LAPP 101380 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 101380 is a box mount connector base designed for side entry applications with dual PG29 threading and HB32 size configuration. This component provides IP65 ingress protection suitable for dust-tight and water-resistant installations in industrial environments. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and features aluminum alloy housing with powder-coated finish.

The 101380 carries Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and system compatibility for new installations and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 101380 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Size Classification: HB32
• Thread Size: PG29
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65 - Dust Tight, Water Resistant
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated
• Physical Dimensions: 124.50mm x 81.00mm x 72.00mm
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Style configuration (Side Entry, Dual vs. Side Entry single)
• Operating temperature upper limit (125°C vs. 100°C)
• Product status (Last Time Buy vs. Active)
• Series designation (EPIC® HB vs. EPIC® H-B)

The LAPP 10138000 qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and improved inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LAPP 10138000 Substitution Criteria:

The LAPP 10138000 is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued LAPP 101380. Selection of the 10138000 is appropriate when:

1. Availability Requirements: New installations or maintenance applications requiring active product status and guaranteed supply chain continuity. The 10138000 maintains Active product status with 963 units in current inventory.

2. Thermal Operating Envelope: Applications operating within -40°C to 100°C temperature range. The substitute part maintains the lower temperature limit of -40°C but reduces the upper operating temperature to 100°C compared to the original 125°C specification.

3. Connector Configuration: Applications requiring single side entry configuration. The 10138000 provides single-entry design versus the dual-entry configuration of the 101380.

4. Mechanical and Environmental Compatibility: All mechanical dimensions, threading specifications, ingress protection ratings, and housing materials remain identical, ensuring direct mechanical and environmental compatibility.

5. Regulatory and Compliance Alignment: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, maintaining compliance consistency across supply chain transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LAPP 10138000 directly replace LAPP 101380 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement is mechanically and environmentally compatible. The substitute maintains identical dimensions (124.50mm x 81.00mm x 72.00mm), thread size (PG29), ingress protection (IP65), and housing specifications. The primary difference is the single-entry versus dual-entry configuration and a reduced upper operating temperature limit (100°C vs. 125°C). Verify that your application does not require dual-entry functionality or sustained operation above 100°C.

Q: What is the significance of the style difference between dual and single entry?

A: The 101380 provides dual PG29 side entry points, while the 10138000 provides single PG29 side entry. This affects the number of connector positions available on the base. Applications requiring two simultaneous connector entries must retain the 101380 or identify alternative dual-entry bases. Single-entry applications can utilize the 10138000 without functional impact.

Q: Are there temperature-related limitations when substituting?

A: The LAPP 10138000 operates to a maximum of 100°C, compared to 125°C for the 101380. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C cannot use the substitute. Verify your maximum operating temperature requirement before selection.

Q: What is the inventory status difference?

A: The 101380 carries Last Time Buy status with 858 units available. The 10138000 is Active production with 963 units in stock. For long-term supply assurance, the 10138000 is the preferred selection.

Q: Are the series designations EPIC® HB and EPIC® H-B interchangeable?

A: Both designations reference the same EPIC product family from LAPP. The nomenclature variation reflects internal product line organization but does not indicate functional incompatibility. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the parameters provided.

Q: What certifications and compliance standards apply to both parts?

A: Both the 101380 and 10138000 share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory treatment and export compliance across the substitution.
