LCB8-10F-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCB8-10F-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 8 AWG wire applications with a #10 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute parts for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The terminal features a non-insulated design with electro-tin contact finish and copper base material, suitable for crimp barrel termination in free-hanging, right-angle mounting configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCB8-10F-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: 8 AWG wire gauge is the primary electrical parameter defining terminal selection.

Stud/Tab Size: #10 stud connection point is mandatory for mechanical compatibility with mating components.

Terminal Geometry: Rectangular tongue configuration with specified tab thickness (0.080"), width (0.410"), and barrel dimensions (ID 0.180", OD 0.270") must remain constant.

Contact Properties: Electro-tin finish on copper material ensures electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the required connection technique.

Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging, in-line mounting orientation is the functional requirement.

The substitute part LCB8-10-L maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in overall length specification and mounting type designation (in-line versus in-line/right-angle), representing a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LCB8-10F-L and LCB8-10-L are classified as obsolete products. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering criteria:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Electrical Equivalence: Identical wire gauge (8 AWG), stud size (#10), barrel dimensions, and contact material specifications ensure electrical performance parity.

Mechanical Compatibility: Matching tab thickness, width, and mounting hole diameter (ring ID 0.200") confirm mechanical interchangeability in existing assemblies.

Availability: The LCB8-10-L substitute maintains current inventory (839 pcs) compared to the main part (906 pcs), providing procurement flexibility.

Mounting Configuration: The LCB8-10-L is specified for free-hanging, in-line mounting, while the LCB8-10F-L includes right-angle capability. Application-specific mounting requirements determine final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCB8-10-L be used as a direct replacement for LCB8-10F-L?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 8 AWG wire gauge, #10 stud connection, 0.080" tab thickness, 0.410" width, and barrel dimensions. The primary difference is mounting type designation.

Q: What is the significance of the "F" designation in LCB8-10F-L?

A: The "F" indicates right-angle mounting capability in addition to in-line configuration. The LCB8-10-L substitute is specified for in-line mounting only. Application requirements determine whether this difference is functionally relevant.

Q: Are these parts suitable for new designs?

A: Both parts are classified as obsolete. New designs should evaluate current production alternatives within the Pan-Lug™ series or equivalent terminal families from Panduit Corp.

Q: Do these terminals require insulation?

A: No. Both parts are non-insulated rectangular tongue terminals. Insulation, if required, must be applied separately or sourced as pre-insulated variants.

Q: What wire sizes are compatible with these terminals?

A: These terminals are specified exclusively for 8 AWG wire gauge. Other wire gauges require different terminal part numbers.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both LCB8-10F-L and LCB8-10-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.

Q: What termination equipment is required?

A: Both parts utilize crimp barrel termination. Standard barrel crimp tools rated for 8 AWG wire and 0.180" barrel ID are required.

Q: Can these terminals be used in high-vibration applications?

A: Crimp barrel termination provides secure mechanical connection suitable for standard industrial applications. Application-specific vibration analysis is required for critical environments.
