LCAX2/0-10-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX2/0-10-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2/0 AWG wire termination with a #10 stud connection. This non-insulated copper terminal features electro-tin contact finish and 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 LCAX2/0-10-X is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable for Substitution):

• Wire gauge: 2/0 AWG
• Terminal type: Rectangular tongue
• Termination method: Crimp, barrel
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Electro-tin
• Tab thickness: 0.130" (3.30mm)
• Overall length: 1.970" (50.04mm)
• Outer width: 0.960" (24.38mm)
• Barrel inner diameter: 0.510" (12.95mm)
• Barrel outer diameter: 0.640" (16.26mm)
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Insulation: Non-insulated

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Stud/tab size: The ring inner diameter varies based on stud size specification

The LCAX2/0-14-X qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all fixed parameters while accommodating a different stud size (#1/4 instead of #10), resulting in a different ring inner diameter (0.270" versus 0.200").

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LCAX2/0-14-X is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCAX2/0-10-X. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Consideration: The LCAX2/0-10-X is classified as obsolete, while the LCAX2/0-14-X maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1293 pieces in stock versus 708 pieces for the obsolete part).

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and EAR99 classification. This ensures no regulatory barriers to substitution.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for 2/0 AWG wire termination, including identical barrel dimensions, tab thickness, overall length, and width. The only variance is the stud size specification, which is application-dependent and must be selected based on the receiving stud diameter in the target assembly.

Packaging Availability: The substitute is available in bulk packaging, supporting production and inventory management requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX2/0-14-X directly replace LCAX2/0-10-X in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the receiving assembly accommodates a #1/4 stud connection. The ring inner diameter differs between parts (0.270" for the substitute versus 0.200" for the original), making stud size compatibility the determining factor for direct replacement.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The stud/tab size differs: LCAX2/0-10-X is designed for #10 studs, while LCAX2/0-14-X is designed for #1/4 studs. This difference results in a larger ring inner diameter on the substitute part. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 classification. Substitution introduces no regulatory compliance changes.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: Product status is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The LCAX2/0-14-X remains in active production and is the recommended alternative for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Does the substitute part require different crimping or termination procedures?

A: Both parts use identical crimp barrel termination methods. The wire gauge (2/0 AWG) and barrel dimensions remain constant, ensuring compatibility with existing termination equipment and procedures.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to this substitution?

A: The substitute part has higher inventory availability (1293 pieces versus 708 pieces), supporting improved supply chain reliability for ongoing production requirements.
