PS2-Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS2-Q is an inline terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination applications with a wire gauge range of 65000-100000 CMA. This component features individual parallel openings and non-insulated construction. The PS2-Q is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for new applications and ongoing support requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PS2-Q is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Terminal Type: Inline, Individual Openings (Parallel)
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The PS2-Q operates within the 65000-100000 CMA range. The substitute part PSCBRN-L operates within the 4-12 AWG range. These wire gauge specifications define the acceptable conductor sizes for each terminal and must be verified against application requirements to ensure proper electrical and mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PSCBRN-L serves as the active equivalent to the obsolete PS2-Q. Both components share identical terminal architecture (inline with individual parallel openings), wire entry configuration (2 entries), termination methodology (crimp), and insulation classification (non-insulated). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical export classification codes.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and wire gauge specification. The PS2-Q is obsolete and operates within 65000-100000 CMA parameters, while the PSCBRN-L is an active product operating within 4-12 AWG parameters. The PSCBRN-L is manufactured under the Pan-Lug™ series designation and is available in brown color specification.

Selection of the PSCBRN-L for new designs and ongoing applications is supported by its active product status, ensuring continued availability, manufacturing support, and regulatory compliance. Wire gauge compatibility with application requirements must be confirmed prior to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes PSCBRN-L a suitable substitute for PS2-Q?

A: Both components share identical terminal type classification (inline with individual parallel openings), wire entry count (2), termination method (crimp), insulation type (non-insulated), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3). Both are manufactured by Panduit Corp and carry identical export and tariff classifications.

Q: How do the wire gauge specifications differ between PS2-Q and PSCBRN-L?

A: The PS2-Q operates within 65000-100000 CMA range, while PSCBRN-L operates within 4-12 AWG range. These specifications define the acceptable conductor sizes for each terminal. Application wire gauge requirements must be matched to the appropriate terminal specification.

Q: Why is PS2-Q classified as obsolete?

A: The PS2-Q has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The PSCBRN-L represents the active equivalent product line for ongoing procurement and new design implementation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PS2-Q packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The PSCBRN-L is supplied in bulk packaging format.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both PS2-Q and PSCBRN-L are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What is the Pan-Lug™ series designation?

A: Pan-Lug™ is the series designation for the PSCBRN-L product line. This designation does not apply to the PS2-Q.
