Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitutes are identified by directly matching parameters that define compatibility within the Terminals category. These include wire gauge, terminal type, stud size, terminal style, mounting method, termination type, insulation, contact finish, contact material, and compliance data. Only parts with matching critical electrical and mechanical specifications and regulatory compliance are considered subsitutes.
