Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The SCMSX70-L has been identified with one direct equivalent substitute: SCMS70-L. This substitution is valid based on strict parameter matching across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part maintains identical functional characteristics through the following key parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 70mm²
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: SCMSX70-L is obsolete while SCMS70-L is active, making SCMS70-L the recommended procurement choice for ongoing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SCMS70-L is the direct equivalent substitute for SCMSX70-L. Selection of SCMS70-L is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: SCMS70-L maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain reliability. SCMSX70-L is obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts share identical export control classification (EAR99) and harmonized tariff codes (8536.90.4000). SCMS70-L carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for current procurement standards.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including terminal type, wire entry configuration, termination method, wire gauge capacity, and insulation specification.

For applications currently utilizing SCMSX70-L, direct substitution with SCMS70-L is appropriate without design modification or performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SCMS70-L be used as a direct replacement for SCMSX70-L?

A: Yes. SCMS70-L is a direct functional equivalent. All critical parameters—terminal type, wire entries, termination method, wire gauge, and insulation—are identical. The primary difference is product status: SCMS70-L is active while SCMSX70-L is obsolete.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: Product status indicates manufacturer support and availability. Active status (SCMS70-L) ensures continued production, technical support, and supply chain access. Obsolete status (SCMSX70-L) indicates the part is no longer manufactured and existing inventory is limited.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. SCMSX70-L packaging is not specified in available documentation. SCMS70-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Do these parts have different compliance certifications?

A: Both parts share identical export control (EAR99) and tariff classifications. SCMS70-L includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, which are current regulatory requirements for terminal components.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both SCMSX70-L and SCMS70-L are rated for 70mm² wire gauge applications.

Q: Is insulation included with these terminals?

A: No. Both parts are non-insulated butt splice terminals. Insulation must be applied separately if required by application specifications.
