PV18-10RX-M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PV18-10RX-M is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 18-22 AWG wire applications with a #10 stud connection. This insulated circular terminal features a crimp termination method and is constructed with copper contact material and tin finish. The product is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing applications requiring this connector type.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PV18-10RX-M is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Terminal Type: Circular configuration required for mechanical compatibility
Stud/Tab Size: #10 stud specification for fastener compatibility
Wire Gauge Range: 18-22 AWG for conductor accommodation
Termination Method: Crimp-type connection for assembly process compatibility
Insulation Status: Insulated construction for electrical safety
Contact Material and Finish: Copper with tin finish for electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance
Mounting Configuration: Free hanging in-line orientation for installation compatibility

The substitute part 0190730017 (Molex Avikrimp series) meets all these critical parameters, establishing functional equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0190730017 serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete PV18-10RX-M based on equivalence of all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for ongoing applications.

The 0190730017 provides improved regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status, compared to the original part's non-applicable status. The substitute maintains equivalent stud size, wire gauge range, contact material, and termination method specifications.

Minor dimensional variations exist in overall length (0.870" versus 0.960") and insulation diameter (0.140" versus 0.170"), with insulation material composition differing from vinyl to polyamide/nylon. These variations do not affect functional compatibility for standard #10 stud applications within the specified 18-22 AWG wire gauge range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0190730017 directly replace the Panduit PV18-10RX-M in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for terminal type (circular), stud size (#10), wire gauge (18-22 AWG), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper), and contact finish (tin). These parameters determine functional compatibility for ring terminal connector applications.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The overall length differs by 0.090" (PV18-10RX-M: 0.960" versus 0190730017: 0.870"), and insulation diameter differs by 0.030" (PV18-10RX-M: 0.170" versus 0190730017: 0.140"). These variations do not affect stud connection or wire termination compatibility.

Q: Does the insulation material change affect performance?

A: The substitute part uses polyamide (PA) nylon insulation instead of vinyl. Both materials provide electrical insulation for the specified application. The polyamide material in the substitute part supports improved regulatory compliance through ROHS3 certification.

Q: What is the availability status of the substitute part?

A: The Molex 0190730017 is classified as active product status with 84,525 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete PV18-10RX-M status. The substitute part is available for immediate procurement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PV18-10RX-M is packaged in standard format, while the 0190730017 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging does not affect component specifications or functionality.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: The Molex 0190730017 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing compliance with current environmental and safety regulations. The original PV18-10RX-M has not applicable status for these certifications.
