Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MN24BCK-A is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 24-26 AWG (substitute must accommodate this range)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation Type: Fully Insulated
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Color: Yellow

The substitute part BSN22-M meets these criteria with the following consideration: while the BSN22-M supports a wire gauge range of 22-26 AWG, it encompasses the required 24-26 AWG specification of the original part. All other functional and mechanical parameters align with the MN24BCK-A requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BSN22-M from Panduit Corp is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete MN24BCK-A. The substitute maintains identical terminal type, termination method, insulation classification, wire entry configuration, and color specification. The BSN22-M is currently in active production status with 6239 units available in inventory, ensuring supply chain continuity.

The BSN22-M carries RoHS3 compliance certification, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment compared to the original part. Both components share identical REACH status, ECCN classification, and HTSUS coding, confirming regulatory equivalence for import and export purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BSN22-M replace MN24BCK-A in all applications?

A: Yes. The BSN22-M meets all functional and mechanical requirements of the MN24BCK-A. The wire gauge range of 22-26 AWG on the BSN22-M fully encompasses the 24-26 AWG specification of the original part, ensuring compatibility in all applications designed for the MN24BCK-A.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The BSN22-M supports 22-26 AWG, while the MN24BCK-A supports 24-26 AWG. This means the BSN22-M can accommodate a broader range of wire gauges. For applications using 24-26 AWG wire, the BSN22-M performs identically to the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MN24BCK-A packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The BSN22-M is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your specific application before procurement.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute?

A: The BSN22-M is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both the original and substitute parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The MN24BCK-A is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The BSN22-M from Panduit Corp is an active product with current production and inventory availability, making it the recommended solution for new designs and replacement applications.
