LAPP 704500 Hood Connector Top Entry PG16 HB10 IP65 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LAPP 704500 is a heavy duty hood connector accessory designed for top entry applications with PG16 thread size in the EPIC® H-A series. This connector provides IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The component features an aluminum alloy housing with powder coat finish and employs a locking clip mechanism on the base bottom for secure installation.

The 704500 carries a Last Time Buy product status, indicating discontinued production. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new installations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LAPP 704500 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Manufacturer: LAPP
• Series: EPIC® H-A
• Connector Type: Hood
• Style: Top Entry
• Thread Size: PG16
• Ingress Protection: IP65 (Dust Tight, Water Resistant)
• Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy
• Housing Finish: Powder Coated
• Physical Dimensions: 2.480" L × 1.161" W × 1.890" H (63.00mm × 29.50mm × 48.00mm)
• Lock Mechanism: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

Secondary Consideration:

• Size Designation: HB10 vs. HA10 (both accommodate PG16 thread size within the same series)

The substitute part 70450000 maintains all primary compatibility criteria. The size designation change from HB10 to HA10 represents a variant within the same EPIC® H-A series that preserves mechanical and electrical interface requirements for top entry PG16 applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LAPP 70450000

The LAPP 70450000 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the discontinued 704500. This part maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility across all critical interface parameters: PG16 thread engagement, IP65 environmental protection, identical physical envelope, and identical locking mechanism.

The 70450000 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the 704500 was originally specified.

Temperature Range Consideration:

The substitute part 70450000 operates across -40°C to 100°C, compared to the original 704500 range of -40°C to 125°C. In applications where sustained operation above 100°C is required, this temperature differential must be evaluated against actual system operating conditions.

Compliance and Certification:

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LAPP 70450000 be used as a direct replacement for the 704500?

A: Yes. The 70450000 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and maintains identical mechanical interfaces, thread sizing (PG16), ingress protection rating (IP65), physical dimensions, and locking mechanisms. Both parts are within the EPIC® H-A series and employ identical housing materials and finishes.

Q: What is the difference between HB10 and HA10 size designations?

A: Both HB10 and HA10 are size variants within the LAPP EPIC® H-A series. The HA10 designation on the substitute part 70450000 represents a current production variant that maintains full compatibility with PG16 thread applications and identical physical envelope specifications.

Q: Does the narrower operating temperature range of the 70450000 affect compatibility?

A: The 70450000 operates from -40°C to 100°C, while the original 704500 operates to 125°C. Substitution is appropriate for applications operating within the -40°C to 100°C range. Applications requiring sustained operation above 100°C require evaluation of actual system thermal conditions.

Q: Why is the 704500 listed as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this part number. The 70450000 represents the current production equivalent within the EPIC® H-A series and is recommended for all new installations and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 704500 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging information for the 70450000 was not specified in the manufacturer data. Contact the supplier to confirm packaging format for procurement planning.

Q: What is the IP65 rating significance?

A: IP65 indicates dust tight and water resistant protection. Both the 704500 and 70450000 meet this rating, confirming equivalent environmental sealing performance for outdoor and washdown applications.
