Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete LCAS8-56F-L is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must match the following criteria:

Wire gauge specification of 8 AWG ensures compatibility with the intended conductor cross-section. The 5/16 stud size is a fixed mechanical interface requirement. Rectangular tongue terminal type with single stud hole configuration defines the physical form factor. Crimp barrel termination method and barrel dimensions (ID 0.180", OD 0.270") establish the wire attachment interface. Ring ID of 0.340" specifies the stud mounting hole clearance. Copper contact material with electro-tin finish provides the electrical interface and corrosion resistance. Non-insulated construction and ROHS3 compliance are mandatory for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCA8-56F-L is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCAS8-56F-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The LCA8-56F-L maintains active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory and trade compliance equivalence.

Selection of the LCA8-56F-L for applications previously specified with LCAS8-56F-L requires no design modification or re-qualification. The active status of LCA8-56F-L provides supply chain assurance and eliminates obsolescence risk associated with the LCAS8-56F-L designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCA8-56F-L be used as a direct replacement for LCAS8-56F-L?

A: Yes. The LCA8-56F-L is a direct equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications. The only difference is product status: LCAS8-56F-L is obsolete while LCA8-56F-L is active.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this terminal?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: 8 AWG wire gauge, 5/16 stud size, rectangular tongue terminal type, crimp barrel termination, 0.180" barrel ID, 0.270" barrel OD, 0.340" ring ID, copper contact material with electro-tin finish, and non-insulated construction.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between LCAS8-56F-L and LCA8-56F-L?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. REACH status for LCA8-56F-L is listed as unaffected.

Q: What is the packaging format for these terminals?

A: Both LCAS8-56F-L and LCA8-56F-L are supplied in bulk packaging format.

Q: Is there a base product number associated with the substitute part?

A: Yes. The LCA8-56F-L carries a base product number of LCA8, which identifies the core product family within the Pan-Lug™ series.
