Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LCAX1/0-14-X qualifies as a direct substitute for the LCAX1/0-14-C based on identical alignment across all critical substitution parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both parts accommodate 1/0 AWG wire, establishing baseline electrical compatibility.

Mechanical Interface: Stud/tab size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), and all dimensional specifications including tab thickness (0.130"), barrel ID (0.450"), barrel OD (0.580"), and ring ID (0.270") are identical.

Termination Specification: Both employ crimp barrel termination methodology, ensuring compatibility with existing assembly processes and tooling.

Electrical Properties: Contact material (copper) and contact finish (electro-tin) are identical, maintaining electrical performance characteristics.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCAX1/0-14-C is obsolete, while LCAX1/0-14-X maintains active status with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Procurement: LCAX1/0-14-X is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active product status with current manufacturing support, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Active status indicates ongoing compliance verification and quality assurance protocols.

For Obsolete Equipment Replacement: LCAX1/0-14-C inventory remains available (959 pieces in stock). However, LCAX1/0-14-X provides identical functional and mechanical performance with the advantage of active product status and future availability assurance.

Compliance Basis: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. LCAX1/0-14-X additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing expanded regulatory documentation for applications requiring comprehensive environmental compliance verification.

Supply Chain Consideration: Current inventory levels support both parts. LCAX1/0-14-X bulk packaging accommodates high-volume procurement requirements, while LCAX1/0-14-C remains available for legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are LCAX1/0-14-C and LCAX1/0-14-X electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts employ identical contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and are rated for 1/0 AWG wire gauge. Electrical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Can LCAX1/0-14-X replace LCAX1/0-14-C in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. All mechanical dimensions, stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), and termination method (crimp barrel) are identical. Direct substitution is supported without assembly modification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: LCAX1/0-14-C is obsolete, indicating discontinued production. LCAX1/0-14-X maintains active status with current manufacturing and quality assurance support. For new designs and long-term applications, active status ensures supply continuity.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: LCAX1/0-14-C packaging is unspecified in available documentation. LCAX1/0-14-X is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume assembly operations.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. LCAX1/0-14-X additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing expanded environmental compliance documentation.

Q: What wire gauge range do these terminals support?

A: Both parts are rated for 1/0 AWG wire gauge exclusively. They are not suitable for alternative wire gauges.

Q: Are these parts suitable for insulated or non-insulated applications?

A: Both parts are non-insulated terminals. They require external insulation or protective sleeving if isolation is required.
