Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P18-10RHT6-C is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute part P18-10RHT6-M maintains identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Terminal type classification (circular), stud size (#10), wire gauge range (18-22 AWG), crimp termination method, non-insulated construction, copper contact material with nickel finish, and all dimensional specifications including thickness (0.030"), width (0.310"), and overall length (0.710"). Both parts share identical mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), feature set (brazed seam with serrated termination), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected).

The distinction between these parts lies in product status and packaging configuration. The P18-10RHT6-M is classified as active with bulk packaging availability, whereas the P18-10RHT6-C is obsolete. This substitution relationship is based on complete electrical and mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P18-10RHT6-M serves as the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete P18-10RHT6-C. Selection of the P18-10RHT6-M is supported by complete parameter equivalence across all electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in existing designs and applications.

The P18-10RHT6-M maintains active product status with established supply chain availability, providing continuity for new production and replacement applications. Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements, including ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, eliminating compliance-related substitution barriers.

The transition from P18-10RHT6-C to P18-10RHT6-M does not require design modification, circuit redesign, or application re-qualification, as all performance-determining parameters remain constant. Packaging configuration differences (bulk versus original packaging) do not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P18-10RHT6-M be used as a direct replacement for P18-10RHT6-C in existing applications?

A: Yes. The P18-10RHT6-M is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the P18-10RHT6-C across all specified parameters. Stud size, wire gauge capacity, termination method, contact material, finish, and dimensional specifications are identical, enabling direct substitution without design changes.

Q: What is the primary difference between P18-10RHT6-C and P18-10RHT6-M?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The P18-10RHT6-C is classified as obsolete, while the P18-10RHT6-M is active. The P18-10RHT6-M is supplied in bulk packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Substitution does not introduce compliance risks or regulatory conflicts.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of P18-10RHT6-M affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration does not affect electrical performance, mechanical properties, or functional characteristics. Bulk packaging is a supply and logistics consideration only.

Q: What wire gauge range is supported by the P18-10RHT6-M?

A: The P18-10RHT6-M supports 18-22 AWG wire gauge, identical to the P18-10RHT6-C. This range accommodates standard wire sizes for #10 stud applications.

Q: Is the #10 stud size compatible with standard mounting configurations?

A: Yes. The #10 stud size is a standard specification for circular ring terminals. The free hanging in-line mounting type accommodates typical PCB and panel mounting applications.

Q: What is the contact finish specification for the P18-10RHT6-M?

A: The contact finish is nickel-plated copper. This finish provides corrosion resistance and maintains electrical conductivity across the contact interface.
