Terminal style: Single stud hole
Termination method: Crimp, barrel
Contact material: Copper
Contact finish: Electro-tin
Ring ID: 0.270" (6.86mm)
Tab thickness: 0.130" (3.30mm)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line) with or without 45° angle specification
Overall length: Variation permitted within mechanical envelope constraints
Barrel OD: Variation permitted within functional limits

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LCAF2/0-14-X Selection Criteria:

The LCAF2/0-14-X is an active product status equivalent offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete LCAF2/0-14H-X. This substitute maintains the same wire gauge (2/0 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), barrel dimensions (0.510" ID, 0.730" OD), and ring ID (0.270"). The primary difference is the removal of the 45° angle mounting specification, resulting in a standard free-hanging in-line configuration. Overall length is specified at 2.490 inches. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the 45° angle mounting is not a design requirement. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained.

LCAX2/0-14-X Selection Criteria:

The LCAX2/0-14-X is an active product status alternative from the Pan-Lug™ series with identical core electrical specifications (2/0 AWG wire gauge, 1/4 inch stud, crimp barrel termination, copper with electro-tin finish). This substitute differs in barrel outer diameter (0.640" versus 0.730") and overall length (1.970" versus unspecified for main part). The color designation is black rather than orange. The reduced barrel OD and shorter overall length may provide space advantages in constrained mounting environments while maintaining the same ring ID (0.270") and barrel ID (0.510"). ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained.

Compliance Verification:

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status consistent with the main part specification. Both are classified under identical HTSUS code 8536.90.4000 and ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAF2/0-14-X directly replace LCAF2/0-14H-X in all applications?

A: The LCAF2/0-14-X maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for 2/0 AWG terminal connections with 1/4 inch studs. The primary difference is the absence of 45° angle mounting specification. Direct replacement is suitable for applications where standard free-hanging in-line mounting is acceptable. Verify mounting angle requirements in your specific application before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the barrel outer diameter difference between LCAF2/0-14-X and LCAX2/0-14-X?

A: The LCAF2/0-14-X features a barrel OD of 0.730 inches, while the LCAX2/0-14-X features a barrel OD of 0.640 inches. Both maintain identical barrel ID (0.510 inches) for wire gauge compatibility. The reduced OD in the LCAX variant may provide advantages in space-constrained applications. Selection depends on available mounting envelope and mechanical clearance requirements.

Q: Does color designation affect electrical performance or substitution eligibility?

A: Color designation (orange for LCAF2/0-14-X, black for LCAX2/0-14-X) does not affect electrical function or performance. Color is typically used for organizational or identification purposes in inventory management. Substitution eligibility is not affected by color variation.

Q: Are both substitute parts in active production status?

A: Yes. Both LCAF2/0-14-X and LCAX2/0-14-X are designated as active products, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The original LCAF2/0-14H-X is obsolete, making these active alternatives necessary for new procurement.

Q: What is the difference in overall length between the two substitute options?

A: The LCAF2/0-14-X has an overall length of 2.490 inches (63.25mm), while the LCAX2/0-14-X has an overall length of 1.970 inches (50.04mm). The LCAX variant is approximately 0.52 inches shorter. Length selection depends on available space in the terminal assembly and connection point geometry.

Q: Do both substitutes maintain the same wire gauge and stud size compatibility?

A: Yes. Both LCAF2/0-14-X and LCAX2/0-14-X are specified for 2/0 AWG wire gauge with 1/4 inch stud connections. Ring ID is 0.270 inches for both, and barrel ID is 0.510 inches for both, ensuring identical wire and stud compatibility with the original part.

Q: What packaging format is available for these substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging format. Inventory availability is 730 pieces for LCAF2/0-14-X and 1293 pieces for LCAX2/0-14-X.

Q: Are regulatory compliance certifications identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. The main part LCAF2/0-14H-X and both substitutes LCAF2/0-14-X and LCAX2/0-14-X maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000.
