LCAS2/0-12F-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAS2/0-12F-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2/0 AWG wire applications with a 1/2 stud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features crimp barrel termination, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material suitable for electrical connectivity applications requiring non-insulated rectangular tongue terminals.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure project completion without design modifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAS2/0-12F-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (2/0 AWG) ensures proper current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit within the barrel crimp zone. Stud size (1/2 stud) establishes mechanical mounting compatibility with receiving hardware. Terminal type (rectangular tongue) and termination method (crimp barrel) define the functional interface for both wire attachment and stud connection. Dimensional specifications including tab thickness (0.130"), barrel ID (0.450"), barrel OD (0.580"), and ring ID (0.530") establish physical interchangeability. Contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin) determine electrical performance and corrosion resistance. Non-insulated configuration and ROHS3 compliance establish regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The substitute part LCA2/0-12F-X meets all these criteria, with the primary distinction being active product status and bulk packaging availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCA2/0-12F-X serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAS2/0-12F-X. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent applications.

The primary operational difference is packaging configuration: the substitute is supplied in bulk format, which may require adjustment to procurement and inventory management procedures. This distinction does not affect component performance or compatibility within the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCA2/0-12F-X be used as a direct replacement for LCAS2/0-12F-X?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge (2/0 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), and all dimensional specifications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: LCAS2/0-12F-X is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production. LCA2/0-12F-X maintains active status, ensuring ongoing manufacturing and supply availability. This distinction is critical for long-term project planning and component procurement.

Q: How does packaging differ between these parts?

A: LCAS2/0-12F-X packaging is not specified in available documentation. LCA2/0-12F-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging typically accommodates larger order quantities and may require adjustment to receiving, storage, and inventory management procedures.

Q: Are compliance certifications equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are satisfied by either component.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Wire gauge, stud size, terminal type, termination method, tab thickness, barrel dimensions (ID and OD), ring ID, contact material, contact finish, and insulation configuration must all match. All specified parameters are identical between these components.

Q: Is inventory availability a consideration?

A: Current inventory shows 687 pieces of LCAS2/0-12F-X and 863 pieces of LCA2/0-12F-X available. However, given the obsolete status of LCAS2/0-12F-X, the active status and bulk availability of LCA2/0-12F-X provides superior long-term supply assurance.
