Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LCBX1-12-X has one identified equivalent substitute: LCAX1-12-X. This substitution is valid based on the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Wire gauge specification: 1 AWG
• Stud/tab size: 1/2 Stud
• Terminal type: Rectangular Tongue
• Terminal style: Single Stud Hole
• Termination method: Crimp, Barrel
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Electro-Tin
• Insulation type: Non-Insulated
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The LCAX1-12-X is an active product from the same manufacturer series (Pan-Lug™), providing functional and electrical equivalence for direct substitution in applications currently specified for the LCBX1-12-X.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX1-12-X is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCBX1-12-X. Selection of the LCAX1-12-X is appropriate for the following reasons:

1. Product Status: The LCAX1-12-X maintains active production status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete LCBX1-12-X.

2. Functional Equivalence: Both parts share identical specifications for wire gauge (1 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (Rectangular Tongue), and termination method (Crimp, Barrel), ensuring direct functional compatibility.

3. Regulatory Compliance: The LCAX1-12-X maintains ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements equivalent to the original part.

4. Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the same Pan-Lug™ series, ensuring consistent quality standards and design compatibility.

5. Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: All critical electrical parameters (contact material, contact finish, insulation type) and mechanical parameters (mounting type, terminal style) are identical between the two parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCAX1-12-X be used as a direct replacement for LCBX1-12-X in existing designs?

A: Yes. The LCAX1-12-X is functionally equivalent to the LCBX1-12-X across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, terminal type, and termination method. Direct substitution is appropriate for applications currently specified for the LCBX1-12-X.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the LCBX1-12-X?

A: The LCBX1-12-X is classified as obsolete. The LCAX1-12-X is the active equivalent part from Panduit Corp, ensuring continued availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts utilize identical contact material (Copper), contact finish (Electro-Tin), and insulation specifications (Non-Insulated), ensuring equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCBX1-12-X and LCAX1-12-X are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format for the LCAX1-12-X?

A: The LCAX1-12-X is supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the original LCBX1-12-X packaging format.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: The LCAX1-12-X provides complete dimensional specifications (tab thickness, overall length, outer width, barrel diameters, and ring ID), while the LCBX1-12-X does not specify these dimensions in available documentation. Both parts maintain the same terminal configuration and mounting type, ensuring mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for these terminals?

A: Both parts are specified for 1 AWG wire gauge applications with a 1/2 stud configuration, providing identical current-carrying capacity and connection reliability.
