LCAF1/0-14F-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAF1/0-14F-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1/0 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/4 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method and is constructed from copper with electro-tin contact finish. Due to its obsolete status, identification of functionally equivalent substitute components is necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and system continuity applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAF1/0-14F-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (1/0 AWG) ensures proper current-carrying capacity and barrel crimp dimensions. The stud/tab size (1/4 stud) must remain constant to maintain mechanical fit within the assembly. Terminal type (rectangular tongue) and termination method (crimp, barrel) define the functional interface. Contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin) establish electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics. Tab thickness (0.130"), ring ID diameter (0.270"), and insulation classification (non-insulated) are dimensional and material specifications that must align for direct substitution. Regulatory compliance (ROHS3) confirms environmental and safety standards adherence.

The LCAX1/0-14-X meets all these critical parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX1/0-14-X is the qualified substitute for the obsolete LCAF1/0-14F-X. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, contact material, and contact finish. The LCAX1/0-14-X carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected classifications, confirming regulatory alignment. The substitute component is available in bulk packaging with 900 pieces in current inventory stock. Selection of the LCAX1/0-14-X eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and dimensional compatibility with existing assemblies and installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX1/0-14-X be used as a direct replacement for the LCAF1/0-14F-X?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge (1/0 AWG), stud size (1/4), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and all critical dimensional specifications. The components are functionally and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The LCAF1/0-14F-X is obsolete, while the LCAX1/0-14-X maintains active product status. The LCAX1/0-14-X also specifies an overall length of 1.820" (46.23mm) and has a barrel outer diameter of 0.580" (14.73mm), compared to the main part's barrel OD of 0.670" (17.02mm). The LCAX1/0-14-X is supplied in bulk packaging and features pink color coding, whereas the main part is black.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The LCAX1/0-14-X is supplied in bulk packaging with 900 pieces currently in stock inventory.

Q: Does the color difference between the parts affect functionality?

A: No. Color coding serves identification purposes only and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Both components are non-insulated terminals with identical contact material and finish specifications.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the LCAF1/0-14F-X and LCAX1/0-14-X are manufactured by Panduit Corp and belong to the Pan-Lug™ series.
