LCAS1/0-56F-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAS1/0-56F-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1/0 AWG wire gauge applications with a 5/16 stud connection. This component is classified as a Pan-Lug™ series terminal and features electro-tin plated copper construction with non-insulated design. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete LCAS1/0-56F-X is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part LCA1/0-56F-X maintains identical specifications for wire gauge (1/0 AWG), terminal type (rectangular tongue), stud size (5/16), tab thickness (0.120"), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), barrel dimensions (ID 0.390", OD 0.520"), ring ID (0.340"), and insulation classification (non-insulated). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and share the same series designation (Pan-Lug™). The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, with the substitute available in bulk packaging and higher inventory levels.
