LCAF300-58F-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAF300-58F-6 is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with a 5/8 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for continued procurement and system maintenance. The terminal features crimp barrel termination, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material suitable for high-amperage electrical connections.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAF300-58F-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: All substitute parts must support 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to maintain electrical capacity and connection integrity.

Stud/Tab Size: The 5/8 stud dimension is a fixed mechanical interface requirement. All substitutes must maintain this specification.

Terminal Type & Style: Rectangular tongue configuration with single stud hole design must be preserved across all equivalent parts.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the required connection mechanism. Barrel inner diameter (0.760") and ring inner diameter (0.660") establish the crimp interface specifications.

Contact Material & Finish: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. These specifications are non-negotiable for equivalent performance.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are mandatory for all substitutes to meet current environmental and safety standards.

The identified substitute parts LCAF300-58-6 and LCAX300-58F-6 satisfy all critical parameters while offering active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LCAF300-58-6

The LCAF300-58-6 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete LCAF300-58F-6. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: LCAF300-58-6 is active, ensuring manufacturer support, continued availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards. The packaging format is bulk, suitable for production environments. This part is the preferred selection for direct replacement applications.

Secondary Substitute: LCAX300-58F-6

The LCAX300-58F-6 provides an alternative equivalent with active product status. This part shares all critical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part, including mounting type designation (Free Hanging, Right Angle). A dimensional variance exists in the barrel outer diameter (0.950" versus 1.100"), which does not affect functional compatibility for the specified 300MCM wire gauge and 5/8 stud interface. This part is suitable for applications where the LCAF300-58-6 is unavailable.

Both substitute parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electrical component procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAF300-58-6 and LCAX300-58F-6 be used interchangeably with LCAF300-58F-6?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent to the obsolete LCAF300-58F-6 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. They share identical wire gauge (300MCM), stud size (5/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), and contact specifications. Both are suitable for direct replacement.

Q: What is the difference between LCAF300-58-6 and LCAX300-58F-6?

A: The primary difference is barrel outer diameter: LCAF300-58-6 has 1.100" (27.94mm) OD, while LCAX300-58F-6 has 0.950" (24.13mm) OD. Both maintain the same barrel inner diameter (0.760") required for 300MCM wire crimp connection. This dimensional variance does not affect functional compatibility for the specified application.

Q: Why is the original LCAF300-58F-6 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. Active equivalent parts (LCAF300-58-6 and LCAX300-58F-6) are available as replacements to ensure continued system support and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are the substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both LCAF300-58-6 and LCAX300-58F-6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electrical component procurement.

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

A: Both substitute parts are available in bulk packaging format, suitable for production and assembly environments.

Q: Does the mounting type differ between the main part and substitutes?

A: LCAF300-58-6 specifies Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, while both LCAF300-58F-6 and LCAX300-58F-6 specify Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle. The mounting designation does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for the terminal connection interface.

Q: Are all three parts (main and substitutes) non-insulated?

A: Yes. LCAF300-58F-6, LCAF300-58-6, and LCAX300-58F-6 are all non-insulated terminals with identical contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin).
