Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 700854 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Base - Box Mount
• Style: Side Entry
• Size: HB16
• Thread Size: PG29
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (2) on Base Bottom
• Series: EPIC® HB family

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute must support the application's maximum required temperature
• Product Status: Active status preferred for new designs; Last Time Buy acceptable for replacement applications
• Packaging configuration: Not a functional constraint

The substitute part LAPP 70085400 maintains all mandatory matching parameters and belongs to the EPIC® H-B series variant within the same product family. The operating temperature range differs (100°C maximum versus 125°C maximum), which represents a functional constraint that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LAPP 70085400

The LAPP 70085400 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued LAPP 700854. This component maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility across all critical parameters including connector type, form factor, thread size, ingress protection rating, and housing specifications.

Temperature Consideration:

The operating temperature range differs between the two parts. The 700854 supports -40°C to 125°C operation, while the 70085400 supports -40°C to 100°C. Selection between these parts depends on the maximum ambient or operating temperature requirement of the target application:

• For applications with maximum operating temperatures at or below 100°C, the LAPP 70085400 is suitable as a direct substitute.
• For applications requiring operation above 100°C and up to 125°C, the temperature specification of the 70085400 must be evaluated against actual system thermal requirements.

Product Status Advantage:

The LAPP 70085400 carries Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing availability, supply chain stability, and long-term component sourcing for production and maintenance applications. The 700854 Last Time Buy status indicates end-of-life production.

Compliance and Certifications:

Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, confirming equivalent regulatory and trade compliance profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LAPP 70085400 be used as a direct replacement for the LAPP 700854 in all applications?

A: The LAPP 70085400 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 700854 across all form factor, mounting, and protection specifications. However, the operating temperature range differs. Applications operating above 100°C require evaluation of the 70085400's temperature specification against actual system requirements.

Q: What is the difference between EPIC® HB and EPIC® H-B series designations?

A: Both designations refer to the same EPIC® heavy-duty connector family. The series nomenclature variation does not indicate functional differences in the specified components. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces and electrical characteristics for the HB16 form factor.

Q: Why is the LAPP 700854 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. The LAPP 70085400 is the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both the LAPP 700854 and LAPP 70085400 share identical dimensions of 4.606" L x 2.283" W x 3.307" H (117.00mm x 58.00mm x 84.00mm), confirming mechanical interchangeability in box mount installations.

Q: What ingress protection level do these connectors provide?

A: Both parts provide IP65 ingress protection, classified as dust-tight and water-resistant. This rating is suitable for industrial environments with exposure to dust, moisture, and water spray.

Q: How do the locking mechanisms compare?

A: Both parts use identical locking mechanisms consisting of two locking clips positioned on the base bottom, ensuring equivalent mechanical retention and connector security.

Q: Is the LAPP 70085400 available in the same packaging as the 700854?

A: The 700854 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 70085400 packaging specification is not defined in the available data. Packaging configuration does not affect functional compatibility; verify packaging requirements with the supplier for procurement purposes.
