LCB3/0-12H-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCB3/0-12H-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 3/0 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/2 stud connection. This component is classified as a Pan-Lug™ series terminal and features crimp barrel termination with electro-tin contact finish on copper material. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCB3/0-12H-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge (3/0 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), tab thickness (0.130"), barrel dimensions (ID 0.510", OD 0.640"), ring ID (0.530"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and insulation type (non-insulated) must remain identical across all substitute parts.

The LCB3/0-12-X qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status and mounting configuration. The LCB3/0-12H-X incorporates a 45° angle mounting feature and is designated as obsolete. The LCB3/0-12-X maintains free hanging in-line mounting without the 45° angle specification and carries active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCB3/0-12-X serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete LCB3/0-12H-X. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, and contact properties. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications.

The primary consideration in component selection relates to mounting configuration. The LCB3/0-12H-X incorporates a 45° angle mounting feature, while the LCB3/0-12-X provides standard free hanging in-line mounting. Applications requiring the 45° angle orientation must evaluate whether the standard in-line configuration of the substitute part accommodates the mechanical layout requirements of the assembly.

The LCB3/0-12-X is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production due to its active product status and continued availability. For legacy systems currently utilizing the LCB3/0-12H-X, the LCB3/0-12-X provides functional equivalence provided mounting geometry permits the elimination of the 45° angle feature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the LCB3/0-12H-X and LCB3/0-12-X electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical wire gauge (3/0 AWG), barrel dimensions (0.510" ID, 0.640" OD), ring ID (0.530"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp barrel). Electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: The LCB3/0-12H-X includes a 45° angle mounting feature and is classified as obsolete. The LCB3/0-12-X provides standard free hanging in-line mounting and maintains active product status. All other specifications remain identical.

Q: Can I use the LCB3/0-12-X as a direct replacement for the LCB3/0-12H-X?

A: Substitution is possible when the application does not require the 45° angle mounting orientation. The mechanical layout of the assembly must accommodate the standard in-line mounting configuration of the substitute part.

Q: What packaging is available for the LCB3/0-12-X?

A: The LCB3/0-12-X is supplied in bulk packaging, with 768 pieces currently in stock.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LCB3/0-12H-X and LCB3/0-12-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What wire gauge do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both terminals are rated for 3/0 AWG wire gauge with a 1/2 stud connection.

Q: Is insulation included with these terminals?

A: No. Both the LCB3/0-12H-X and LCB3/0-12-X are non-insulated terminals.
