PV14-6FF-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PV14-6FF-C is a blue insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire to a 6 stud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability. The terminal features a flanged design with tin-plated copper contacts and vinyl insulation, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PV14-6FF-C is based on functional equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute maintain 14-16 AWG wire gauge capacity, ensuring proper crimp force and electrical contact characteristics.

Stud Configuration: The 6 stud size is preserved in the substitute part, maintaining mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and terminal blocks.

Termination Method: Both parts utilize crimp termination, allowing use of identical tooling and assembly processes.

Contact Material and Finish: Copper contacts with tin plating are maintained, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Insulation and Color: Blue insulated construction is preserved for circuit identification and safety compliance.

Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line mounting is consistent across both parts.

The substitute part 2-324165-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) satisfies these core functional requirements while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Part number 2-324165-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is the designated equivalent for PV14-6FF-C applications.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, ensuring regulatory continuity. The substitute part carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating superior environmental stability compared to the obsolete Panduit part.

Product Availability: The substitute part maintains active product status with 26,747 units in stock, compared to the obsolete PV14-6FF-C. This ensures long-term procurement reliability and supply chain continuity.

Dimensional Considerations: Minor dimensional variations exist between the parts. The substitute is 0.100" shorter in overall length (0.780" vs. 0.880") and 0.014" wider at outer edges (0.294" vs. 0.280"). These variations remain within typical connector tolerance ranges and do not affect functional compatibility with standard 6 stud terminal blocks and connectors.

Insulation Material: The substitute utilizes PVC insulation versus vinyl in the original part. Both materials provide equivalent electrical insulation properties and environmental protection for the specified wire gauge range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-324165-1 be used as a direct replacement for PV14-6FF-C in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (14-16 AWG), stud size (6), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper with tin finish), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line). The parts are functionally equivalent for standard terminal block and connector applications.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part 2-324165-1 is 0.100" shorter overall (0.780" vs. 0.880") and 0.014" wider at outer edges (0.294" vs. 0.280"). These differences are within standard connector tolerance ranges and do not affect compatibility with mating components.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification. The substitute part has MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating superior moisture resistance. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: Part 2-324165-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling.

Q: Are the insulation materials equivalent?

A: The original part uses vinyl insulation while the substitute uses PVC. Both materials provide equivalent electrical insulation, dielectric strength, and environmental protection for 14-16 AWG wire applications.

Q: What tooling is required for termination?

A: Both parts utilize standard crimp termination methods. Existing crimp tooling for 14-16 AWG spade terminals is compatible with the substitute part.
