Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAX650-58F-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility at 650MCM (kcmil) ensures proper current-carrying capacity and barrel dimensions for the intended conductor size. The 5/8 stud size establishes the mechanical interface requirement for mounting and connection points. Terminal type classification as rectangular tongue defines the physical form factor and contact geometry. Tab thickness of 0.300" (7.62mm) and barrel dimensions (ID: 1.050", OD: 1.350") establish the mechanical envelope and crimp interface specifications. Termination method as crimp barrel specifies the assembly process and contact retention mechanism. Contact material (copper) and finish (electro-tin) determine electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance properties. Non-insulated classification confirms the absence of insulation material. Ring ID of 0.660" (16.76mm) specifies the stud hole diameter for the connection interface.

The substitute part LCAX650-58-6 maintains equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing in product status (active versus obsolete) and mounting type specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX650-58-6 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCAX650-58F-6. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for applications in regulated industries. The electrical classification (EAR99) and tariff code (8536.90.4000) remain consistent between the main part and substitute.

The primary distinction between the two parts is the mounting type specification. The LCAX650-58F-6 includes both free hanging (in-line) and right angle mounting options, while the LCAX650-58-6 specifies free hanging (in-line) mounting only. Applications requiring right angle mounting configuration require evaluation of the mounting type difference prior to component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the LCAX650-58F-6 and LCAX650-58-6 electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components are specified for 650MCM (kcmil) wire gauge with identical barrel dimensions (ID: 1.050", OD: 1.350"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp, barrel). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The LCAX650-58F-6 is classified as obsolete. The LCAX650-58-6 is an active production part from the same manufacturer and series, providing continued availability for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility differences?

A: The mounting type differs between the two parts. The LCAX650-58F-6 supports both free hanging (in-line) and right angle configurations, while the LCAX650-58-6 is specified for free hanging (in-line) mounting only. Applications requiring right angle mounting must evaluate this difference.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCAX650-58F-6 and LCAX650-58-6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging?

A: The LCAX650-58F-6 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The LCAX650-58-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed with procurement specifications.

Q: Can the LCAX650-58-6 be used in all applications where the LCAX650-58F-6 was specified?

A: The LCAX650-58-6 is suitable for applications requiring free hanging (in-line) mounting. Applications that specifically require right angle mounting capability must evaluate alternative solutions, as the substitute part does not include this mounting option.
