Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P18-10R-L is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part P18-10R-C maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

  • Terminal type and geometry (circular configuration)
  • Stud size (#10 stud)
  • Wire gauge compatibility (18-22 AWG)
  • Crimp termination method
  • Contact material and finish (copper with tin plating)
  • Physical dimensions (thickness, width, length)
  • Mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line)
  • Construction features (brazed seam, serrated termination)
  • Non-insulated design

The P18-10R-C differs from the P18-10R-L only in packaging configuration and product status, with the substitute part currently active in production and RoHS3 compliant.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P18-10R-C is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete P18-10R-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including terminal geometry, wire gauge compatibility, stud size, and contact materials.

The P18-10R-C is currently in active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The P18-10R-C is supplied in bulk packaging, providing flexibility for production environments.

Selection of the P18-10R-C for applications previously specified with P18-10R-L maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the P18-10R-L and P18-10R-C electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), wire gauge range (18-22 AWG), and stud size (#10). Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The P18-10R-L is obsolete, while the P18-10R-C is active in production. The P18-10R-C is supplied in bulk packaging and carries current RoHS3 compliance certification. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can the P18-10R-C be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P18-10R-C maintains identical dimensions, termination method, mounting configuration, and contact specifications. No design modification is required for substitution.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The P18-10R-L packaging is not specified in available documentation. The P18-10R-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application.

Q: Does the P18-10R-C meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The P18-10R-C is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both parts?

A: Both the P18-10R-L and P18-10R-C are rated for 18-22 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same stud sizes?

A: Yes. Both components are designed for #10 stud connections and are mechanically interchangeable in applications requiring this stud size.
