LCAX3/0-14F-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX3/0-14F-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 3/0 AWG wire applications with a 1/4 inch stud connection. This component is classified as a Pan-Lug™ series terminal and features a non-insulated copper construction with electro-tin contact finish. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAX3/0-14F-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (3/0 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), barrel dimensions (ID 0.570", OD 0.710"), ring ID (0.270"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), tab thickness (0.140"), and insulation classification (non-insulated).

The LCAX3/0-14-X meets all substitution criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the mounting type configuration and overall length dimension. The main part LCAX3/0-14F-X specifies free hanging (in-line) and right angle mounting, while the substitute LCAX3/0-14-X specifies free hanging (in-line) mounting only. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications for the wire barrel and stud connection points.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX3/0-14-X is the direct active substitute for the obsolete LCAX3/0-14F-X. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, and contact properties. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1158 pieces), whereas the main part is obsolete.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status requirements. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with applications requiring 3/0 AWG rectangular tongue terminals with 1/4 inch stud connections and crimp barrel termination.

The primary design difference is the mounting type specification. The main part lists both free hanging (in-line) and right angle mounting options, while the substitute specifies free hanging (in-line) mounting. This distinction should be evaluated against specific application mounting requirements prior to component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX3/0-14-X directly replace LCAX3/0-14F-X in all applications?

A: The LCAX3/0-14-X provides electrical and mechanical interface equivalence for the wire barrel and stud connection. The mounting type specification differs between the two parts. Verify that the free hanging (in-line) mounting configuration of the substitute part aligns with your application requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in wire gauge (3/0 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), barrel ID (0.570"), barrel OD (0.710"), ring ID (0.270"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), tab thickness (0.140"), and insulation classification (non-insulated).

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: The LCAX3/0-14F-X is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The LCAX3/0-14-X is the active equivalent part currently in production and available for procurement.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No compliance differences exist between the two components.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The LCAX3/0-14-X has 1158 pieces available as new original stock, confirming active production and supply chain availability.

Q: How do the overall dimensions compare?

A: The substitute part specifies an overall length of 2.080 inches (52.83mm). The main part does not provide an overall length specification. Width and all other dimensional parameters are identical between the two parts.
