PV10-10FX-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PV10-10FX-L is a yellow insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 10-12 AWG wire onto a #10 stud. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The Pan-Term® series terminal features a brazed seam construction with serrated termination for secure wire attachment. Due to its obsolete status, identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives is necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PV10-10FX-L is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute, PV10-10FX-D, maintains identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 10-12 AWG
• Stud size: #10
• Contact material and finish: Copper with tin plating
• Insulation type: Vinyl

Mechanical Parameters:

• Overall dimensions: 1.110" length, 0.370" width
• Tongue opening: 0.200" inside opening
• Insulation diameter: 0.250"
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Functional Parameters:

• Termination method: Crimp
• Terminal type: Standard spade configuration
• Construction features: Brazed seam with serrated termination

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

The substitute part differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk versus original packaging), with no variation in electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PV10-10FX-D serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete PV10-10FX-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Term® series and maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Selection Basis:

The PV10-10FX-D is the appropriate substitute based on the following factors:

1. Product Status: The PV10-10FX-D maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The PV10-10FX-L is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

2. Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

3. Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All specified electrical parameters (wire gauge, stud size, contact material and finish) and mechanical parameters (dimensions, insulation specifications, mounting configuration) are identical between the two parts.

4. Functional Compatibility: Both components employ identical termination methodology (crimp), construction features (brazed seam, serrated termination), and terminal configuration (standard spade type).

For new designs, system upgrades, or replacement procurement, the PV10-10FX-D is the specified substitute for the PV10-10FX-L.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV10-10FX-D be used as a direct replacement for PV10-10FX-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The PV10-10FX-D is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the PV10-10FX-L. All dimensional specifications, wire gauge ratings, stud sizes, and contact materials are identical. Direct substitution is supported without modification to assembly procedures or equipment.

Q: What is the difference between PV10-10FX-L and PV10-10FX-D?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The PV10-10FX-L is obsolete with original packaging, while the PV10-10FX-D is active production with bulk packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the PV10-10FX-L and PV10-10FX-D maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements are satisfied by either component.

Q: What wire gauge does the PV10-10FX-D accommodate?

A: The PV10-10FX-D is rated for 10-12 AWG wire termination, identical to the PV10-10FX-L specification.

Q: What stud size is required for the PV10-10FX-D?

A: The PV10-10FX-D is designed for #10 stud mounting, matching the PV10-10FX-L configuration.

Q: Is the insulation material the same on both parts?

A: Yes. Both the PV10-10FX-L and PV10-10FX-D utilize vinyl insulation with a 0.250" diameter specification.

Q: What is the termination method for the PV10-10FX-D?

A: The PV10-10FX-D uses crimp termination with serrated termination features and brazed seam construction, identical to the PV10-10FX-L.

Q: Does packaging affect the electrical performance of the PV10-10FX-D?

A: No. Packaging configuration (bulk versus original) does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional capability. The component specifications remain identical regardless of packaging type.
