Equivalent & Substitute Parts for PM1-5R-C

Part Overview

The PM1-5R-C is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for circular stud applications with M5 mounting. This non-insulated crimp terminal accommodates wire gauges 18-22 AWG and features a brazed seam with serrated termination for secure electrical connections. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility across the same electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PM1-5R-C is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Terminal Type: Circular
Wire Gauge: 18-22 AWG
Termination Method: Crimp
Contact Material: Copper
Contact Finish: Tin
Insulation: Non-Insulated
Series: Pan-Term®
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Variable Parameters (Stud/Tab Size): The PM1-5R-C features an M5 stud configuration. Substitute parts may utilize different stud sizes (M3 or #10 stud) depending on application requirements. Stud size selection is application-dependent and must be verified against the target mounting interface.

The identified substitute parts P18-10R-C and PM1-3R-C maintain all mandatory matching parameters while offering alternative stud configurations. Both substitute parts are classified as active products with current inventory availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

P18-10R-C Selection Criteria: The P18-10R-C is an active product with 3003 units in current inventory. This substitute maintains identical wire gauge (18-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), and contact specifications (copper with tin finish). The #10 stud configuration differs from the M5 stud of the main part. Selection of P18-10R-C is appropriate when the target application requires a #10 stud mounting interface. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment.

PM1-3R-C Selection Criteria: The PM1-3R-C is an active product with 2060 units in current inventory. This substitute maintains identical wire gauge (18-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), and contact specifications (copper with tin finish). The M3 stud configuration differs from the M5 stud of the main part. Selection of PM1-3R-C is appropriate when the target application requires an M3 stud mounting interface. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Term® series, ensuring design consistency and manufacturing quality standards equivalent to the obsolete PM1-5R-C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PM1-5R-C be directly replaced with P18-10R-C or PM1-3R-C?

A: Direct replacement depends on the stud size requirement of the target application. The PM1-5R-C features an M5 stud. P18-10R-C provides a #10 stud alternative, and PM1-3R-C provides an M3 stud alternative. All three parts maintain identical wire gauge (18-22 AWG), crimp termination, and copper-tin contact specifications. Stud size compatibility with the mounting interface must be verified before selection.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: The following parameters must remain constant across any substitution: terminal type (circular), wire gauge (18-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), insulation type (non-insulated), and series designation (Pan-Term®). The stud/tab size may vary based on application requirements.

Q: Why is PM1-5R-C classified as obsolete?

A: The PM1-5R-C is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Active alternatives with equivalent electrical and mechanical performance are available through P18-10R-C and PM1-3R-C, both of which are currently in production and inventory.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both P18-10R-C and PM1-3R-C are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original PM1-5R-C. Both substitute parts are also REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference in physical dimensions between the substitute parts?

A: The PM1-5R-C has a width of 0.350" (8.89mm) and length of 0.710" (18.03mm). The P18-10R-C has a width of 0.310" (7.87mm) and identical length of 0.710" (18.03mm). The PM1-3R-C has a width of 0.230" (5.84mm) and length of 0.620" (15.75mm). Dimensional differences correlate to the different stud sizes and are inherent to the design specifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: P18-10R-C and PM1-3R-C are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory levels are 3003 units and 2060 units respectively.
