Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 105680 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Size: HA16
• Thread Size: PG21
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP65 - Dust Tight, Water Resistant
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated
• Physical Dimensions: 3.780" L x 1.969" W x 2.244" H (96.00mm x 50.00mm x 57.00mm)
• Lock Location: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom
• Series: EPIC® H-A

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Style: Side Entry (single) is acceptable as a substitute for Side Entry, Dual when electrical and mechanical interfaces remain compatible
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum operating temperature must not exceed -40°C; maximum operating temperature may be lower than 125°C if application requirements permit
• Product Status: Active status parts are preferred substitutes for Last Time Buy parts

The LAPP 10568000 qualifies as a substitute based on these criteria, with the primary distinction being configuration style (Single versus Dual) and maximum operating temperature (100°C versus 125°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LAPP 10568000

The LAPP 10568000 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the LAPP 105680. Selection of this part is based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Product Status Transition: The 105680 is designated Last Time Buy, indicating end-of-life status. The 10568000 carries Active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability for future procurement cycles.

2. Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical specifications for Connector Type, Size (HA16), Thread Size (PG21), Ingress Protection Rating (IP65), Housing Material (Aluminum Alloy), Housing Finish (Powder Coated), and physical dimensions. These parameters ensure direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within EPIC® H-A series installations.

3. Operating Temperature Consideration: The 10568000 operates across -40°C to 100°C, compared to the 105680 range of -40°C to 125°C. This represents a 25°C reduction in maximum operating temperature. Selection of the 10568000 is appropriate for applications where the maximum ambient or operating temperature does not exceed 100°C.

4. Configuration Difference: The 105680 features Side Entry, Dual configuration, while the 10568000 features Side Entry (single) configuration. This distinction affects the number of entry points available on the base unit. Application requirements must be evaluated to determine if single-entry configuration meets system needs.

5. Inventory Availability: The 10568000 maintains higher inventory levels (1111 Pcs) compared to the 105680 (655 Pcs), supporting immediate availability for new installations and replacement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the LAPP 10568000 directly replace the LAPP 105680 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the application operates within the 10568000 temperature range (-40°C to 100°C) and requires only single-entry configuration. If the original system requires dual-entry capability or operates above 100°C, alternative solutions must be evaluated.

Q2: What is the significance of the "Dual" versus single configuration difference?

A: The 105680 provides two side entry points on the base unit, allowing simultaneous connection of two connector modules. The 10568000 provides a single side entry point. System design must accommodate this structural difference.

Q3: Are both parts within the same EPIC® H-A series?

A: Yes. Both the 105680 and 10568000 belong to the EPIC® H-A series manufactured by LAPP. This series designation confirms compatibility with other EPIC® H-A components regarding mechanical interfaces and electrical specifications.

Q4: What does "Last Time Buy" status mean for the 105680?

A: Last Time Buy indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. Existing inventory may be available for a limited time, but no future production runs are planned. The 10568000 (Active status) represents the current production alternative.

Q5: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 3.780" L x 1.969" W x 2.244" H (96.00mm x 50.00mm x 57.00mm). This ensures mechanical fit compatibility within enclosures and mounting structures designed for either part.

Q6: What ingress protection level do both parts provide?

A: Both parts provide IP65 rating, classified as Dust Tight and Water Resistant. This rating ensures protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.

Q7: How should temperature range differences be evaluated during part selection?

A: Compare the maximum operating temperature requirement of your application against the 10568000 specification of 100°C maximum. If your application requires operation above 100°C, the 10568000 is not suitable, and alternative part numbers must be sourced.

Q8: Is the locking mechanism identical on both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature a Locking Clip (1) located on the Base Bottom, ensuring identical mechanical retention and security characteristics.
