LAPP 104480 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The LAPP 104480 is a base-mounted box connector accessory designed for side entry applications with PG21 thread size in the EPIC® H-A series. This component provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The part is currently in Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Identification of 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 104480 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or compatible:

Fixed Parameters (Must Match):

• Manufacturer: LAPP
• Series: EPIC® H-A
• Category: Heavy Duty Connectors
• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Style: Side Entry
• Thread Size: PG21
• Ingress Protection: IP65 (Dust Tight, Water Resistant)
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated

Variable Parameters (Allowable Differences):

• Size designation (HB10 vs. HA10)
• Physical dimensions (length variation within series tolerance)
• Operating temperature upper limit (125°C vs. 100°C)
• Product status (Last Time Buy vs. Active)

The substitute part 10448000 maintains all fixed parameters while introducing a size variant (HA10 instead of HB10) and reduced maximum operating temperature (100°C instead of 125°C). This substitution is valid for applications where the maximum ambient temperature does not exceed 100°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Consideration - Product Status: The LAPP 104480 is designated Last Time Buy, indicating end-of-life status. The LAPP 10448000 is an Active product within the same EPIC® H-A series, providing long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Temperature Operating Range: Selection between these parts must account for the maximum ambient temperature requirement. The 104480 supports operation to 125°C, while the 10448000 is rated to 100°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C must retain the 104480 or identify alternative sources. Applications with maximum ambient temperatures at or below 100°C are fully compatible with the 10448000 substitute.

Physical Dimensions: The 10448000 exhibits a 4mm (0.157") increase in length compared to the 104480. Installation environments with spatial constraints must accommodate this dimensional difference. Width and height dimensions remain identical, and the PG21 thread interface is unchanged.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain identical ingress protection ratings (IP65), housing materials (Aluminum Alloy), and finish specifications (Powder Coated). No compliance degradation occurs with substitution, provided temperature limits are observed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LAPP 10448000 be used as a direct replacement for LAPP 104480?

A: The 10448000 is a valid substitute for the 104480 in applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 100°C. Both parts share identical connector type, style, thread size, ingress protection rating, and housing specifications. The primary difference is the reduced upper temperature limit and a 4mm increase in length.

Q: What is the significance of the size designation change from HB10 to HA10?

A: The size designation change reflects a series variant within the EPIC® H-A product line. Both designations are compatible within the same series and maintain identical width and height dimensions. The length increases by 4mm in the HA10 variant.

Q: Why is the 104480 listed as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. The 10448000 serves as the active replacement within the EPIC® H-A series, ensuring continued availability for future applications.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues when substituting the 10448000 for the 104480?

A: No mechanical compatibility issues exist provided the installation space accommodates the 4mm additional length of the 10448000. The PG21 thread interface, locking clip location, and mounting configuration remain identical. Width and height dimensions are unchanged.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both the LAPP 104480 and LAPP 10448000 are supplied in Bulk packaging format, consistent with heavy duty connector accessory distribution standards.

Q: How does the operating temperature difference affect part selection?

A: The 104480 operates from -40°C to 125°C, while the 10448000 operates from -40°C to 100°C. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C must use the 104480. For applications with maximum ambient temperatures at or below 100°C, the 10448000 is fully suitable and offers the advantage of active product status.
