LCAX2/0-10F-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX2/0-10F-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2/0 AWG wire applications with a #10 stud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAX2/0-10F-X is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Wire Gauge: 2/0 AWG
• Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue
• Tab Thickness: 0.130" (3.30mm)
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Electro-Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

Variable Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Stud/Tab Size: Determines mounting hole compatibility
• Barrel Diameter (ID/OD): Maintains electrical and mechanical connection integrity
• Ring ID: Accommodates stud diameter variation

The LCAX2/0-14-X qualifies as a substitute based on matching all fixed parameters while accommodating a different stud size (#1/4 versus #10), which represents a valid alternative for applications where the mounting interface permits this variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX2/0-14-X is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCAX2/0-10F-X. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and production continuity.

The primary distinction between these parts is the stud size: the main part features a #10 stud configuration, while the substitute utilizes a #1/4 stud. This difference results in a corresponding variation in ring ID diameter (0.200" versus 0.270"), accommodating the larger stud diameter of the substitute part.

All electrical and mechanical characteristics critical to 2/0 AWG wire termination remain identical, including barrel dimensions, tab thickness, contact material, and termination methodology. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX2/0-14-X directly replace the LCAX2/0-10F-X in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement depends on the mounting interface. The stud size difference (#1/4 versus #10) requires that the receiving component (bus bar, connector block, or terminal pad) accommodate the larger #1/4 stud diameter. If the mounting holes are sized for #10 studs, the substitute part will not fit.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 2/0 AWG wire, feature identical barrel dimensions (0.510" ID, 0.640" OD), and utilize the same copper contact material with electro-tin finish. Electrical performance for the wire termination is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the ring ID diameter difference?

A: The ring ID diameter (0.200" for the main part, 0.270" for the substitute) is determined by the stud size. The larger ring ID of the substitute accommodates the #1/4 stud, while the main part's smaller ring ID is sized for the #10 stud. This is a mechanical accommodation, not an electrical parameter.

Q: Why is the main part obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. The LCAX2/0-14-X remains in active production and serves the same functional purpose for 2/0 AWG terminal applications within the Pan-Lug™ series.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining identical regulatory status for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The LCAX2/0-14-X is available in bulk packaging with 1293 pieces currently in stock.
