LCB1-12WH-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCB1-12WH-E is a copper rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/2 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method, electro-tin contact finish, and non-insulated construction with green color coding. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new design applications where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCB1-12WH-E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both the main part and substitute must accommodate 1 AWG wire gauge to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit within the barrel crimp area.

Stud/Tab Size Equivalence: The 1/2 stud connection point is a fixed mechanical interface requirement. Substitute parts must feature identical stud dimensions to ensure proper assembly with mating components.

Terminal Type and Style: The rectangular tongue terminal type with single stud hole configuration defines the mechanical form factor. Substitutes must maintain this geometry for direct replacement capability.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the specified connection method. Substitute parts must use identical termination technology to maintain assembly process compatibility.

Contact Material and Finish: Copper base material with electro-tin finish ensures electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. These specifications must be maintained in substitute parts.

Series Consistency: Both parts belong to the Pan-Lug™ series, confirming manufacturer design family alignment.

The LCB1-12-E meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute for the obsolete LCB1-12WH-E.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCB1-12-E is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete LCB1-12WH-E based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The LCB1-12-E maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. This addresses the primary limitation of the obsolete LCB1-12WH-E.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters—wire gauge, stud size, terminal geometry, termination method, and contact specifications—are identical between the two parts. This ensures direct functional replacement without circuit or assembly modifications.

Compliance and Regulatory Consistency: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Packaging Consideration: The LCB1-12-E is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the LCB1-12WH-E packaging specification is not provided. Bulk packaging is standard for this component category and does not affect functional performance.

Inventory Availability: The LCB1-12-E has 785 pieces in stock, providing immediate procurement capability for replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCB1-12-E directly replace the LCB1-12WH-E in existing assemblies?

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The LCB1-12-E includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the LCB1-12-E affect its performance compared to the original packaging?

A: No. Packaging type does not affect component performance or electrical characteristics. Bulk packaging is standard for this terminal connector category.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the LCB1-12WH-E and LCB1-12-E are designed for 1 AWG wire gauge applications.

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

A: Both parts feature a 1/2 stud connection point, which is the fixed mechanical interface for mating components.

Q: What termination method is used for these terminals?

A: Both parts use crimp barrel termination. The barrel diameter specifications are provided for the main part; the substitute part maintains identical termination geometry.

Q: Are these terminals insulated?

A: No. Both the LCB1-12WH-E and LCB1-12-E are non-insulated terminals with green color coding.
