Equivalent & Substitute Parts for LAPP 100140 – Heavy Duty Connector Hood

Part Overview

LAPP part number 100140 is a heavy duty connector hood, categorized under "Heavy Duty Connectors," specifically designed for top entry with a PG13 thread, HB6 size, and offering IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant). Status is listed as obsolete, requiring identification of substitute models to maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within assemblies using the EPIC® HB series. Substitution is necessary due to end-of-life status to ensure ongoing production and maintenance needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part selection is strictly based on matching essential parameters: manufacturer, connector category, connector type, style (top entry), size (HB6), lock location (locking clip on base bottom), ingress protection rating (IP65), housing material and finish, operating temperature, and physical dimensions. Variations in thread size are noted and indicated in the comparison, as thread compatibility must conform to assembly requirements. The substitute maintains equivalent fit, function, and protection within its certified range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The main part, LAPP 100140, is obsolete. The substitute part, LAPP 10014000, is listed as active and matches all mechanical and environmental parameters except for operating temperature (-40°C ~ 100°C) and thread size (PG13.5). Both parts provide IP65 ingress protection and use equivalent housing material and finish. Ensure that thread size compatibility aligns with assembly fixture requirements. Select the substitute only where operating temperature requirements are ≤ 100°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What defines electrical and mechanical compatibility for substituting heavy duty connector hoods? A1: Compatibility is determined by matching mechanical size, connector type, lock location, thread size, ingress protection rating, housing material and finish, and operating temperature.

Q2: Is the thread size difference between PG13 and PG13.5 significant for substitution? A2: Thread size is an essential mechanical interface parameter and must be cross-checked for fit with mating components.

Q3: How does operating temperature range impact substitute selection? A3: The substitute part supports up to 100°C operating temperature; select only if this is within system requirements.

Q4: Are the physical dimensions between LAPP 100140 and LAPP 10014000 identical? A4: Both parts share identical listed dimensions.

Q5: Does the ingress protection (IP65) remain the same for both parts? A5: Yes, both maintain IP65 rated dust-tight and water-resistant protection.

Q6: Are both parts available with powder coated aluminum alloy housing? A6: Yes, housing material and finish are identical.

Q7: Are there any differences in packaging or series nomenclature affecting compatibility? A7: Both parts are packaged in bulk, with nearly identical series designation (EPIC® HB vs EPIC® H-B) as per manufacturer listing.

Q8: Why is substitution necessary for LAPP 100140? A8: LAPP 100140 is obsolete, making substitute selection necessary for continued support of existing designs.
