LCAX350-58F-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAX350-58F-6 is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with a 5/8 stud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

The terminal features a non-insulated copper construction with electro-tin contact finish, suitable for crimp barrel termination in free-hanging, in-line mounting configurations. The obsolete status of this part requires substitution with functionally equivalent active components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAX350-58F-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to ensure proper barrel crimp engagement and electrical conductivity.

Stud Configuration: The 5/8 stud size must be maintained to ensure mechanical compatibility with mating hardware and connection points.

Electrical Properties: Contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and barrel dimensions (ID: 0.840", OD: 1.060") must remain identical to preserve electrical performance and connection reliability.

Mechanical Dimensions: Tab thickness (0.220"), ring ID (0.660"), and width across outer edges (1.540") establish the physical envelope for mounting and connection.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination must be preserved to maintain compatibility with existing assembly processes and equipment.

The LCAX350-58-6 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all critical parameters listed above. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk versus original packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX350-58-6 is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAX350-58F-6. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine terminal functionality and compatibility.

Product Status Consideration: The LCAX350-58-6 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance maintenance. The LCAX350-58F-6 is obsolete and subject to discontinuation of supply.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing.

Packaging Difference: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part was supplied in original packaging. This distinction affects inventory management and handling procedures but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Mounting Configuration: The main part specifies both free-hanging in-line and right-angle mounting options. The substitute part specifies free-hanging in-line mounting. Applications requiring right-angle mounting must confirm compatibility with the substitute's mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX350-58-6 be used as a direct replacement for LCAX350-58F-6?

A: Yes. The LCAX350-58-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCAX350-58F-6 across all critical parameters including wire gauge (350MCM), stud size (5/8), barrel dimensions, contact material, and termination method. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete).

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The LCAX350-58F-6 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited supply availability. The LCAX350-58-6 is active, ensuring continued production, availability, and manufacturer support for compliance and technical requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LCAX350-58F-6 was supplied in original packaging, while the LCAX350-58-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the mounting type difference affect substitution?

A: The main part specifies free-hanging in-line and right-angle mounting options. The substitute specifies free-hanging in-line mounting only. Applications requiring right-angle mounting capability must confirm the substitute's mounting configuration is compatible with the intended installation.

Q: Are the barrel dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical barrel inner diameter (0.840"), outer diameter (1.060"), and ring inner diameter (0.660"), ensuring equivalent crimp engagement and electrical connection characteristics.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCAX350-58F-6 and LCAX350-58-6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What wire gauge do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both terminals are rated for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge, with identical barrel dimensions to ensure proper crimp engagement and electrical conductivity for this conductor size.
