P6-38RHT6-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P6-38RHT6-E is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, classified as a D-shaped terminal designed for 6 AWG wire gauge applications with a 3/8 inch stud connection. This component is part of the Pan-Term® series and features a brazed seam construction with copper contact material and nickel finish. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for replacement and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P6-38RHT6-E is limited by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Substitutable):

• Wire Gauge: 6 AWG
• Terminal Type: D-Shaped
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Nickel
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Term®
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

Variable Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Stud/Tab Size: The primary differentiator among equivalent parts

The P6-14RHT6-E is identified as a substitute part within the same product family. This substitution is valid only when the mounting interface accommodates a 1/4 inch stud connection in place of the original 3/8 inch stud specification. The substitute maintains identical wire gauge, terminal geometry classification, contact material composition, and termination methodology.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P6-14RHT6-E serves as an active substitute for the obsolete P6-38RHT6-E when system design permits accommodation of a 1/4 inch stud connection. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical contact material specifications, ensuring regulatory and material consistency.

Selection of the substitute part requires verification that the receiving assembly or equipment interface is compatible with the 1/4 inch stud diameter. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring 6 AWG D-shaped ring terminals with crimp termination and nickel-plated copper contacts.

No other parameters differ between the main part and substitute in ways that would affect electrical or mechanical performance within compatible mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P6-14RHT6-E directly replace the P6-38RHT6-E in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the mounting interface accommodates a 1/4 inch stud connection. The stud diameter is the only dimensional difference between these parts. If the original equipment requires a 3/8 inch stud, the substitute will not fit.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 6 AWG wire gauge, copper contact material with nickel finish, and crimp termination methodology. Electrical performance is equivalent when properly installed on compatible stud sizes.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The P6-38RHT6-E is obsolete. The P6-14RHT6-E is an active production part from the same manufacturer and series, providing continued availability for applications with compatible 1/4 inch stud requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the P6-38RHT6-E and P6-14RHT6-E are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The P6-38RHT6-E has a width of 0.620 inches and overall length of 1.330 inches. The P6-14RHT6-E has a width of 0.470 inches and overall length of 1.210 inches. These dimensional reductions correspond to the smaller 1/4 inch stud size.

Q: Can I use the P6-14RHT6-E if I modify the mounting hole?

A: Modification of mounting interfaces is outside the scope of this engineering reference. Any design changes require formal engineering review and validation.

Q: Is the P6-14RHT6-E available in stock?

A: According to current inventory data, the P6-14RHT6-E has 1157 pieces available as new original stock in bulk packaging.
