Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAX2/0-14F-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute must accommodate 2/0 AWG wire, as this determines the barrel dimensions and crimp interface.

Stud/Tab Size: The 1/4 inch stud connection 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 inner diameter (0.510"), barrel outer diameter (0.640"), and ring inner diameter (0.270") ensures proper fit and electrical performance.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination must be maintained for consistent assembly processes and field reliability.

Material and Finish Specifications: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance equivalent to the original part.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The LCAX2/0-14-X meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX2/0-14-X is a direct functional equivalent to the LCAX2/0-14F-X and is the appropriate substitute for this obsolete component. Selection of the LCAX2/0-14-X is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current manufacturing standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and material specifications are identical between the main part and substitute, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing circuit designs and assemblies.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and field replacements.

Supply Chain Continuity: The substitute part is available in higher inventory quantities (1293 pieces versus 892 pieces), supporting both immediate procurement needs and long-term supply chain planning.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for high-volume applications and field service inventory management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX2/0-14-X be used as a direct replacement for the LCAX2/0-14F-X?

A: Yes. The LCAX2/0-14-X is a direct substitute. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, material specifications, and regulatory compliance certifications are identical. The substitute is the active production equivalent of the obsolete LCAX2/0-14F-X.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for this terminal connector?

A: Compatibility is determined by wire gauge (2/0 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.130 inches), barrel dimensions (0.510 inch ID, 0.640 inch OD), ring diameter (0.270 inch ID), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), and contact finish (electro-tin).

Q: Are there any differences in mounting or installation between these parts?

A: The LCAX2/0-14F-X specifies right angle mounting type, while the LCAX2/0-14-X specifies free hanging (in-line) mounting type. Both are free hanging configurations suitable for in-line applications. Verify mounting orientation requirements for your specific application.

Q: Does the substitute part meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The LCAX2/0-14-X maintains ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code 8536.90.4000, identical to the main part.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for terminal connectors and suitable for both manufacturing assembly and field service applications.

Q: Why is the substitute part in higher inventory?

A: The LCAX2/0-14-X is the active production part (1293 pieces in stock) while the LCAX2/0-14F-X is obsolete (892 pieces in stock). Higher inventory of the active part reflects current manufacturing demand and supply chain management practices.

Q: Can I use the LCAX2/0-14-X in new designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part is active production status and fully compliant with current regulatory standards, making it suitable for new designs, manufacturing, and field service applications.
