LCAF6-10-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAF6-10-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire gauge applications with a #10 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for continued procurement and system maintenance. The terminal features non-insulated copper construction with electro-tin contact finish, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. Locating functionally equivalent substitutes ensures design continuity and supply chain reliability for applications currently utilizing this connector.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between LCAF6-10-L and LCAX6-10-L is based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters that define functional compatibility. Both parts share identical specifications for wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (#10), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), insulation status (non-insulated), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). Both components maintain identical ring ID diameter (0.200"), tab thickness (0.090"), and width outer edges (0.450"). Compliance certifications are equivalent, with both parts meeting ROHS3 requirements and maintaining REACH unaffected status.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in overall length and barrel outer diameter specifications. LCAF6-10-L measures 1.520" overall length with 0.370" barrel OD, while LCAX6-10-L measures 1.190" overall length with 0.310" barrel OD. These dimensional variations do not affect the core electrical connection capability or wire termination function, as the critical barrel ID diameter (0.220") remains constant. The LCAX6-10-L represents an active product status alternative to the obsolete LCAF6-10-L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX6-10-L terminal connector serves as the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCAF6-10-L. Selection of LCAX6-10-L is supported by identical electrical specifications, matching wire gauge and stud size ratings, and equivalent contact material and finish properties. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications.

The dimensional differences in overall length and barrel outer diameter between these parts do not compromise electrical function or wire termination integrity. The critical barrel ID specification (0.220") remains constant, ensuring proper wire crimp characteristics. The reduced overall length and barrel OD of LCAX6-10-L may provide space optimization benefits in compact assembly configurations while maintaining full electrical compatibility.

For applications currently specified with LCAF6-10-L, transition to LCAX6-10-L is supported by functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The active product status of LCAX6-10-L ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX6-10-L directly replace LCAF6-10-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both terminals share identical wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (#10), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), and contact finish (electro-tin) specifications. The barrel ID diameter (0.220") is constant between both parts, ensuring equivalent wire crimp performance. Dimensional differences in overall length and barrel OD do not affect electrical function.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these two parts?

A: LCAF6-10-L measures 1.520" overall length with 0.370" barrel OD. LCAX6-10-L measures 1.190" overall length with 0.310" barrel OD. All other critical dimensions, including tab thickness (0.090"), width (0.450"), and ring ID (0.200"), are identical.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

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

Q: Why is LCAF6-10-L listed as obsolete?

A: LCAF6-10-L carries obsolete product status. LCAX6-10-L is the active equivalent, ensuring continued procurement availability and supply chain support for applications requiring this terminal connector type.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: LCAX6-10-L is supplied in bulk packaging, with 1119 pieces available in current inventory.

Q: Are the crimp barrel specifications identical between these parts?

A: The critical barrel ID diameter (0.220") is identical. The barrel OD differs: LCAF6-10-L is 0.370" while LCAX6-10-L is 0.310". This dimensional variation does not affect wire termination function, as the internal barrel ID controls crimp engagement.
