LCAF1-12H-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAF1-12H-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/2 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The terminal features a non-insulated copper construction with electro-tin contact finish, suitable for crimp barrel termination in free-hanging, 45° angle mounting configurations.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for repair, maintenance, and new production applications. Active alternatives within the Pan-Lug™ series provide functional equivalence while offering improved availability and current product support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAF1-12H-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 1 AWG
• Barrel inner diameter: 0.390" (9.91mm)
• Barrel outer diameter: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Ring inner diameter: 0.530" (13.46mm)
• Contact material and finish: Copper with electro-tin

Mechanical Parameters:

• Terminal type: Rectangular tongue
• Stud/tab size: 1/2 stud
• Tab thickness: 0.120" (3.05mm)
• Width at outer edges: 0.800" (20.32mm)
• Termination method: Crimp, barrel

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

The LCAF1-12-X qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is the mounting configuration and product status transition from obsolete to active production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAF1-12-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAF1-12H-X. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Transition: The LCAF1-12H-X is classified as obsolete, while the LCAF1-12-X maintains active production status within the Pan-Lug™ series. This transition ensures continued component availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters determining functional performance are identical between the main part and substitute, including wire gauge capacity, barrel dimensions, contact material and finish, and termination method.

Packaging Consideration: The LCAF1-12-X is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging specification is not provided. Bulk packaging does not affect component functionality and represents standard distribution for active production parts.

The LCAF1-12-X provides complete functional substitution for the LCAF1-12H-X without design modification or performance compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between LCAF1-12H-X and LCAF1-12-X?

A: The primary difference is product status and mounting configuration. The LCAF1-12H-X is obsolete with 45° angle mounting, while the LCAF1-12-X is active production with free-hanging in-line mounting. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can LCAF1-12-X be used as a direct replacement for LCAF1-12H-X?

A: Yes. The LCAF1-12-X is a direct substitute. Both parts share identical wire gauge (1 AWG), barrel dimensions, contact material and finish, tab thickness, and termination method. The mounting configuration difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with standard 1/2 stud connections.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications. There are no regulatory or environmental compliance distinctions.

Q: What does the packaging difference mean for component selection?

A: The LCAF1-12-X is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for active production terminals. Bulk packaging does not affect component specifications, performance, or compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by procurement volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are the barrel and ring dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical barrel inner diameter (0.390"), barrel outer diameter (0.590"), and ring inner diameter (0.530"). These dimensions ensure equivalent electrical contact and mechanical fit with 1 AWG wire and 1/2 stud connections.

Q: Why is the LCAF1-12H-X obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer production decisions. The LCAF1-12-X represents the active equivalent within the Pan-Lug™ series, providing continued availability and support for applications requiring 1 AWG rectangular tongue terminals with 1/2 stud connections.
