LAPP 104501 Heavy Duty Connector Base - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 104501 is a base-mounted box connector accessory designed for side entry dual applications with PG16 thread size and HB10 configuration. 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 classified as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. 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 104501 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer: LAPP (EPIC® H-A series continuity)
• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Thread Size: PG16 (mechanical interface requirement)
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip on Base Bottom

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -40°C to 100°C
• Housing Color: Gray
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated

The substitute part 10450100 maintains compatibility through identical thread size (PG16), connector type (Base - Box Mount), ingress protection rating (IP65), and housing material (Aluminum Alloy). The primary difference is the configuration change from dual side entry (HB10) to single side entry (HA10), which represents a functional variation within the same product family rather than a direct one-to-one replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring dual side entry configuration (HB10): The LAPP 104501 remains the specified component. However, given Last Time Buy status, inventory planning should account for limited future availability. Current stock of 1098 pieces supports near-term procurement requirements.

For applications compatible with single side entry configuration (HA10): The LAPP 10450100 serves as an active production alternative within the EPIC® H-A series. This substitute maintains PG16 thread compatibility, IP65 ingress protection, and aluminum alloy construction. The operating temperature range reduction from 125°C to 100°C must be evaluated against specific application requirements. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for export and tariff purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LAPP 10450100 directly replace the LAPP 104501 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application does not require dual side entry functionality. The 10450100 provides single side entry (HA10) versus the dual configuration (HB10) of the 104501. Mechanical interface compatibility (PG16 thread, box mount base, IP65 rating) is maintained. System design review is required to confirm functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status for part 104501?

A: Last Time Buy designation indicates LAPP has discontinued production of this component. Existing inventory of 1098 pieces represents the final available stock. Organizations requiring this specific dual side entry configuration should secure quantities within the available inventory window.

Q: Are there temperature range implications when substituting the 104501 with the 10450100?

A: Yes. The 104501 operates to 125°C maximum, while the 10450100 operates to 100°C maximum. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C must retain the original 104501 specification. Applications with maximum operating temperatures at or below 100°C can accommodate the 10450100 substitute.

Q: Do both parts share the same thread size and ingress protection rating?

A: Confirmed. Both the 104501 and 10450100 feature PG16 thread size and IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant). These parameters are identical and ensure mechanical and environmental compatibility at the connector interface level.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 104501 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 10450100 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Procurement should confirm packaging requirements with LAPP directly to ensure compatibility with receiving, storage, and installation workflows.
