Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 32-6-W is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility:

• Stud/Tab Size: Both parts feature a 6 stud configuration
• Wire Gauge: Both accommodate 14-16 AWG wire
• Width - Outer Edges: Identical at 0.340" (8.64mm)
• Length - Overall: Identical at 0.700" (17.78mm)
• Termination Method: Both use crimp termination
• Insulation Type: Both are non-insulated
• Features: Both incorporate brazed seam construction
• Length - Ring Center to Termination: Identical at 0.290" (7.37mm)
• Mounting Type: Both are free hanging in-line
• RoHS Status: Both are RoHS compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated at MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The 32-6-W represents an active product status alternative, whereas the M14-6FX-BOTTLE is obsolete. The substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct replacement in applications requiring 6 stud spade terminals for 14-16 AWG wire.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 32-6-W is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete M14-6FX-BOTTLE. Both parts are manufactured by 3M and maintain identical critical dimensions and electrical specifications. The 32-6-W carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The transition from M14-6FX-BOTTLE to 32-6-W requires no design modifications, as all mechanical and electrical parameters remain consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 32-6-W directly replace M14-6FX-BOTTLE in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical stud size (6), wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), overall dimensions (0.700" length, 0.340" width), and termination method (crimp). No circuit or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The M14-6FX-BOTTLE is classified as obsolete. The 32-6-W is an active product from the same manufacturer with identical specifications, ensuring continued component availability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry identical MSL 1 ratings. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are maintained with the substitute.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The M14-6FX-BOTTLE is supplied in a 100-piece bottle package, while the 32-6-W is supplied in bulk packaging. The component specifications remain unchanged regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: The M14-6FX-BOTTLE specifies tin contact finish with copper ETP contact material. The 32-6-W does not specify these parameters in the provided data. However, both parts maintain the same stud size, wire gauge, and brazed seam construction, which are the critical parameters for substitution compatibility.
