SCS500UP-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCS500UP-6 is a Terminal Butt Splice connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for inline, individual openings crimp termination applications with 500MCM (kcmil) wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for continued procurement and system maintenance. The Pan-Lug™ series terminal provides non-insulated butt splice functionality for two wire entries in brown coloration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCS500UP-6 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 500MCM (kcmil) capacity
• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Inline, Individual Openings configuration
• Number of Wire Entries: Two-entry design
• Termination Method: Crimp connection
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated construction
• Color: Brown
• Manufacturer Series: Pan-Lug™ family

The substitute part SCL500-6 maintains identical specifications across all functional and mechanical parameters, with the primary distinction being product status transition from obsolete to active and packaging format change from standard to bulk.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCL500-6 serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete SCS500UP-6 terminal. Selection of SCL500-6 is supported by the following factors:

Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters match the original specification, including wire gauge capacity, terminal configuration, and crimp termination method.

Compliance Status: SCL500-6 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part lists RoHS status as not applicable. This represents an improvement in regulatory alignment for new procurement activities.

Product Availability: SCL500-6 maintains active product status with 1045 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete SCS500UP-6 status. This ensures continued availability for system maintenance and new installations.

Regulatory Alignment: Both parts maintain identical REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification, with matching HTSUS commodity codes.

Packaging Consideration: SCL500-6 is supplied in bulk packaging format, whereas SCS500UP-6 packaging information is not specified. Bulk packaging may require adjustment to procurement and inventory management procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SCL500-6 directly replace SCS500UP-6 in existing installations?

A: Yes. SCL500-6 maintains identical terminal type, wire gauge capacity, number of wire entries, termination method, insulation type, and color specifications. The components are functionally equivalent for all crimp splice applications rated for 500MCM (kcmil) conductors.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: Product status transition indicates that SCL500-6 is currently manufactured and supported by Panduit Corp, ensuring continued availability for procurement. The obsolete status of SCS500UP-6 indicates discontinued production and limited future availability.

Q: How does the ROHS3 compliance of SCL500-6 affect compatibility?

A: ROHS3 compliance of SCL500-6 represents adherence to current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility with existing systems designed for the original SCS500UP-6 component.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: SCS500UP-6 packaging information is not specified in available documentation. SCL500-6 is supplied in bulk packaging format. Procurement processes should account for bulk packaging requirements when transitioning to SCL500-6.

Q: Do both parts share the same regulatory classifications?

A: Yes. Both SCS500UP-6 and SCL500-6 maintain identical REACH unaffected status, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. Regulatory documentation and export procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What is the base product number for SCL500-6?

A: The base product number for SCL500-6 is SCL500. This designation identifies the core product family within the Pan-Lug™ series.
