Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAX450-12H-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 450MCM (kcmil)
• Stud/tab size: 1/2 Stud
• Terminal style: Single stud hole
• Termination method: Crimp, barrel
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Electro-tin

Mechanical Parameters:

• Terminal type: Rectangular tongue
• Tab thickness: 0.260" (6.60mm)
• Barrel ID: 0.920" (23.37mm)
• Barrel OD: 1.190" (30.23mm)
• Ring ID: 0.530" (13.46mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status
• ECCN: EAR99

The substitute part LCAX450-12-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing in mounting type configuration and product status. The LCAX450-12-6 is active and available, providing functional equivalence for applications currently using the obsolete LCAX450-12H-6.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX450-12-6 serves as the functional equivalent for the obsolete LCAX450-12H-6. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 450MCM wire gauge applications with 1/2 stud termination.

Selection Basis:

The LCAX450-12-6 is recommended for new designs and replacement applications due to its active product status and continuous availability. This part maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment with current standards.

The primary distinction between the two parts is the mounting type configuration. The LCAX450-12H-6 specifies a 45° angle mounting orientation, while the LCAX450-12-6 provides standard free-hanging in-line mounting. This difference does not affect the electrical performance or mechanical compatibility of the terminal connector itself, but installation geometry must be evaluated within the specific application context.

Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging and maintain identical contact material, finish, and dimensional specifications critical to barrel crimp termination and stud connection integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX450-12-6 directly replace LCAX450-12H-6 in existing applications?

A: The LCAX450-12-6 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for 450MCM wire termination and 1/2 stud connection. The mounting type differs (45° angle versus standard in-line), which affects installation orientation but not terminal function. Physical space and mounting geometry must be confirmed for the specific application.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Wire gauge (450MCM), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.260"), barrel dimensions (0.920" ID, 1.190" OD), ring ID (0.530"), contact material (copper), and contact finish (electro-tin) must remain constant. All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Why is the LCAX450-12H-6 listed as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The LCAX450-12-6 remains active and available, providing continued access to equivalent terminal connector functionality within the Pan-Lug™ series.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No regulatory or compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting type difference?

A: The LCAX450-12H-6 specifies 45° angle mounting, while LCAX450-12-6 provides standard free-hanging in-line orientation. This affects how the terminal is physically positioned during installation but does not alter electrical performance or crimp termination characteristics.

Q: Is packaging a consideration for substitution?

A: The LCAX450-12H-6 packaging is not specified in available data. The LCAX450-12-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect terminal performance or compatibility.

Q: What wire gauge range does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both parts are rated for 450MCM (kcmil) wire gauge. This specification is fixed and not variable across the terminal series.
