Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAX500-58F-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate 500MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to ensure proper barrel crimp engagement and electrical conductivity.

Stud/Tab Size: The 5/8 stud dimension is a fixed mechanical interface requirement. Substitute parts must maintain this exact stud size for mounting compatibility.

Terminal Type and Termination Method: Both the main part and substitute must employ rectangular tongue configuration with crimp barrel termination to ensure functional interchangeability.

Electrical and Mechanical Dimensions: Barrel ID (1.030"), Barrel OD (1.300"), Ring ID (0.660"), and tab thickness (0.260") must remain constant across substitutes to maintain electrical performance and mechanical fit.

Material and Finish Specifications: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures consistent electrical properties and corrosion resistance across equivalent parts.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained in substitute selections.

The LCAX500-58-6 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete LCAX500-58F-6.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX500-58-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCAX500-58F-6. Both components 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The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the LCAX500-58F-6 is obsolete, while the LCAX500-58-6 maintains active production status. This transition ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for applications requiring 500MCM rectangular tongue terminals with 5/8 stud connections.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current and future applications. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging, supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCAX500-58-6 be used as a direct replacement for the LCAX500-58F-6?

A: Yes. The LCAX500-58-6 is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge (500MCM), stud size (5/8), barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The LCAX500-58F-6 is obsolete, while the LCAX500-58-6 is active. The substitute maintains identical specifications and is available in bulk packaging for continued supply chain support.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the main part and substitute?

A: No dimensional differences exist in critical parameters. Both parts feature identical tab thickness (0.260"), barrel ID (1.030"), barrel OD (1.300"), ring ID (0.660"), and outer width (1.890"). The substitute specifies an overall length of 4.200", which was not provided for the main part.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCAX500-58F-6 and LCAX500-58-6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory requirements.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both parts are rated for 500MCM (kcmil) wire gauge with crimp barrel termination.

Q: Is the substitute available in different packaging options?

A: The LCAX500-58-6 substitute is available in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications for the obsolete LCAX500-58F-6 were not provided.

Q: What is the stud connection size for this terminal?

A: Both parts feature a 5/8 stud connection, which is the fixed mechanical interface for mounting applications.

Q: Are these terminals insulated or non-insulated?

A: Both the main part and substitute are non-insulated rectangular tongue terminals with copper contact material and electro-tin finish.
