Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P8-14RHT6-Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: wire gauge (8 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), termination method (crimp), overall dimensions (1.140" length, 0.470" width, 0.040" thickness), contact material (copper), and brazed seam construction. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to terminal geometry (D-shaped versus circular) and contact finish (nickel versus tin). Both parameters fall within acceptable substitution criteria when the core electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical. The substitute part P8-14R-Q maintains all critical dimensional and material specifications while offering active product status and improved inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P8-14R-Q serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete P8-14RHT6-Q. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and dimensional characteristics. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The transition from D-shaped to circular terminal geometry and from nickel to tin contact finish does not affect functional compatibility when applied to equivalent 1/4 stud mounting applications. Selection of the P8-14R-Q is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications requiring 8 AWG crimp ring terminals with 1/4 inch stud connection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting P8-14RHT6-Q with P8-14R-Q?

A: The P8-14RHT6-Q is obsolete. The P8-14R-Q is the manufacturer-recommended active equivalent that maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and dimensional characteristics.

Q: Are the dimensional specifications identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical thickness (0.040"), length (1.140"), and width (0.470") specifications. These dimensions ensure mechanical compatibility in existing mounting applications.

Q: What is the difference between D-shaped and circular terminal geometry?

A: The main part features D-shaped terminal geometry while the substitute features circular geometry. Both geometries accommodate 1/4 inch stud connections and maintain equivalent electrical performance in free-hanging in-line mounting configurations.

Q: Does the contact finish change affect electrical performance?

A: The main part uses nickel contact finish while the substitute uses tin contact finish. Both finishes are suitable for copper base material in non-insulated crimp terminal applications and maintain equivalent electrical conductivity.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both P8-14RHT6-Q and P8-14R-Q are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the main part and substitute are designed for 8 AWG wire termination using crimp connection method.

Q: Is the substitute part available in different packaging options?

A: The P8-14R-Q is supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability is 1296 pieces in new original stock condition.
