PMV6-6F-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PMV6-6F-L is a yellow M6 stud spade terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 10-12 AWG wire. This insulated terminal features a brazed seam and serrated termination, with tin-plated copper contact material. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and replacement applications where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PMV6-6F-L is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M6 stud connection point
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 10-12 AWG termination range
• Termination Method: Crimp connection type
• Insulation Classification: Insulated terminal with vinyl material
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper with tin plating
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Color Coding: Yellow insulation

The substitute part 3240044 from Phoenix Contact meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct functional equivalence in applications requiring PMV6-6F-L connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3240044 from Phoenix Contact serves as the functional equivalent for the obsolete PMV6-6F-L. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The PMV6-6F-L is obsolete, while the 3240044 maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability.

Compliance and Certifications: The 3240044 carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: Both terminals match on all critical functional parameters: M6 stud size, 10-12 AWG wire gauge, crimp termination, copper with tin contact finish, and yellow insulation. Dimensional variations (width and length) remain within acceptable tolerances for standard spade terminal applications.

Inventory Availability: The 3240044 is available in higher quantities (1784 pcs) compared to the PMV6-6F-L (888 pcs), supporting long-term supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3240044 directly replace the PMV6-6F-L in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both terminals share identical stud size (M6), wire gauge range (10-12 AWG), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper with tin finish), and insulation type (yellow vinyl). The minor dimensional differences in overall length and width do not affect functional compatibility in standard mounting configurations.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Panduit versus Phoenix Contact), series designation (Pan-Term® versus CLIPLINE), and product status (obsolete versus active). The 3240044 includes modern compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH unaffected) and slightly larger outer dimensions. These differences do not impact electrical or mechanical performance in equivalent applications.

Q: Why is the PMV6-6F-L classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production by Panduit Corp. The 3240044 provides continuity for applications requiring this terminal type.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The PMV6-6F-L packaging is not specified in available data, while the 3240044 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your specific procurement process.

Q: What is the significance of the tongue inside opening dimension?

A: The tongue inside opening (0.260" for PMV6-6F-L and 0.255" for 3240044) defines the internal clearance of the spade terminal ring. The 0.005" difference is negligible for standard M6 stud applications and does not affect compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: The 3240044 explicitly meets RoHS3 and REACH requirements. Regulatory compliance status for the obsolete PMV6-6F-L should be verified against your specific application requirements and regional standards.
