Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAS1-56H-E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 1 AWG (determines current carrying capacity and barrel dimensions)
• Stud/Tab Size: 5/16 Stud (determines mechanical fit and mounting compatibility)
• Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue (determines connection geometry)
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel (determines assembly process compatibility)
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper with Electro-Tin plating (determines electrical performance and corrosion resistance)
• Insulation Status: Non-Insulated (determines application environment suitability)
• Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant (determines regulatory acceptability)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above to ensure functional and mechanical interchangeability without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCA1-56H-E serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCAS1-56H-E. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCAS1-56H-E is obsolete, while LCA1-56H-E maintains active production status. This transition reflects standard component lifecycle management and ensures continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000), confirming regulatory equivalence for procurement and deployment.

Selection of LCA1-56H-E over LCAS1-56H-E is appropriate for all applications previously specified for the obsolete variant, with no design modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCA1-56H-E replace LCAS1-56H-E in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are identical across all electrical and mechanical parameters, including wire gauge (1 AWG), stud size (5/16), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper with electro-tin finish), and dimensional specifications. Direct substitution is supported without assembly modification.

Q: What is the primary reason for transitioning from LCAS1-56H-E to LCA1-56H-E?

A: LCAS1-56H-E is classified as obsolete, while LCA1-56H-E maintains active production status. This transition ensures supply chain continuity and access to current manufacturing inventory.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry identical ECCN classification (EAR99), and share the same HTSUS tariff code (8536.90.4000). Regulatory and export requirements are equivalent.

Q: What packaging is available for LCA1-56H-E?

A: LCA1-56H-E is supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with LCAS1-56H-E specifications.

Q: Are the dimensional specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: tab thickness 0.110" (2.79mm), outer width 0.700" (17.78mm), barrel ID 0.360" (9.14mm), barrel OD 0.470" (11.94mm), and ring ID 0.340" (8.64mm).

Q: Can these terminals be used interchangeably in new designs?

A: Yes. LCA1-56H-E is the active equivalent and is appropriate for all applications requiring 1 AWG rectangular tongue terminals with 5/16 stud connection and crimp barrel termination.
