Equivalent & Substitute Parts for P2-14RHT6-X

Part Overview

The P2-14RHT6-X is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, classified as a non-insulated crimp terminal with D-shaped geometry. This component is designed for 2 AWG wire termination on 1/4 inch studs and features a brazed seam construction with nickel-plated copper contacts. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing applications and new designs requiring this terminal type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P2-14RHT6-X is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Wire Gauge: 2 AWG (fixed requirement)
• Stud/Tab Size: 1/4 Stud (fixed requirement)
• Termination Method: Crimp (fixed requirement)
• Contact Material: Copper (fixed requirement)
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (fixed requirement)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Terminal Type: D-Shaped geometry or equivalent circular geometry with identical electrical and mechanical performance
• Contact Finish: Nickel or alternative finishes meeting equivalent corrosion resistance
• Thickness: 0.060" (1.52mm)
• Overall Length: 1.460" (37.08mm)
• Outer Width: 0.680" (17.27mm)

Substitute parts must maintain all primary criteria. Variations in terminal geometry (D-shaped versus circular) and contact finish are permissible when the substitute part maintains identical stud size, wire gauge, and electrical performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

P2-14R-T (Primary Substitute for 1/4 Stud Applications)

The P2-14R-T is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete P2-14RHT6-X when 1/4 stud mounting is required. This part maintains identical wire gauge (2 AWG), stud size (1/4), thickness, length, and width specifications. The primary difference is terminal geometry: P2-14R-T features circular geometry versus the D-shaped geometry of the original part. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and feature brazed seam construction. The P2-14R-T carries active product status with 4413 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity. Contact finish differs (tin versus nickel), which does not affect electrical performance for standard applications. The P2-14R-T is suitable for direct replacement in applications where terminal geometry flexibility exists.

P2-56RHT6-X (Substitute for 5/16 Stud Applications)

The P2-56RHT6-X maintains the D-shaped terminal geometry of the original P2-14RHT6-X and is suitable when 5/16 stud mounting is required instead of 1/4 stud. This part shares identical wire gauge (2 AWG), thickness, length, width, and nickel contact finish. The stud size difference (5/16 versus 1/4) is the only dimensional variation. The P2-56RHT6-X carries active product status with 740 units in stock and is ROHS3 compliant. This substitute is applicable only when the mounting stud size can be changed to 5/16 inch.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Term® series and maintain compliance with ROHS3, REACH, and EAR99 classifications identical to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P2-14R-T be used as a direct replacement for P2-14RHT6-X?

A: The P2-14R-T is functionally equivalent for 1/4 stud applications. Both parts accommodate 2 AWG wire, feature identical stud size, thickness, length, and width. The terminal geometry differs (circular versus D-shaped), but both geometries perform the same electrical function. The contact finish differs (tin versus nickel), which does not affect electrical performance. Compatibility depends on whether the application can accommodate circular geometry in place of D-shaped geometry.

Q: When should P2-56RHT6-X be selected instead of P2-14R-T?

A: The P2-56RHT6-X is selected when the mounting stud size must be 5/16 inch rather than 1/4 inch. This part maintains D-shaped geometry matching the original P2-14RHT6-X. Selection of P2-56RHT6-X requires confirmation that the target stud size is 5/16 inch and that D-shaped geometry is required or preferred.

Q: What is the difference between nickel and tin contact finishes?

A: Both nickel and tin finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for standard electrical applications. Nickel finish (P2-14RHT6-X and P2-56RHT6-X) and tin finish (P2-14R-T) are functionally equivalent for electrical conductivity and contact performance. Selection between finishes depends on specific application requirements and environmental conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The P2-14RHT6-X, P2-14R-T, and P2-56RHT6-X are all ROHS3 compliant. All three parts are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: The P2-14R-T has 4413 units in stock (active product status). The P2-56RHT6-X has 740 units in stock (active product status). Both substitutes are available for immediate procurement, addressing the obsolescence of the P2-14RHT6-X (712 units remaining in stock).

Q: Can wire gauge be changed when selecting a substitute?

A: No. All substitute parts must maintain 2 AWG wire gauge. Wire gauge is a primary compatibility criterion and cannot be altered without changing the fundamental electrical and mechanical characteristics of the terminal.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All parts are supplied in bulk packaging. No packaging format differences exist between P2-14RHT6-X, P2-14R-T, and P2-56RHT6-X.
