MNG14-8RK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MNG14-8RK is a ring terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for circular stud applications with 14-16 AWG wire gauges. This insulated crimp terminal is part of the Scotchlok™ series and maintains active product status. Alternative components may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements where equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MNG14-8RK is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Must be Circular
• Stud/Tab Size: Must be 8 Stud
• Wire Gauge: Must accommodate 14-16 AWG
• Termination Method: Must be Crimp
• Insulation: Must be Insulated
• Contact Material: Must be Copper-based
• Contact Finish: Must be Tin
• Insulation Material: Must be Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance

The substitute part PNF14-8R-M meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MNG14-8RK and PNF14-8R-M maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance. The MNG14-8RK carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the PNF14-8R-M carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both components satisfy REACH Unaffected status and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Selection between these components should be based on availability, supply chain requirements, and application-specific constraints. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 14-16 AWG ring terminal connectors with #8 stud circular configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PNF14-8R-M replace MNG14-8RK in all applications?

A: Yes, provided the application requirements are limited to the specified parameters: 14-16 AWG wire gauge, #8 stud circular terminal, crimp termination, and insulated nylon construction. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for these critical parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are dimensional tolerances and manufacturer series designation. The MNG14-8RK has a thickness of 0.030" (0.76mm) and outer width of 0.330" (8.38mm), while the PNF14-8R-M has a thickness of 0.032" (0.81mm) and outer width of 0.310" (7.87mm). The PNF14-8R-M includes serrated termination as a feature. Both maintain functional equivalence for the specified wire gauge and stud size.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: MNG14-8RK has 973 pieces in stock, while PNF14-8R-M has 2480 pieces in stock. Packaging format compatibility should be confirmed with procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. The MNG14-8RK carries RoHS Compliant status, while the PNF14-8R-M carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.
