector plug manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, featuring male pins with solder cup termination and bayonet lock fastening. This connector is designed for applications requiring robust circular connector solutions with environmental resistance and high voltage/current ratings. The part maintains Active product status with 721 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the KPT08F14-5P are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Plug configuration with 5 positions
• Shell Size - Insert: 14-5 specification for mechanical compatibility
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle orientation
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock mechanism
• Electrical Ratings: Current capacity of 13A and voltage ratings supporting the application requirements
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C operational envelope
• Ingress Protection: Environment Resistant classification
• Termination Method: Solder-based connection technology

The MSW08E14-5P-SR qualifies as a substitute based on matching these core parameters. Variations in shell finish material (Cadmium vs. Olive Drab Cadmium) and contact finish (Cadmium vs. Gold) represent acceptable substitution tolerances within the circular connector category, provided the application does not mandate specific corrosion resistance or contact performance characteristics tied to these finishes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the KPT08F14-5P and MSW08E14-5P-SR maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant designation, indicating compatibility with legacy and military-grade applications where cadmium-based finishes and non-RoHS materials are acceptable or required.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in voltage rating specification. The KPT08F14-5P supports 1000VAC and 1400VDC, while the MSW08E14-5P-SR is rated for 800V. Selection between these parts must be determined by the application's voltage requirements. If the application operates at or below 800V, both parts are electrically equivalent. If the application requires voltage ratings exceeding 800V, the KPT08F14-5P is the appropriate selection.

Contact finish differences (Gold vs. Cadmium) may influence connector performance in specific environmental or signal integrity contexts. Gold plating on the KPT08F14-5P provides enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance compared to cadmium finish on the MSW08E14-5P-SR. Applications with stringent contact reliability requirements should prioritize the gold-plated option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if MSW08E14-5P-SR can replace KPT08F14-5P?

A: Substitution is valid when the application voltage requirement does not exceed 800V, the connector position count (5), shell size (14-5), mounting configuration (Free Hanging, Right Angle), and fastening type (Bayonet Lock) match the original specification. Both parts support 13A current and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature.

Q: Does the difference in shell finish affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. Both Olive Drab Cadmium and Cadmium finishes are applied to aluminum alloy shells and do not affect mechanical fit or bayonet lock engagement. Finish differences are corrosion resistance and aesthetic considerations only.

Q: Why is the contact finish (Gold vs. Cadmium) significant?

A: Contact finish affects electrical performance characteristics including contact resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability in corrosive environments. Gold-plated contacts (KPT08F14-5P) provide superior performance in high-reliability applications. Cadmium-plated contacts (MSW08E14-5P-SR) are suitable for standard industrial and military applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in solder cup vs. solder termination applications?

A: Both parts utilize solder-based termination technology. The KPT08F14-5P specifies "Solder Cup" while MSW08E14-5P-SR specifies "Solder." Both termination methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly and wire attachment processes.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: KPT08F14-5P has 721 units in stock. MSW08E14-5P-SR has 694 units in stock. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.
