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

Part Overview

The LCAX3/0-14H-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 3/0 AWG wire termination with a 1/4 inch stud connection. This component is classified as a Pan-Lug™ series terminal and features 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 of the LCAX3/0-14H-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (3/0 AWG) ensures proper current-carrying capacity and barrel crimp dimensions. The stud/tab size (1/4 inch) establishes mechanical fit with mating hardware. Terminal type (rectangular tongue) and ring ID (0.270 inch) define the connection interface. Barrel dimensions (ID 0.570 inch, OD 0.710 inch) are fixed by the crimp tool specification and wire gauge. Contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin) establish electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance properties. Non-insulated construction and orange color are standard for this wire gauge classification.

The substitute part LCAX3/0-14-X maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in mounting configuration and product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX3/0-14-X serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAX3/0-14H-X. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, and contact properties.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: LCAX3/0-14H-X is obsolete while LCAX3/0-14-X is active. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1158 pieces versus 903 pieces), ensuring supply continuity. The mounting configuration differs slightly, with the main part featuring a 45° angle option not specified for the substitute; however, both are classified as free hanging in-line mounting types.

Selection of LCAX3/0-14-X is appropriate for all applications previously specified with LCAX3/0-14H-X where the mounting angle is not a critical design constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are LCAX3/0-14H-X and LCAX3/0-14-X electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts carry 3/0 AWG wire, feature identical barrel dimensions (0.570" ID, 0.710" OD), copper construction with electro-tin finish, and equivalent current-carrying capacity. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active) and mounting configuration. LCAX3/0-14H-X specifies 45° angle mounting, while LCAX3/0-14-X specifies standard free hanging in-line mounting. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can LCAX3/0-14-X be used in applications designed for LCAX3/0-14H-X?

A: Yes, provided the mounting angle is not a critical design requirement. The 1/4 inch stud connection, ring ID (0.270"), and all electrical properties are identical. Physical orientation in the assembly may differ due to the mounting configuration change.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: LCAX3/0-14H-X is supplied in standard packaging (903 pieces in stock). LCAX3/0-14-X is supplied in bulk packaging (1158 pieces in stock).

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both LCAX3/0-14H-X and LCAX3/0-14-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both parts are designed for 3/0 AWG wire termination exclusively. The barrel dimensions and crimp specifications are fixed for this gauge.

Q: What is the stud size for these terminals?

A: Both terminals feature a 1/4 inch stud connection, establishing compatibility with standard 1/4 inch hardware.
