SCMSX10-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCMSX10-C is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for inline, individual openings crimp termination applications. This non-insulated butt splice terminal accommodates 10mm² wire gauge and features two wire entries for direct wire-to-wire connections. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components to maintain continuity in repair, maintenance, and legacy system applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCMSX10-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Must be Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Number of Wire Entries: Must be 2
• Termination Method: Must be Crimp
• Wire Gauge: Must be 10mm²
• Insulation: Must be Non-Insulated
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

The substitute part SCMS10-C meets all these criteria, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in packaging configuration (SCMSX10-C supplied in standard packaging versus SCMS10-C supplied in bulk packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCMS10-C terminal serves as a direct substitute for the SCMSX10-C in all applications requiring a 10mm² non-insulated butt splice connector with crimp termination and two wire entries. Both components are classified as obsolete products, indicating they are no longer in active production by Panduit Corp.

Selection between these two equivalent parts should be based on packaging requirements and regulatory compliance needs. The SCMS10-C offers documented ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing additional regulatory assurance for applications subject to these compliance frameworks. The SCMSX10-C maintains identical functional specifications and electrical performance characteristics.

Both components carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000), ensuring consistent regulatory treatment in procurement and logistics operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SCMS10-C be used as a direct replacement for SCMSX10-C?

A: Yes. Both components are functionally identical, sharing the same terminal type, wire gauge (10mm²), number of wire entries (2), termination method (crimp), and insulation specification (non-insulated). The only difference is packaging configuration.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The SCMSX10-C is supplied in standard packaging, while the SCMS10-C is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and inventory management but does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance of the terminal.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between SCMSX10-C and SCMS10-C?

A: The SCMS10-C includes documented ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The SCMSX10-C does not specify these compliance certifications in available documentation. Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: Why are both parts classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Panduit Corp has discontinued active production of these components. Existing inventory remains available through authorized distributors, but new production orders cannot be placed directly from the manufacturer.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the SCMSX10-C and SCMS10-C are designed for 10mm² wire gauge applications exclusively.

Q: Is this terminal suitable for insulated applications?

A: No. Both components are specified as non-insulated terminals. Applications requiring insulated butt splice connectors require alternative part numbers with insulation specifications.

Q: How many wires can be connected using this terminal?

A: Both components feature two wire entries, accommodating direct connection of two individual wires in a butt splice configuration.
