LCAS6-14F-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAS6-14F-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire termination onto a 1/4" stud. This component is part of the Pan-Lug™ series and features a non-insulated, electro-tin plated copper construction with a crimp barrel termination method. 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 eligibility for the LCAS6-14F-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (6 AWG) ensures proper current-carrying capacity and barrel crimp dimensions. The 1/4" stud size establishes mechanical fit on the mating component. Rectangular tongue terminal type and single stud hole configuration define the physical form factor. Crimp barrel termination method requires matching barrel inner diameter (0.220"), outer diameter (0.310"), and ring inner diameter (0.270") for proper wire termination. Tab thickness (0.080") and mounting type (Free Hanging, Right Angle) establish mechanical interface requirements. Contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin) determine electrical performance and corrosion resistance. Non-insulated construction and ROHS3 compliance are mandatory for direct substitution.

The substitute part LCA6-14F-L meets all these criteria and is classified as active product status, providing a direct equivalent for the obsolete LCAS6-14F-L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCA6-14F-L serves as the direct equivalent for the obsolete LCAS6-14F-L. All electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters are identical across both parts. The substitute part maintains ROHS3 compliance and carries identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000).

The primary distinction is product status: LCAS6-14F-L is obsolete while LCA6-14F-L is active. For new designs or replacement applications, LCA6-14F-L is the appropriate selection. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series, ensuring consistent quality and performance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCA6-14F-L be used as a direct replacement for LCAS6-14F-L?

A: Yes. LCA6-14F-L is a direct equivalent. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, termination methods, and material properties are identical. The substitute part is currently in active production status.

Q: What is the difference between LCAS6-14F-L and LCA6-14F-L?

A: The parts are functionally and dimensionally identical. The primary difference is product lifecycle status: LCAS6-14F-L is obsolete, while LCA6-14F-L is active. Both are Panduit Corp Pan-Lug™ series terminals rated for 6 AWG wire on 1/4" studs.

Q: Are the barrel dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical barrel specifications: 0.220" inner diameter, 0.310" outer diameter, and 0.270" ring inner diameter. These dimensions are critical for proper crimp termination of 6 AWG wire.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both LCAS6-14F-L and LCA6-14F-L are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and share the same HTSUS tariff code (8536.90.4000).

Q: What wire gauge is compatible with these terminals?

A: Both parts are designed for 6 AWG wire termination. The barrel dimensions and crimp specifications are established for this wire gauge only.

Q: Is insulation included with these terminals?

A: No. Both LCAS6-14F-L and LCA6-14F-L are non-insulated terminals. Insulation must be applied separately if required by the application.

Q: What stud size do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both parts are designed for 1/4" studs. The rectangular tongue terminal type and single stud hole configuration are fixed for this stud diameter.
