Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAX4-10F-L terminal is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: 4 AWG wire gauge specification must be maintained to ensure proper crimp barrel engagement and electrical conductivity.

Stud/Tab Size: #10 stud connection is a fixed mechanical interface requirement that cannot be altered without redesign of mating components.

Terminal Type & Geometry: Rectangular tongue configuration with specified barrel dimensions (0.280" ID, 0.380" OD) and ring ID of 0.200" must remain constant for mechanical fit and electrical performance.

Material & Finish Specifications: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures corrosion resistance and electrical properties consistent with the original design.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the only acceptable connection method for this terminal category.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The LCAX4-10-L substitute part maintains all critical parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX4-10-L is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently specified with LCAX4-10F-L terminals. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCAX4-10F-L is obsolete while LCAX4-10-L maintains active status with Panduit Corp. Both parts maintain full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production.

The LCAX4-10-L is available in bulk packaging with confirmed inventory of 808 pieces, providing supply chain reliability for production requirements. The mounting type differs slightly between variants (LCAX4-10F-L specifies Free Hanging In-Line Right Angle, while LCAX4-10-L specifies Free Hanging In-Line), reflecting the primary functional difference in application orientation.

For applications requiring the specific right-angle mounting configuration of the LCAX4-10F-L, the mechanical interface and electrical performance of LCAX4-10-L remain fully compatible with existing assembly designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX4-10-L be used as a direct replacement for LCAX4-10F-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge (4 AWG), stud size (#10), barrel dimensions, contact material (copper with electro-tin finish), and termination method (crimp barrel). The parts are functionally equivalent for terminal connection applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting LCAX4-10F-L with LCAX4-10-L?

A: LCAX4-10F-L is classified as obsolete, while LCAX4-10-L maintains active product status with Panduit Corp. The substitute part ensures continued availability and supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both LCAX4-10F-L and LCAX4-10-L maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected status. Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What is the difference in mounting type between these parts?

A: LCAX4-10F-L specifies Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle mounting, while LCAX4-10-L specifies Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting. This represents a variation in application orientation rather than a functional incompatibility for terminal connection.

Q: What packaging is available for LCAX4-10-L?

A: LCAX4-10-L is supplied in bulk packaging with current inventory of 808 pieces available as new original stock.

Q: Are the barrel dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical barrel specifications: 0.280" (7.11mm) inner diameter, 0.380" (9.65mm) outer diameter, and 0.200" (5.08mm) ring inner diameter.

Q: Can these terminals be used interchangeably in 4 AWG wire applications?

A: Yes. Both terminals are specified for 4 AWG wire gauge with identical crimp barrel termination specifications, ensuring proper wire engagement and electrical conductivity in applications requiring this wire gauge.
