UCC-JAR500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UCC-JAR500 is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by 3M under the Scotchlok™ series. This component is designed for insulated wire splicing applications using insulation displacement connector (IDC) technology, accommodating wire gauges from 22 to 26 AWG. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing maintenance and repair applications where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UCC-JAR500 is determined by strict alignment of 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 substitute part VDV826-604 manufactured by Klein Tools, Inc. meets all these criteria, making it functionally equivalent for applications requiring the UCC-JAR500 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VDV826-604 is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the UCC-JAR500. Both components share identical functional parameters across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The VDV826-604 maintains active product status with current inventory availability, whereas the UCC-JAR500 is discontinued. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and are subject to the same HTSUS tariff code, confirming regulatory equivalence. Selection of the VDV826-604 ensures continuity of application performance without modification to existing circuit designs or installation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VDV826-604 be used as a direct replacement for the UCC-JAR500?

A: Yes. Both components are butt splice connectors with identical wire gauge ratings (22-26 AWG), termination method (IDC), insulation type (fully insulated), and gel-filled construction. They are functionally equivalent for all applications where the UCC-JAR500 is specified.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (3M versus Klein Tools) and product status (discontinued versus active). The UCC-JAR500 is part of the Scotchlok™ series, while the VDV826-604 is a standalone product. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Does packaging affect substitution?

A: The UCC-JAR500 is supplied individually, while the VDV826-604 is packaged in bulk (25 per pack). This is a packaging difference only and does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and share the same HTSUS code (8536.90.4000). The UCC-JAR500 is RoHS Compliant; the VDV826-604 lists RoHS status as Not Applicable. Both are suitable for equivalent applications.

Q: What wire gauges are supported?

A: Both the UCC-JAR500 and VDV826-604 support wire gauges from 22 to 26 AWG, accommodating the same range of conductor sizes.
