PK2-10R-T Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PK2-10R-T is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2 AWG wire gauge applications with a #10 stud circular configuration. This insulated crimp terminal features a brazed seam and serrated termination, with tin-plated copper contact material and PVDF insulation. The product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and system maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PK2-10R-T is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: terminal type (circular), stud size (#10), wire gauge (2 AWG), termination method (crimp), insulation presence, and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). The substitute part 0190710279 (Molex InsulKrimp series) satisfies all mandatory electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. Both parts accommodate identical wire gauge specifications, feature circular ring terminal geometry with #10 stud configuration, and employ crimp termination methodology. Physical dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerance ranges for mechanical mounting applications, and both utilize copper contact material with compatible tin-based finishes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0190710279 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Panduit PK2-10R-T. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The PK2-10R-T is classified as obsolete, while the Molex 0190710279 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: The Molex substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both terminals satisfy identical functional requirements for 2 AWG wire gauge applications with #10 stud circular configuration and crimp termination methodology. Dimensional variations fall within acceptable ranges for mechanical mounting applications without requiring design modifications.

Contact Material and Finish: Both parts utilize copper contact material with tin-based finishes (tin versus electro-tin), providing equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0190710279 directly replace the Panduit PK2-10R-T in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both terminals share identical wire gauge (2 AWG), stud size (#10), terminal type (circular), and termination method (crimp). Physical dimensions vary slightly, but these variations do not prevent mechanical compatibility in standard mounting applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include insulation material (PVDF versus PVC), contact finish specification (tin versus electro-tin), and dimensional tolerances. The Molex part features slightly greater thickness (0.075" versus 0.060"), reduced outer edge width (0.630" versus 0.680"), increased overall length (2.110" versus 1.950"), and larger insulation diameter (0.650" versus 0.550").

Q: Does the insulation material change affect electrical performance?

A: Both PVDF and PVC insulation materials provide adequate electrical isolation for this application category. Material selection does not impact electrical conductivity or contact resistance characteristics.

Q: Is the Molex part available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. The Molex 0190710279 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 890 pieces currently in stock.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for the substitute part?

A: The Molex 0190710279 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations. Both parts share identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000).

Q: What is the significance of the serrated termination feature on the original part?

A: The serrated termination on the PK2-10R-T provides enhanced mechanical grip during the crimp process. The Molex substitute does not specify this feature; however, both parts employ brazed seam construction and crimp termination methodology, ensuring equivalent mechanical integrity for standard applications.
