LCAX350-56F-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX350-56F-6 is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with a 5/16 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features crimp barrel termination, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material suitable for high-amperage electrical connections. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary due to the obsolete product status, which may result in supply chain limitations and extended lead times.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAX350-56F-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (350MCM kcmil), stud size (5/16), terminal type (rectangular tongue), terminal style (single stud hole), tab thickness (0.220"), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and insulation classification (non-insulated). The substitute part LCAX350-56-6 maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk versus unspecified). Both parts belong to the Pan-Lug™ series and carry equivalent regulatory compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX350-56-6 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCAX350-56F-6. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Pan-Lug™ series, ensuring compatibility in applications requiring 350MCM wire gauge terminals with 5/16 stud connections. The substitute part carries active product status, providing assured supply chain availability and continuity of production support. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry equivalent regulatory classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99). Selection of the LCAX350-56-6 eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and dimensional compatibility with existing circuit designs and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between LCAX350-56F-6 and LCAX350-56-6?

A: The LCAX350-56F-6 is classified as obsolete, while the LCAX350-56-6 maintains active product status. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The packaging configuration differs (unspecified versus bulk), but this does not affect terminal performance or compatibility.

Q: Are these terminals electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both terminals feature identical wire gauge (350MCM), stud size (5/16), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp barrel). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both LCAX350-56F-6 and LCAX350-56-6 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Why should I transition from LCAX350-56F-6 to LCAX350-56-6?

A: The LCAX350-56F-6 is obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation. The LCAX350-56-6 is an active product with assured availability, identical specifications, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Q: Will the substitute part fit existing assembly tooling and fixtures?

A: Yes. Both terminals maintain identical dimensional specifications, including tab thickness (0.220"), stud size (5/16), and terminal style (single stud hole). No tooling modifications are required.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both terminals are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and carry identical electrical ratings, mechanical properties, and material specifications.
