Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration:

The LCB4/0-12WF-X is classified as obsolete and no longer supported by the manufacturer for new designs or long-term supply assurance. While current inventory remains available (1123 Pcs), the transition to the active LCA4/0-12F-X is recommended for applications requiring sustained component availability and manufacturer support.

Compliance and Certification:

The substitute part LCA4/0-12F-X carries active compliance certifications including RoHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements. The ECCN classification of EAR99 provides standard export control compliance for commercial applications.

Supply Chain Continuity:

Selection of the LCA4/0-12F-X ensures access to an active product line (Pan-Lug™ series) with ongoing manufacturer support, technical documentation, and predictable long-term availability. This substitution maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility while establishing supply chain resilience.
