LCAX1/0-12-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX1/0-12-C is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1/0 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/2 stud connection. This non-insulated copper terminal features electro-tin contact finish and is rated for 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 LCAX1/0-12-C is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for wire gauge (1/0 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), insulation status (non-insulated), and all dimensional specifications including tab thickness, barrel inner diameter, barrel outer diameter, and ring inner diameter.

The LCAX1/0-12-X qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all specified dimensions and electrical characteristics. The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCAX1/0-12-C is obsolete while LCAX1/0-12-X maintains active status, making the latter suitable for new designs and ongoing procurement requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX1/0-12-X is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with LCAX1/0-12-C. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The LCAX1/0-12-X carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000). The transition from LCAX1/0-12-C to LCAX1/0-12-X presents no functional or compliance barriers for existing applications, as all dimensional tolerances, contact materials, and termination specifications remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX1/0-12-X be used as a direct replacement for LCAX1/0-12-C?

A: Yes. The LCAX1/0-12-X is a direct equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge (1/0 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and all dimensional specifications. The primary difference is product status: LCAX1/0-12-X is active while LCAX1/0-12-C is obsolete.

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

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence across wire gauge (1/0 AWG), stud/tab size (1/2 stud), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), insulation status (non-insulated), and all dimensional specifications including tab thickness (0.130"), barrel inner diameter (0.450"), barrel outer diameter (0.580"), and ring inner diameter (0.530").

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both LCAX1/0-12-C and LCAX1/0-12-X maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS tariff code (8536.90.4000). No additional compliance verification is required when transitioning between these parts.

Q: What is the packaging configuration for these terminals?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. LCAX1/0-12-C inventory includes 873 pieces, while LCAX1/0-12-X inventory includes 808 pieces of new original stock.

Q: Are dimensional tolerances identical between these parts?

A: Yes. All dimensional specifications are identical: overall length (2.140"), outer width (0.850"), tab thickness (0.130"), barrel inner diameter (0.450"), barrel outer diameter (0.580"), and ring inner diameter (0.530"). These parts are mechanically interchangeable.
