LCB6-14H-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCB6-14H-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire termination onto a 1/4" stud. This component is part of the Pan-Lug™ series and features a crimp barrel termination method with electro-tin plated copper contacts. 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

The LCB6-14H-L has one identified substitute: LCB6-14-L. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (1/4"), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), tab thickness (0.080"), barrel dimensions (ID 0.220", OD 0.310"), ring ID (0.270"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and insulation type (non-insulated).

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the mounting configuration. The LCB6-14H-L features a 45° angle mounting type, while the LCB6-14-L is configured for free hanging in-line mounting without the angular offset. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, making them functionally equivalent for applications where mounting angle does not impose design constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCB6-14-L is the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCB6-14H-L. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire termination, contact interface, and regulatory compliance. The LCB6-14-L is currently in active production status with 918 units in stock, compared to the obsolete LCB6-14H-L with 1105 units remaining in inventory.

Selection between these parts depends solely on mounting orientation requirements. The LCB6-14H-L incorporates a 45° angle mounting configuration, while the LCB6-14-L provides standard free hanging in-line mounting. Applications requiring the 45° angle offset must retain the LCB6-14H-L. Applications compatible with straight in-line mounting should transition to the LCB6-14-L to ensure long-term supply availability and continued manufacturer support.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, maintaining regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCB6-14-L directly replace the LCB6-14H-L in all applications?

A: The LCB6-14-L is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCB6-14H-L for all termination and contact interface functions. Substitution is valid only when the mounting orientation difference is acceptable. The LCB6-14H-L features 45° angle mounting, while the LCB6-14-L is configured for straight in-line mounting. Applications requiring the specific 45° angle offset cannot use the LCB6-14-L as a direct replacement.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (1/4"), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), tab thickness (0.080"), barrel ID (0.220"), barrel OD (0.310"), ring ID (0.270"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and insulation type (non-insulated) must all remain constant. These parameters define the electrical and mechanical compatibility of the terminal with the wire and stud interface.

Q: Why is the LCB6-14H-L classified as obsolete?

A: The LCB6-14H-L is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The LCB6-14-L remains in active production as the current equivalent offering. For new designs and ongoing supply requirements, the LCB6-14-L is the recommended active alternative.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The LCB6-14H-L packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The LCB6-14-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both the LCB6-14H-L and LCB6-14-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, confirming regulatory alignment.

Q: What is the difference in overall length between these parts?

A: The LCB6-14-L has an overall length of 1.930" (49.02mm). The overall length specification for the LCB6-14H-L is not provided in the available data. This dimension should be confirmed if length is a critical design parameter.
