SA6-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA6-X is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for inline, individual openings crimp termination applications with 6 AWG wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as a non-insulated, gel-filled connector with gray coloring and is part of the Pan-Lug™ series.

The SA6-X has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure procurement availability, and support ongoing production and maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SA6-X terminal connector is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge (6 AWG) and number of wire entries (2) establish the electrical capacity and current-carrying capability of the connector.

Mechanical Parameters: Terminal type (butt splice, inline, individual openings) and termination method (crimp) define the physical form factor and installation methodology.

Material & Construction Parameters: Insulation type (non-insulated), color (gray), and features (cap, gel filled) ensure compatibility with existing system designs and environmental protection requirements.

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment for the substitute part.

The SA6-X has one identified substitute part: SA6-T. This substitute maintains equivalence across all critical parameters while differing in product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SA6-T is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued SA6-X. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters: 6 AWG wire gauge, two wire entries, crimp termination, butt splice inline configuration, non-insulated construction, gray color, and gel-filled cap features.

The primary distinction between the SA6-X and SA6-T is product status and availability. The SA6-X is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, whereas the SA6-T maintains active product status. The SA6-T is supplied in bulk packaging, which may require adjustment to procurement and inventory management procedures compared to the original packaging configuration of the SA6-X.

For applications requiring the SA6-X terminal connector, the SA6-T provides direct functional and mechanical substitution without modification to circuit design, installation procedures, or system performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SA6-T be used as a direct replacement for the SA6-X?

A: Yes. The SA6-T is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including wire gauge, terminal type, termination method, insulation type, and color.

Q: What are the key differences between the SA6-X and SA6-T?

A: The SA6-X is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the SA6-T maintains active product status. The SA6-T is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the SA6-T for the SA6-X?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for electrical or mechanical applications. Both components are non-insulated, 6 AWG, two-entry butt splice connectors with crimp termination and gel-filled caps. Installation procedures and system integration remain unchanged.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the SA6-T affect its suitability as a substitute?

A: Bulk packaging affects procurement and inventory management procedures but does not impact the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. Component specifications and functionality remain identical to the SA6-X.

Q: Are both the SA6-X and SA6-T compliant with regulatory requirements?

A: The SA6-X is confirmed ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compliance status for the SA6-T is not specified in available documentation.
