LCAX1/0-12H-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX1/0-12H-X 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 LCAX1/0-12H-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute must accommodate 1/0 AWG wire, as this determines the barrel diameter and crimp interface geometry.

Stud/Tab Size: The 1/2 stud specification is mandatory for mechanical compatibility with mating hardware and cannot be altered.

Terminal Type and Geometry: Rectangular tongue configuration with matching tab thickness (0.130"), barrel ID (0.450"), barrel OD (0.580"), and ring ID (0.530") ensures proper fit and electrical performance.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the required connection method and must be maintained.

Material and Finish: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish provides the specified electrical and corrosion resistance properties.

Insulation Status: Non-insulated configuration must be preserved for applications requiring this terminal type.

The LCAX1/0-12-X meets all these criteria and serves as the direct equivalent to the obsolete LCAX1/0-12H-X model.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX1/0-12-X is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCAX1/0-12H-X. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and termination method.

The LCAX1/0-12-X maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts carry equivalent regulatory compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and EAR99 classification.

The primary difference between the two models is the mounting type specification. The LCAX1/0-12H-X includes a 45° angle mounting designation, while the LCAX1/0-12-X specifies free hanging in-line mounting. This distinction reflects design variations that do not affect the core terminal functionality or electrical performance for standard 1/0 AWG applications.

Selection of the LCAX1/0-12-X for replacement applications is supported by complete parameter equivalence and active manufacturing status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX1/0-12-X directly replace the LCAX1/0-12H-X in existing applications?

A: The LCAX1/0-12-X provides electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters. Both terminals accommodate 1/0 AWG wire, feature identical barrel and ring dimensions, and utilize the same crimp barrel termination method. The mounting type difference (45° angle versus free hanging in-line) reflects design variation rather than functional incompatibility.

Q: What parameters must remain constant when substituting these terminals?

A: Wire gauge (1/0 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.130"), barrel ID (0.450"), barrel OD (0.580"), ring ID (0.530"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), termination method (crimp barrel), and insulation status (non-insulated) must all remain unchanged for proper substitution.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these two part numbers?

A: The LCAX1/0-12H-X is supplied in unspecified packaging, while the LCAX1/0-12-X is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and handling but does not alter terminal specifications or performance characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both the LCAX1/0-12H-X and LCAX1/0-12-X are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two models.

Q: Why is the LCAX1/0-12H-X classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation by Panduit Corp. The LCAX1/0-12-X remains in active production and provides complete functional equivalence, making it the appropriate replacement for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting type difference?

A: The LCAX1/0-12H-X specifies 45° angle mounting, while the LCAX1/0-12-X specifies free hanging in-line mounting. This reflects the physical orientation capability of the terminal during installation. Both configurations support the same electrical and mechanical interface with mating hardware.
