PK6-10R-T Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PK6-10R-T is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, classified within the Pan-Term® series. This component is a circular ring terminal designed for 6 AWG wire gauge applications with a #10 stud connection. The part features insulated construction with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) insulation material and tin-plated copper contact finish.

The PK6-10R-T is currently listed with an Obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for applications requiring this terminal connector specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PK6-10R-T is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 6 AWG (fixed requirement)
• Stud size: #10 (fixed requirement)
• Contact material: Copper with tin finish (fixed requirement)
• Termination method: Crimp (fixed requirement)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Terminal type: Circular (fixed requirement)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (fixed requirement)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• REACH Unaffected status

The substitute part P6-10R-T maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. Both parts share identical wire gauge, stud size, contact material, contact finish, terminal type, and mounting configuration. Regulatory compliance certifications are consistent between the main part and substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P6-10R-T is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete PK6-10R-T. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (#10), contact material (copper with tin finish), terminal type (circular), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line).

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected regulatory requirements, ensuring compatibility within regulated applications.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status: the PK6-10R-T is obsolete, while the P6-10R-T maintains active production status. The P6-10R-T is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1166 pieces in stock versus 890 pieces for the main part).

Secondary differences include insulation construction (the main part features PVDF insulation; the substitute is non-insulated) and overall length (1.600" versus 1.210"). These dimensional and construction differences do not affect the core electrical and mechanical compatibility for standard 6 AWG to #10 stud crimp terminal applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P6-10R-T directly replace the PK6-10R-T in existing applications?

A: The P6-10R-T is electrically and mechanically compatible with the PK6-10R-T for applications requiring 6 AWG wire gauge termination to a #10 stud. Both components share identical wire gauge, stud size, contact material, contact finish, terminal type, and mounting configuration. The substitute is the manufacturer-recommended replacement for the obsolete main part.

Q: What is the difference between the insulated PK6-10R-T and the non-insulated P6-10R-T?

A: The PK6-10R-T features polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) insulation material, while the P6-10R-T is non-insulated. The insulation on the main part provides electrical isolation of the terminal barrel. Application requirements determine whether insulation is necessary. Non-insulated terminals are suitable for applications where the terminal barrel does not require electrical isolation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PK6-10R-T packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The P6-10R-T is supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability differs: P6-10R-T has 1166 pieces in stock, while PK6-10R-T has 890 pieces in stock.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the PK6-10R-T and P6-10R-T are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring compatibility within regulated applications and supply chains.

Q: Why is the overall length different between these parts?

A: The PK6-10R-T has an overall length of 1.600" (40.64mm), while the P6-10R-T measures 1.210" (30.73mm). This dimensional difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard crimp terminal applications. The difference may relate to design optimization or manufacturing process changes between the obsolete and active product versions.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The PK6-10R-T is obsolete. The P6-10R-T is active and available in bulk packaging with current inventory of 1166 pieces.
