LCAXN4/0-14-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAXN4/0-14-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 4/0 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/4 inch stud configuration. This non-insulated copper terminal features electro-tin contact finish and is rated for crimp barrel termination. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCAXN4/0-14-X is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Wire Gauge: 4/0 AWG
• Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Electro-Tin
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Tab Thickness: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Barrel ID: 0.650" (16.51mm)
• Barrel OD: 0.810" (20.57mm)

Variable Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Stud/Tab Size: Determines ring ID and overall length dimensions
• Product Status: Active alternatives preferred for obsolete parts

The LCAXN4/0-56-X qualifies as a substitute based on matching all fixed parameters while accommodating a different stud size (5/16 inch versus 1/4 inch), which is an allowable variation for applications where the stud diameter can be adapted to the mounting configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAXN4/0-56-X is the designated substitute for the obsolete LCAXN4/0-14-X based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The LCAXN4/0-56-X maintains active product status with Panduit Corp, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The original LCAXN4/0-14-X is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain risk for new applications or replacement requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing for industrial and commercial applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The substitute part preserves all critical electrical parameters including wire gauge (4/0 AWG), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and barrel dimensions (ID 0.650", OD 0.810"). The primary dimensional difference is the stud size increase from 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch, which results in a corresponding ring ID increase from 0.270" to 0.340" and overall length increase from 2.320" to 2.550".

Application Consideration: Selection of the LCAXN4/0-56-X requires confirmation that the mounting assembly accommodates the 5/16 inch stud configuration. This substitution is appropriate for applications where stud diameter flexibility exists within the design specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason the LCAXN4/0-14-X requires a substitute?

A: The LCAXN4/0-14-X is classified as obsolete by Panduit Corp. The LCAXN4/0-56-X is the active equivalent that maintains identical electrical and core mechanical specifications while ensuring ongoing product availability.

Q: Can the LCAXN4/0-56-X be used in place of the LCAXN4/0-14-X without modification?

A: The LCAXN4/0-56-X is compatible with applications designed for 4/0 AWG wire termination using crimp barrel methods. The stud size difference (5/16 inch versus 1/4 inch) requires the mounting assembly to accommodate the larger stud diameter. No modification to the terminal itself is required.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both terminals use identical copper contact material with electro-tin finish, matching barrel dimensions (ID 0.650", OD 0.810"), and identical tab thickness (0.200"). Electrical performance characteristics are equivalent for 4/0 AWG wire applications.

Q: What is the significance of the ring ID difference?

A: The ring ID increases from 0.270" (6.86mm) on the LCAXN4/0-14-X to 0.340" (8.64mm) on the LCAXN4/0-56-X, corresponding to the stud size increase from 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch. This ensures proper fit and contact pressure on the larger stud diameter.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCAXN4/0-14-X and LCAXN4/0-56-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining identical regulatory standing for industrial applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The LCAXN4/0-14-X is listed with no specified packaging designation, while the LCAXN4/0-56-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are available as new original stock from Panduit Corp.

Q: Are there any dimensional constraints that would prevent substitution?

A: The overall length increases by 0.230" (5.84mm) and the width remains constant at 0.810" (20.57mm). Applications with spatial constraints around the terminal length must accommodate this increase. The stud hole diameter in the mounting assembly must accept the 5/16 inch stud.
