Equivalent & Substitute Parts for P10-8F-L

Part Overview

The P10-8F-L is an 8 stud spade terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 10-12 AWG wire. This non-insulated copper terminal features a brazed seam and serrated termination, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The P10-8F-L is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure component availability for new designs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P10-8F-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge range (10-12 AWG), stud size (8 stud), contact material (copper), and contact finish (tin) must remain identical to ensure proper electrical conductivity and connection integrity.

Mechanical Parameters: Outer edge width (0.370"), overall length (0.780"), and tongue inside opening (0.170") must match exactly to ensure physical compatibility with mating connectors and mounting hardware.

Functional Parameters: Terminal type (standard), termination method (crimp), insulation type (non-insulated), and features (brazed seam, serrated termination) must be preserved.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The P10-8F-D is identified as the active equivalent substitute, sharing all critical electrical, mechanical, and functional parameters with the obsolete P10-8F-L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P10-8F-D is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete P10-8F-L. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Term® series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and functional specifications. The P10-8F-D is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1883 pcs vs. 1079 pcs), ensuring reliable supply for ongoing applications.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and field replacements. The transition from P10-8F-L to P10-8F-D requires no design modifications, as all critical parameters remain unchanged. The P10-8F-D is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging configuration but does not affect functional or electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P10-8F-D be used as a direct replacement for the P10-8F-L?

A: Yes. The P10-8F-D is electrically and mechanically identical to the P10-8F-L across all critical parameters, including wire gauge, stud size, dimensions, and contact specifications. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The P10-8F-L is obsolete, while the P10-8F-D is an active product. The P10-8F-D is supplied in bulk packaging. All functional and electrical characteristics are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the P10-8F-L and P10-8F-D?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are unaffected by REACH regulations. Compliance status is identical.

Q: Will the P10-8F-D work with existing mating connectors designed for the P10-8F-L?

A: Yes. The P10-8F-D maintains identical outer edge width (0.370"), overall length (0.780"), and tongue inside opening (0.170"), ensuring full compatibility with existing mating hardware and connectors.

Q: What wire gauge range does the P10-8F-D support?

A: The P10-8F-D is rated for 10-12 AWG wire, identical to the P10-8F-L.

Q: Is the P10-8F-D suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The P10-8F-D is an active product with full availability and is appropriate for both new designs and field replacements of the obsolete P10-8F-L.
