LCAS4/0-14-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAS4/0-14-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 4/0 AWG wire applications with a 1/4 inch stud connection. This non-insulated copper terminal features electro-tin contact finish and crimp barrel termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete LCAS4/0-14-X is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Pan-Lug™ series. The substitute part LCA4/0-14-X maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 4/0 AWG
• Stud size: 1/4 inch
• Terminal type: Rectangular tongue
• Termination: Crimp barrel
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Electro-tin
• Barrel dimensions: ID 0.570" (14.48mm), OD 0.710" (18.03mm)
• Ring ID: 0.270" (6.86mm)
• Tab thickness: 0.140" (3.56mm)
• Insulation: Non-insulated
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute differs only in overall length (2.350" versus 2.080"), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCA4/0-14-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAS4/0-14-X. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 4/0 AWG wire termination applications. The substitute part is currently active in production, ensuring supply availability and long-term support.

Selection of LCA4/0-14-X is appropriate for all applications previously specified with LCAS4/0-14-X. The increased overall length of the substitute (2.350" versus 2.080") provides additional barrel material without affecting functional performance in standard mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCA4/0-14-X be used as a direct replacement for LCAS4/0-14-X?

A: Yes. Both terminals are electrically and mechanically equivalent for 4/0 AWG wire applications with 1/4 inch stud connections. All critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish are identical.

Q: What is the difference between LCAS4/0-14-X and LCA4/0-14-X?

A: The primary difference is overall length. LCAS4/0-14-X measures 2.080" (52.83mm) while LCA4/0-14-X measures 2.350" (59.69mm). This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Additionally, LCAS4/0-14-X is obsolete while LCA4/0-14-X is an active product.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both LCAS4/0-14-X and LCA4/0-14-X are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What wire gauge do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both terminals are designed for 4/0 AWG wire with crimp barrel termination.

Q: What is the stud size for these terminals?

A: Both terminals feature a 1/4 inch stud connection point.

Q: What contact material and finish are used?

A: Both terminals use copper contact material with electro-tin finish.

Q: Are these terminals insulated?

A: No. Both LCAS4/0-14-X and LCA4/0-14-X are non-insulated terminals.

Q: What is the barrel inner diameter specification?

A: Both terminals have a barrel inner diameter (ID) of 0.570" (14.48mm).

Q: Can these terminals be used in high-current applications?

A: These terminals are designed for 4/0 AWG wire applications. Suitability for specific current levels depends on the complete circuit design and application requirements.
