UY(CART) Terminal Butt Splice IDC Connector 22-26 AWG

Part Overview

The UY(CART) is a terminal butt splice connector manufactured by 3M, designed for splicing two wires in the 22-26 AWG range using insulation displacement connection (IDC) technology. This component features a closed-end design with individual wire openings, gel-filled insulation, and yellow color coding for visual identification.

The UY(CART) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this connector specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UY(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
• Color: Yellow

The substitute part VDV826-604 (Klein Tools, Inc.) meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire splicing applications within the specified gauge range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The VDV826-604 is the direct substitute for the discontinued UY(CART). Both components are classified under the same HTSUS code and ECCN designation, confirming functional and regulatory equivalence.

The UY(CART) carries RoHS Compliant certification. The VDV826-604 lists RoHS Status as Not Applicable, which does not indicate non-compliance but rather a different classification pathway by the manufacturer. Both parts meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications for 22-26 AWG IDC splicing applications.

The VDV826-604 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for applications previously specified with the UY(CART).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent terminal butt splices with identical specifications for wire gauge (22-26 AWG), termination method (IDC), insulation type (fully insulated, gel-filled), and connector configuration (closed-end, individual openings, 2 wire entries).

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The UY(CART) is supplied in a specific packaging configuration (indicated as "-" in available data). The VDV826-604 is supplied in bulk packaging at 25 pieces per pack. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between UY(CART) and VDV826-604?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The RoHS status difference reflects different manufacturer certification approaches rather than product compliance divergence. Both are suitable for regulated applications.

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

A: The VDV826-604 supports 22-26 AWG wire, identical to the UY(CART) specification.

Q: Is the VDV826-604 currently available?

A: Yes. The VDV826-604 is in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.
