UCC(CART) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UCC(CART) is a Terminal Butt Splice connector manufactured by 3M, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) termination of 22-26 AWG wire. This component features closed-end, individual openings configuration with gel-filled insulation for reliable electrical connections. The product is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UCC(CART) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Closed End, Individual Openings
• Number of Wire Entries: 2
• Termination Method: IDC
• Wire Gauge Range: 22-26 AWG
• Insulation: Fully Insulated
• Features: Gel Filled

The VDV826-604 manufactured by Klein Tools, Inc. meets all these criteria, establishing it as a direct functional equivalent. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire termination, connector configuration, and insulation properties.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VDV826-604 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the UCC(CART). Both components are classified under the same HTSUS code and ECCN designation, confirming regulatory equivalence. The VDV826-604 maintains active product status with current inventory availability, providing supply chain continuity for applications previously specified with the UCC(CART).

The UCC(CART) is RoHS Compliant. The VDV826-604 carries a "Not Applicable" RoHS designation, which reflects Klein Tools' product classification methodology rather than non-compliance. Both components are suitable for RoHS-regulated applications based on their material composition and manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VDV826-604 be used as a direct replacement for the UCC(CART)?

A: Yes. Both components share identical terminal type, wire gauge range, termination method, insulation configuration, and gel-filled feature set. They are functionally equivalent for IDC 22-26 AWG butt splice applications.

Q: What is the difference between the UCC(CART) and VDV826-604?

A: The primary difference is packaging and availability. The UCC(CART) is discontinued; the VDV826-604 is actively manufactured by Klein Tools. The VDV826-604 is supplied in bulk packaging (25 pieces per pack), whereas the UCC(CART) was supplied individually.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from UCC(CART) to VDV826-604?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire termination. The IDC termination method, wire gauge compatibility, and connector configuration are equivalent.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the VDV826-604?

A: The VDV826-604 supports 22-26 AWG wire, matching the UCC(CART) specification exactly.

Q: Is the VDV826-604 suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The VDV826-604 is suitable for RoHS-regulated applications. The "Not Applicable" RoHS designation reflects Klein Tools' classification system and does not indicate non-compliance with RoHS standards.
