LCAX350-56H-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX350-56H-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 and potential supply chain constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Wire gauge must remain 350MCM (kcmil) to maintain current-carrying capacity and conductor compatibility. The stud/tab size of 5/16 is mandatory for mechanical and electrical interface compatibility. Terminal type, terminal style, and tab thickness must be identical to ensure proper mounting and electrical performance. Termination method (crimp, barrel) and contact material (copper) with electro-tin finish must be preserved. Insulation status (non-insulated) and color (blue) must match the original specification. All substitute parts must maintain Pan-Lug™ series designation and ROHS3 compliance.

The substitute part LCAX350-56-6 meets all these criteria and differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk versus original packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX350-56-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCAX350-56H-6. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for electronic component applications. The EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code are identical, indicating equivalent trade and compliance standing.

The primary distinction between the two parts is packaging configuration. The LCAX350-56-6 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the LCAX350-56H-6 utilized original manufacturer packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or functional application.

Selection of the LCAX350-56-6 as a substitute for the obsolete LCAX350-56H-6 is appropriate for all applications requiring 350MCM rectangular tongue terminals with 5/16 stud connection and electro-tin copper contact finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX350-56-6 be used as a direct replacement for LCAX350-56H-6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier (Panduit Corp) and maintains the same wire gauge (350MCM), stud size (5/16), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.220"), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper with electro-tin finish), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected).

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

A: The primary difference is product status and packaging. LCAX350-56H-6 is obsolete and was supplied in original manufacturer packaging. LCAX350-56-6 is active and supplied in bulk packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting LCAX350-56-6 for LCAX350-56H-6?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The substitute part meets all dimensional, electrical, and material specifications of the original part. Mounting type, stud interface, and wire gauge compatibility are preserved.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of LCAX350-56-6 affect its performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration does not affect component performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical function. Bulk packaging is a supply and handling consideration only.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both LCAX350-56H-6 and LCAX350-56-6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both parts are rated for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications.

Q: What is the stud connection size?

A: Both parts feature a 5/16 stud connection for mounting to electrical equipment and assemblies.
