Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAF3/0-14H-X is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the Pan-Lug™ series. The substitute part LCAX3/0-14-X maintains compatibility through the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 3/0 AWG (identical)
• Stud/tab size: 1/4 Stud (identical)
• Ring ID: 0.270" (6.86mm) (identical)
• Contact material: Copper (identical)
• Contact finish: Electro-Tin (identical)
• Termination method: Crimp, Barrel (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Terminal type: Rectangular Tongue (identical)
• Tab thickness: 0.140" (3.56mm) (identical)
• Width - Outer Edges: 1.060" (26.92mm) (identical)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (identical)

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant (both parts)
• REACH Unaffected (both parts)
• ECCN: EAR99 (both parts)

The LCAX3/0-14-X is an active product with current manufacturing status, providing direct functional equivalence to the obsolete LCAF3/0-14H-X.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX3/0-14-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAF3/0-14H-X based on functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical wire gauge, stud size, terminal type, and contact specifications.

The LCAX3/0-14-X holds active product status with current manufacturing availability, ensuring supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new applications and replacements.

The primary difference between the parts is the barrel outer diameter (OD): the LCAF3/0-14H-X has a 0.810" (20.57mm) OD, while the LCAX3/0-14-X has a 0.710" (18.03mm) OD. This dimensional variance does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with standard 3/0 AWG crimp tooling and 1/4 inch stud connections. The mounting angle specification (45° Angle for LCAF3/0-14H-X versus standard In-Line for LCAX3/0-14-X) reflects design variations that do not impact functional substitution in applications requiring rectangular tongue terminals with identical electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX3/0-14-X directly replace the LCAF3/0-14H-X in existing applications?

A: Yes. The LCAX3/0-14-X maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the LCAF3/0-14H-X across all critical parameters including wire gauge (3/0 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), contact material and finish (copper with electro-tin), and termination method (crimp barrel). Both parts are non-insulated rectangular tongue terminals with identical ring ID and tab thickness specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the barrel outer diameter difference between these parts?

A: The LCAF3/0-14H-X has a barrel OD of 0.810" (20.57mm) while the LCAX3/0-14-X has a barrel OD of 0.710" (18.03mm). This dimensional difference does not affect electrical performance or compatibility with standard 3/0 AWG crimping equipment. Both barrels maintain the same inner diameter (0.570" / 14.48mm) for wire accommodation.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: The LCAF3/0-14H-X packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The LCAX3/0-14-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific application requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCAF3/0-14H-X and LCAX3/0-14-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial terminal applications.

Q: Why is the LCAF3/0-14H-X listed as obsolete?

A: The LCAF3/0-14H-X is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The LCAX3/0-14-X is the active equivalent product within the Pan-Lug™ series, providing functional replacement with current manufacturing support and supply availability.

Q: What is the difference between the mounting type specifications?

A: The LCAF3/0-14H-X specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line), 45° Angle" mounting, while the LCAX3/0-14-X specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)" mounting. Both are free-hanging configurations suitable for in-line applications. The 45° angle specification on the LCAF3/0-14H-X represents a design variant that does not affect functional substitution for standard rectangular tongue terminal applications.
