LCAF6-10H-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAF6-10H-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire termination on a #10 stud. This component is part of the Pan-Lug™ series and features a non-insulated, electro-tin plated copper construction with a 45° angle mounting configuration. The LCAF6-10H-L is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure component availability for new designs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAF6-10H-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge (6 AWG) and stud size (#10) establish the electrical and mechanical interface requirements. The rectangular tongue terminal type, crimp barrel termination method, and tab thickness (0.090") define the physical form factor and connection interface. Barrel inner diameter (0.220") and ring inner diameter (0.200") specify the crimp and stud engagement dimensions. Contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin) establish electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance properties. Non-insulated construction and ROHS3 compliance are mandatory characteristics for substitution eligibility.

The LCAX6-10-L qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment across all critical parameters. The primary distinction between the LCAF6-10H-L and LCAX6-10-L is the mounting configuration: the LCAF6-10H-L features a 45° angle mounting, while the LCAX6-10-L provides free hanging (in-line) mounting. Additionally, the LCAF6-10H-L is obsolete, whereas the LCAX6-10-L maintains active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX6-10-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAF6-10H-L. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge, stud engagement, termination method, and contact properties. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The primary consideration for substitution is the mounting configuration difference. The LCAF6-10H-L incorporates a 45° angle mounting feature, while the LCAX6-10-L provides standard free hanging (in-line) mounting. This distinction affects physical installation geometry and must be evaluated against specific application requirements. The LCAX6-10-L's active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete LCAF6-10H-L.

The barrel outer diameter differs between the two parts (0.370" for LCAF6-10H-L versus 0.310" for LCAX6-10-L), reflecting design refinement in the active substitute. This dimensional change does not affect the critical barrel inner diameter (0.220") or ring inner diameter (0.200") that determine crimp and stud engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX6-10-L directly replace the LCAF6-10H-L in all applications?

A: The LCAX6-10-L provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for wire gauge, stud size, termination method, and contact properties. The mounting configuration differs: LCAF6-10H-L features 45° angle mounting, while LCAX6-10-L provides free hanging (in-line) mounting. Application-specific installation geometry must be evaluated to determine suitability.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (#10), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.090"), barrel inner diameter (0.220"), ring inner diameter (0.200"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and non-insulated construction establish substitution criteria. Compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements is mandatory.

Q: Why is the LCAF6-10H-L classified as obsolete?

A: The LCAF6-10H-L is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The LCAX6-10-L represents the active equivalent product within the Pan-Lug™ series, providing continued component availability and supply chain support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The LCAF6-10H-L packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The LCAX6-10-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed based on specific procurement needs.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: Both the LCAF6-10H-L and LCAX6-10-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8536.90.4000 HTSUS code.

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

A: The barrel outer diameter differs (0.370" for LCAF6-10H-L versus 0.310" for LCAX6-10-L). This dimensional change reflects design refinement in the active product and does not affect the critical barrel inner diameter (0.220") or ring inner diameter (0.200") that determine functional engagement with wire and stud.
