MV14-6FLX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MV14-6FLX is a blue insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by 3M, designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire to a 6 stud configuration. This component is part of the Scotchlok™ series and maintains Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or application-specific needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MV14-6FLX is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (14-16 AWG), stud size (6 stud), terminal type (spring/snap configuration), crimp termination method, vinyl insulation material, insulation diameter (0.170"), outer edge width (0.250"), blue color designation, copper contact material with tin finish, and insulated construction. All substitute parts must maintain these specifications to ensure mechanical fit, electrical performance, and functional interchangeability within the intended application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MV14-6FLX and PV14-6LF-C maintain Active product status and satisfy RoHS and REACH compliance requirements. The PV14-6LF-C carries ROHS3 certification, representing the most current RoHS directive compliance level. Both components are classified under identical HTSUS and ECCN codes, confirming regulatory equivalence. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and existing inventory management protocols within your organization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV14-6LF-C replace MV14-6FLX in existing applications? A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud size (6), terminal type (spring/snap), termination method (crimp), insulation material (vinyl), insulation diameter (0.170"), outer edge width (0.250"), color (blue), contact material (copper), and contact finish (tin). The 0.020" difference in overall length (0.900" vs 0.880") does not affect functional interchangeability in free-hanging in-line mounting configurations.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts? A: Both parts are RoHS and REACH compliant. The PV14-6LF-C carries ROHS3 certification, which represents compliance with the most recent RoHS directive iteration. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What packaging is available for these parts? A: Both MV14-6FLX and PV14-6LF-C are supplied in bulk packaging format.

Q: Are there feature differences between the substitute parts? A: The MV14-6FLX includes a brazed seam feature. The PV14-6LF-C includes both brazed seam and serrated termination features. These features do not affect substitution eligibility for standard crimp termination applications.
