Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 100050 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: HB6
• Thread Size: PG16
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65 - Dust Tight, Water Resistant

Important Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must support minimum -40°C to 100°C; original supports -40°C to 125°C

Minor Parameters (Preferred but Not Limiting):

• Housing Color: Gray
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated

The substitute part LAPP 10005000 maintains all critical parameters and important mechanical characteristics. The operating temperature upper limit differs (100°C vs. 125°C), which represents a functional constraint for applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: LAPP 10005000

The LAPP 10005000 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued LAPP 100050. This part maintains identical mechanical, electrical, and environmental specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term supply availability and design continuity.

Temperature Consideration:

The operating temperature range differs at the upper limit. The original part supports -40°C to 125°C, while the substitute supports -40°C to 100°C. For applications operating continuously or intermittently above 100°C, the original part specifications must be retained or alternative solutions evaluated. For applications within the -40°C to 100°C range, the substitute provides full functional equivalence.

Supply Chain Advantage:

The original LAPP 100050 is designated Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. The LAPP 10005000 substitute is Active status, providing assured availability for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LAPP 10005000 be used as a direct replacement for LAPP 100050 in all applications?

A: The LAPP 10005000 provides direct mechanical and environmental compatibility for applications operating within -40°C to 100°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C must retain the original LAPP 100050 specification or evaluate alternative solutions. All other functional parameters are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from EPIC® HB to EPIC® H-B?

A: Both designations refer to the same EPIC connector family. The series notation change reflects internal LAPP nomenclature updates. The mechanical and electrical characteristics remain equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original LAPP 100050 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The substitute LAPP 10005000 packaging specification was not provided in the available data. Confirm packaging requirements with the supplier for procurement planning.

Q: What is the reason for the Last Time Buy status on the original part?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of LAPP 100050. The LAPP 10005000 represents the current production equivalent, ensuring continued availability for new and ongoing applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 3.307" L x 2.047" W x 2.244" H (84.00mm x 52.00mm x 57.00mm). Box mount installation and side entry configuration are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Does the IP65 rating remain unchanged in the substitute part?

A: Yes. Both the original LAPP 100050 and substitute LAPP 10005000 maintain IP65 ingress protection classification, providing equivalent dust-tight and water-resistant performance.
