MH14BCK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MH14BCK is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by 3M under the Scotchlok™ series. This component is designed for inline, individual opening crimp connections in the 14-16 AWG wire gauge range with fully insulated heat shrink construction. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Equivalent parts are identified when applications require alternative sourcing due to supply constraints, procurement preferences, or regional availability considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MH14BCK is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Type: Fully Insulated Heat Shrink
• Color: Blue

The substitute part BSH14-Q meets all these criteria, making it functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 14-16 AWG butt splice terminal with crimp termination and heat shrink insulation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MH14BCK and BSH14-Q are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Procurement availability and lead times from respective manufacturers
• Inventory status at your supplier (MH14BCK: 1152 pcs; BSH14-Q: 1178 pcs)
• Compliance requirements: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards
• Export control classification: Both parts carry EAR99 designation
• Tariff classification: Both parts share identical HTSUS code 8536.90.4000

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BSH14-Q be used as a direct replacement for MH14BCK?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical terminal type, wire gauge, wire entry configuration, termination method, insulation type, and color. They are functionally equivalent for 14-16 AWG butt splice applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. MH14BCK carries RoHS Compliant status while BSH14-Q carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet current regulatory requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level differs: MH14BCK is MSL 1 (Unlimited), while BSH14-Q is Not Applicable.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this terminal type?

A: Substitution is based on matching terminal type, wire gauge range, number of wire entries, crimp termination method, heat shrink insulation, and color. Deviations in any of these parameters indicate a different product category.

Q: Are packaging quantities the same?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify specific quantity requirements with your supplier, as bulk packaging may vary by distributor.

Q: What is the difference between the Scotchlok™ and Pan-Term® series?

A: These are manufacturer-specific product series designations. Both series produce functionally equivalent butt splice terminals meeting the specified parameters.
