PV14-6LFX-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PV14-6LFX-C is a blue insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire onto a 6 stud. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing applications requiring this terminal type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV14-6LFX-C is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Wire gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Stud size: 6 stud
• Terminal type: Spring, Snap
• Termination method: Crimp
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Tin
• Insulation requirement: Insulated
• Color specification: Blue
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

Substitute parts must match all primary compatibility criteria to ensure functional equivalence in the application. The PV14-6LFX-C has two identified substitutes: P14-6LF-C and PV14-6LFX-M. The P14-6LF-C is a non-insulated variant and therefore not functionally equivalent for applications requiring insulation. The PV14-6LFX-M is an active product that matches all critical parameters of the obsolete PV14-6LFX-C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PV14-6LFX-M is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete PV14-6LFX-C. Both parts are identical across all critical parameters: wire gauge, stud size, insulation type, color, overall length, insulation diameter, and mechanical dimensions. The PV14-6LFX-M maintains active product status with current inventory availability (4520 pcs), ensuring supply chain reliability. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and EAR99 classification.

P14-6LF-C is not functionally equivalent to the PV14-6LFX-C due to its non-insulated construction. While it shares the same wire gauge, stud size, and termination method, the absence of insulation and vinyl material makes it unsuitable for applications requiring the insulated variant. Additionally, the reduced overall length (0.700" versus 0.950") introduces dimensional incompatibility. This part is appropriate only for applications explicitly requiring non-insulated spade terminals.

For direct replacement of the obsolete PV14-6LFX-C, select PV14-6LFX-M.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P14-6LF-C replace PV14-6LFX-C in my application?

A: No. The P14-6LF-C is a non-insulated terminal, while the PV14-6LFX-C is insulated. These are functionally distinct products. The P14-6LF-C lacks the vinyl insulation and blue color identification of the PV14-6LFX-C. Use P14-6LF-C only in applications that explicitly require non-insulated terminals.

Q: What is the difference between PV14-6LFX-C and PV14-6LFX-M?

A: The PV14-6LFX-C and PV14-6LFX-M are functionally identical. The primary difference is product status: PV14-6LFX-C is obsolete, while PV14-6LFX-M is active with current manufacturing and inventory support. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—PV14-6LFX-C, P14-6LF-C, and PV14-6LFX-M—are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. All carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: Does the length difference between P14-6LF-C and PV14-6LFX-C affect compatibility?

A: Yes. The P14-6LF-C has an overall length of 0.700" (17.78mm), while the PV14-6LFX-C measures 0.950" (24.13mm). This dimensional difference, combined with the insulation difference, makes these parts incompatible for direct substitution.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these terminals?

A: All three parts support 14-16 AWG wire gauge. This range is fixed across the entire product family and cannot be altered through substitution.

Q: Can I use these terminals with different stud sizes?

A: No. All three parts are designed exclusively for 6 stud applications. These terminals are not compatible with other stud sizes.
