PV14-8LF-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PV14-8LF-L is a blue insulated spade terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for crimp termination of 14-16 AWG wire onto an 8 stud. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability through standard distribution channels. The part features a spring snap terminal type with tin-plated copper contacts and vinyl insulation, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PV14-8LF-L is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Wire gauge range: 14-16 AWG
• Stud size: 8 stud configuration
• Terminal type: Spring snap design
• Termination method: Crimp connection
• Insulation: Insulated construction
• Color: Blue
• Contact finish: Tin plating
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging in-line

The substitute part 52464-1 manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors satisfies all primary matching criteria. Both parts accommodate identical wire gauges, feature 8 stud terminals with spring snap action, utilize crimp termination, and maintain tin-plated contact finishes with blue insulation. Dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances for mechanical fit and electrical performance in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 52464-1 substitute part is suitable for applications requiring replacement of the obsolete PV14-8LF-L. The substitute maintains functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: identical wire gauge accommodation, stud size, terminal action, and termination method.

The 52464-1 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards applicable to electronic components. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Minor dimensional variations between the parts fall within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard spade terminal applications. The contact material difference (phosphor bronze versus copper) does not affect functional compatibility, as both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and tin plating ensures consistent contact performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 52464-1 directly replace the PV14-8LF-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge specifications (14-16 AWG), 8 stud configuration, spring snap terminal action, and crimp termination method. Dimensional variations are within acceptable tolerances for mechanical fit and electrical function in equivalent applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference between the two parts?

A: The PV14-8LF-L uses copper contacts while the 52464-1 uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are tin-plated and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact performance. The material difference does not affect functional compatibility in standard spade terminal applications.

Q: Why is the PV14-8LF-L listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer in active production. The 52464-1 substitute provides an active, currently manufactured alternative with equivalent specifications.

Q: What packaging is available for the 52464-1?

A: The 52464-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format.

Q: Does the 52464-1 meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 52464-1 is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating compliance with current environmental standards and no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The 52464-1 has a slightly smaller outer width (0.281" versus 0.290") and slightly longer overall length (0.991" versus 0.970"). The tongue inside opening differs marginally (0.164" versus 0.160"). These variations remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard applications.

Q: What is the insulation diameter range for the 52464-1?

A: The 52464-1 accommodates insulation diameters from 0.118" to 0.193" (3.00mm to 4.90mm), providing broader compatibility with various wire insulation thicknesses compared to the PV14-8LF-L specification of 0.170" (4.32mm).
