LCAF1/0-56H-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAF1/0-56H-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1/0 AWG wire gauge applications with a 5/16 stud connection. This non-insulated copper terminal features electro-tin contact finish and is rated for crimp barrel termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAF1/0-56H-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate 1/0 AWG wire gauge to ensure proper barrel crimp engagement and electrical conductivity.

Stud/Tab Specifications: The 5/16 stud size is a fixed mechanical interface requirement. Substitute parts must maintain identical stud diameter to ensure proper mounting and electrical connection to receiving hardware.

Barrel Dimensions: The barrel inner diameter (0.450"), outer diameter (0.670"), and ring inner diameter (0.340") establish the crimp geometry. These dimensions must remain constant across substitute parts to maintain proper wire termination and contact integrity.

Terminal Geometry: The rectangular tongue terminal type with 0.130" tab thickness defines the electrical and mechanical interface. Substitute parts must preserve this configuration.

Contact Properties: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures corrosion resistance and electrical performance. These specifications must be maintained in substitute parts.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are mandatory for substitute parts to meet current regulatory requirements.

The LCAF1/0-56-X meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct substitute for the obsolete LCAF1/0-56H-X.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAF1/0-56-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAF1/0-56H-X. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, terminal geometry, contact material, and contact finish.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status. The LCAF1/0-56H-X is classified as obsolete, while the LCAF1/0-56-X maintains active product status with higher inventory availability (1131 pieces versus 972 pieces). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements.

The LCAF1/0-56-X is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging specification is not provided. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 1/0 AWG rectangular tongue terminals with 5/16 stud connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAF1/0-56-X be used as a direct replacement for the LCAF1/0-56H-X?

A: Yes. The LCAF1/0-56-X is a direct substitute. Both parts maintain identical wire gauge (1/0 AWG), stud size (5/16), barrel dimensions, tab thickness, terminal geometry, contact material, and contact finish specifications. The substitute part is active and maintains full regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the LCAF1/0-56H-X and LCAF1/0-56-X?

A: The primary difference is product status. The LCAF1/0-56H-X is obsolete, while the LCAF1/0-56-X is active. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any mounting or installation differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical mounting specifications: free hanging (in-line) configuration with single stud hole terminal style. The LCAF1/0-56H-X includes a 45° angle mounting option, while the LCAF1/0-56-X specifies free hanging (in-line) mounting. Both configurations accommodate the same 5/16 stud interface.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the LCAF1/0-56H-X and LCAF1/0-56-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What wire gauge applications are these terminals rated for?

A: Both terminals are rated for 1/0 AWG wire gauge applications. The barrel dimensions (0.450" ID, 0.670" OD) and crimp specifications are engineered specifically for this wire gauge.

Q: Is the packaging difference significant for component selection?

A: The LCAF1/0-56-X is supplied in bulk packaging, while the main part packaging is not specified. For applications requiring specific packaging configurations, packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier. Functionally, both parts are identical.
