Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCB1-12WF-E is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 1 AWG (electrical current capacity requirement)
• Stud/Tab Size: 1/2 Stud (mechanical connection interface)
• Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue (form factor and connection geometry)
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel (installation and assembly compatibility)
• Contact Material: Copper (electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance)
• Contact Finish: Electro-Tin (surface protection and solderability)
• Tab Thickness: 0.090" (2.29mm) (structural integrity and fit)
• Width - Outer Edges: 0.750" (19.05mm) (dimensional compatibility)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (application requirement)

The LCB1-12-E meets all these critical parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete LCB1-12WF-E.

• Packaging Flexibility: Available in bulk packaging, accommodating various procurement volumes and inventory management strategies.
• Functional Equivalence: All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical to the main part, ensuring direct interchangeability in existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCB1-12-E be used as a direct replacement for the LCB1-12WF-E?

A: Yes. The LCB1-12-E is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts share identical wire gauge (1 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), tab thickness (0.090"), and outer width (0.750"). All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the LCB1-12WF-E and LCB1-12-E?

A: The primary difference is product status. The LCB1-12WF-E is obsolete, while the LCB1-12-E is active. The LCB1-12-E also includes ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status. The mounting type differs slightly: the LCB1-12WF-E is specified as free hanging (in-line) right angle, while the LCB1-12-E is free hanging (in-line). Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for terminal connection.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LCB1-12WF-E packaging is not specified in available documentation. The LCB1-12-E is available in bulk packaging, providing flexibility for various procurement requirements and inventory management.

Q: What certifications does the substitute part carry?

A: The LCB1-12-E is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: Is the LCB1-12-E suitable for the same applications as the LCB1-12WF-E?

A: Yes. Both parts are non-insulated copper rectangular tongue terminals with identical wire gauge (1 AWG) and stud size (1/2) specifications. They are suitable for identical applications requiring crimp barrel termination on 1 AWG conductors with 1/2 stud connections.
