UR2(CART) Terminal Butt Splice Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UR2(CART) is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by 3M, designed for closed-end, individual opening IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) applications. This component is part of the Scotchlok™ series and is rated for 19-26 AWG wire gauges with gel-filled, fully insulated construction in red color.

The UR2(CART) has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this connector type and electrical specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UR2(CART) are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Terminal Type: Butt Splice, Closed End, Individual Openings
• Termination Method: IDC
• Wire Gauge Range: 19-26 AWG
• Insulation: Fully Insulated
• Features: Gel Filled
• Color: Red

The VDV826-605 manufactured by Klein Tools, Inc. meets all these core electrical and mechanical parameters, establishing it as a direct substitute for the discontinued UR2(CART).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VDV826-605 is the qualified substitute for the UR2(CART). Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical form factors, and regulatory compliance classifications. The VDV826-605 is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications.

Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and fall under HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. The UR2(CART) is RoHS Compliant; the VDV826-605 classification is not applicable. This difference does not affect functional substitution for applications where the original part was suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the VDV826-605 directly replace the UR2(CART) in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are terminal butt splices with identical wire gauge ratings (19-26 AWG), IDC termination method, gel-filled construction, and red color. They are mechanically and electrically equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between UR2(CART) and VDV826-605?

A: The UR2(CART) is listed with no specified packaging, while the VDV826-605 is supplied in bulk packaging at 25 pieces per pack. Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications. The UR2(CART) is RoHS Compliant; the VDV826-605 has not applicable RoHS status. This does not impact functional substitution.

Q: Why is the UR2(CART) discontinued?

A: The UR2(CART) has been discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The VDV826-605 remains in active production and is the recommended substitute for continued supply.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the VDV826-605?

A: The VDV826-605 supports 19-26 AWG wire gauges, matching the UR2(CART) specification exactly.
