SA300-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA300-2 is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for inline, individual openings crimp termination applications. This component accommodates 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge and features a non-insulated, gel-filled design with blue color coding. The SA300-2 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this specific terminal configuration.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SA300-2 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Panduit Pan-Lug™ terminal series. The substitute part SA300-E maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: terminal type (butt splice, inline, individual openings), wire gauge (300MCM), wire entry count (2), termination method (crimp), insulation type (non-insulated), and color (blue). Both parts comply with ROHS3 and share the same HTSUS classification (8536.90.4000).

The primary distinction between SA300-2 and SA300-E is product status and packaging configuration. SA300-2 is discontinued; SA300-E is active. SA300-E is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas SA300-2 packaging details are not specified. This substitution is valid for all applications where the SA300-2 was previously specified, provided bulk packaging is acceptable for the end application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SA300-E is the direct equivalent for SA300-2 applications. Selection of SA300-E is based on:

1. Electrical Equivalence: Identical wire gauge (300MCM), termination method (crimp), and connector configuration (butt splice, inline, individual openings).

2. Mechanical Compatibility: Matching terminal type, wire entry count (2), insulation type (non-insulated), and color coding (blue) ensure direct functional replacement.

3. Product Status: SA300-E is active and available, whereas SA300-2 is discontinued. SA300-E provides supply chain continuity.

4. Compliance: SA300-E maintains compatibility with existing regulatory requirements applicable to the SA300-2.

5. Packaging Consideration: SA300-E is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify bulk packaging is compatible with procurement and assembly workflows before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA300-E directly replace SA300-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. SA300-E is electrically and mechanically equivalent to SA300-2 across all specified parameters: terminal type, wire gauge (300MCM), wire entry configuration, termination method (crimp), insulation type, and color. Direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: SA300-2 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. SA300-E is the active equivalent part from Panduit Corp and provides continued supply availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between SA300-2 and SA300-E?

A: SA300-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. SA300-E is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: SA300-2 is ROHS3 compliant. SA300-E compliance status is not specified in available documentation. Both parts share the same HTSUS classification (8536.90.4000) and ECCN (EAR99).

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both SA300-2 and SA300-E are rated for 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge with two wire entries.

Q: Is this terminal insulated?

A: No. Both SA300-2 and SA300-E are non-insulated terminals with gel-filled, capped design.
