LCAN300-14-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAN300-14-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with a 1/4 inch stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAN300-14-X is limited to components within the Pan-Lug™ series that maintain identical wire gauge (300MCM), termination method (Crimp, Barrel), contact material (Copper), contact finish (Electro-Tin), and barrel dimensions (ID: 0.650", OD: 0.810"). The primary differentiating parameter between the main part and its substitute is the stud/tab size, which changes from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch. This variation affects the ring ID diameter and tab thickness but does not alter the fundamental electrical or mechanical compatibility with the wire gauge and barrel specifications. Substitution is valid only when the application circuit design accommodates the different stud size requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAN300-38-X serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete LCAN300-14-X within the Pan-Lug™ terminal series. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment. The LCAN300-38-X is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, providing supply chain reliability for new designs and replacement applications. Selection of the LCAN300-38-X requires verification that the application circuit design accommodates the 3/8 inch stud connection, as this represents the primary mechanical difference from the original 1/4 inch stud configuration. The identical barrel dimensions, wire gauge rating, and contact specifications ensure electrical performance equivalence when stud size compatibility is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAN300-38-X directly replace the LCAN300-14-X in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the mounting interface accommodates a 3/8 inch stud. The stud size difference is the primary mechanical variation between these components. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the ring ID difference between these parts?

A: The ring ID (0.270" for LCAN300-14-X versus 0.410" for LCAN300-38-X) corresponds to the stud size specification. This dimension is determined by the stud diameter and does not affect wire gauge compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Are both components suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both the LCAN300-14-X and LCAN300-38-X are rated for 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge. The stud size variation does not alter the wire termination capacity or barrel specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Why is the LCAN300-14-X listed as obsolete?

A: The LCAN300-14-X has been discontinued by Panduit Corp. The LCAN300-38-X represents the active product line continuation within the Pan-Lug™ series for 300MCM rectangular tongue terminals.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The LCAN300-14-X was supplied in standard packaging, while the LCAN300-38-X is available in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component performance or compatibility.
