Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCA1/0-10-X directly replace the LCAS1/0-10-X in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rectangular terminal connectors with identical functional classification, regulatory compliance codes, and wire management purpose. The substitute part is the active production equivalent of the obsolete main part.

Q: Are there any compliance or export control differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. No change to export control documentation or tariff treatment is required when substituting the LCA1/0-10-X for the LCAS1/0-10-X.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: The substitute part's MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates unrestricted moisture exposure tolerance, whereas the main part carries a Not Applicable designation. This represents an enhancement in environmental protection capability for the substitute part.

Q: Why is the main part designated as obsolete?

A: The LCAS1/0-10-X is no longer in active production. The LCA1/0-10-X represents the current production designation for this terminal connector type and is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the technical parameters for either part. Contact the manufacturer for specific packaging configuration details if required for your application.

Q: What is the base product number significance?

A: The LCA1 base product number indicates the product family designation for the active substitute part. This nomenclature is used by Panduit Corp to identify the current production series for this terminal connector type.
