Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P8-10RNHT6-T is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part P8-10RNHT6-Q maintains identical specifications for terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, crimp termination, physical dimensions, contact material, contact finish, and brazed seam construction. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Term® series and share the same base product number P8-10.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration and product status. The P8-10RNHT6-T is supplied in standard packaging and is obsolete, while the P8-10RNHT6-Q is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains active product status. This substitution is valid because all functional and mechanical parameters that determine electrical performance and physical compatibility remain unchanged.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P8-10RNHT6-Q is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete P8-10RNHT6-T. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The P8-10RNHT6-Q maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the P8-10RNHT6-T is obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The P8-10RNHT6-Q is certified as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing assurance of compliance with current environmental and regulatory standards. These certifications support long-term design validity and market acceptance.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All parameters governing electrical performance, mechanical fit, and functional operation are identical between the two parts. The D-shaped terminal geometry, 10 stud connection, 8 AWG wire gauge capacity, crimp termination, and brazed seam construction are preserved.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging rather than standard packaging. This distinction affects procurement quantity and logistics but does not alter component functionality or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P8-10RNHT6-Q be used as a direct replacement for P8-10RNHT6-T in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The P8-10RNHT6-Q is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the P8-10RNHT6-T. All critical parameters including terminal type, stud size, wire gauge, dimensions, contact material, and finish are identical. The parts are interchangeable in function and performance.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging configuration and product status. The P8-10RNHT6-T is supplied in standard packaging and is obsolete. The P8-10RNHT6-Q is supplied in bulk packaging and maintains active product status. Both parts share the same base product number P8-10 and are manufactured by Panduit Corp.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of P8-10RNHT6-Q affect component quality or performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration does not affect the electrical or mechanical properties of the terminal connector. The bulk packaging is a logistics and procurement consideration only. Component quality and performance specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The P8-10RNHT6-Q is certified as ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. These certifications provide assurance of regulatory compliance with current environmental standards. The P8-10RNHT6-T does not specify these certifications due to its obsolete status.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the P8-10RNHT6-T and P8-10RNHT6-Q are designed for 8 AWG wire. The crimp termination method is used to secure the wire to the copper contact material.

Q: What stud size is required for installation?

A: Both parts feature a #10 stud connection. The D-shaped terminal geometry is designed to accommodate a #10 stud or bolt for mounting applications.

Q: Can these terminals be used in insulated applications?

A: No. Both the P8-10RNHT6-T and P8-10RNHT6-Q are non-insulated terminals. They are suitable for applications where insulation is not required or is provided through external means.
