LCAX2/0-14H-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX2/0-14H-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2/0 AWG wire termination with a 1/4 inch stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The part operates as a non-insulated crimp barrel terminal with electro-tin contact finish and copper base material, suitable for high-current electrical applications requiring reliable mechanical and electrical connections.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for repair, maintenance, and new production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must accommodate 2/0 AWG wire, ensuring proper barrel diameter and crimp characteristics.

Stud/Tab Size Equivalence: The 1/4 inch stud connection is a fixed mechanical interface requirement. Substitute parts must maintain identical stud dimensions to ensure proper mating with receiving hardware.

Terminal Type and Geometry: Rectangular tongue configuration with matching tab thickness (0.130 inches) and width (0.960 inches) ensures mechanical interchangeability.

Electrical Specifications: Barrel inner diameter (0.510 inches), outer diameter (0.640 inches), and ring inner diameter (0.270 inches) must remain constant to maintain electrical conductivity and mechanical integrity.

Material and Finish: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across substitute selections.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the sole acceptable connection method for this product category.

The LCAX2/0-14-X substitute part maintains all critical parameters while differing in mounting configuration and product status, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX2/0-14-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAX2/0-14H-X based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical wire gauge, stud size, terminal geometry, barrel dimensions, contact material, and contact finish specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the LCAX2/0-14H-X is obsolete, while the LCAX2/0-14-X maintains active production status. This status difference ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for the substitute part.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory equivalence for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

The mounting configuration differs between the two parts: the main part features a 45° angle mounting option, while the substitute provides standard free-hanging in-line mounting. This distinction does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interchangeability at the connection interface.

Selection of the LCAX2/0-14-X is appropriate for all applications previously specified for the LCAX2/0-14H-X, with the understanding that mounting orientation requirements must be evaluated based on specific installation geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX2/0-14-X directly replace the LCAX2/0-14H-X in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge (2/0 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), barrel dimensions, contact material, and termination method. The components are functionally equivalent at the connection interface.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The LCAX2/0-14H-X is classified as obsolete and no longer in active production. The LCAX2/0-14-X provides an active, currently available equivalent with identical performance specifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both components maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected designation, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: How do the mounting configurations differ?

A: The LCAX2/0-14H-X includes a 45° angle mounting option, while the LCAX2/0-14-X provides standard free-hanging in-line mounting. The 45° angle feature is specific to the obsolete part and is not replicated in the substitute. Applications requiring this specific mounting angle must evaluate alternative solutions or confirm that standard in-line mounting is acceptable for the installation.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The LCAX2/0-14H-X packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The LCAX2/0-14-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Specific packaging requirements should be confirmed with the supplier.

Q: Are the barrel and ring dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical barrel inner diameter (0.510 inches), barrel outer diameter (0.640 inches), and ring inner diameter (0.270 inches). These dimensions ensure consistent electrical conductivity and mechanical fit.

Q: Can inventory levels influence the selection decision?

A: Current inventory for the LCAX2/0-14-X is 1,293 pieces, confirming active stock availability. The obsolete LCAX2/0-14H-X inventory of 1,011 pieces represents remaining stock only, with no future replenishment expected.
