Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCC300-12WH-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must support 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit within the barrel crimp area.

Stud Configuration: The 1/2 stud size must be maintained to ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware and electrical connections in the target application.

Terminal Geometry: The rectangular tongue terminal type with two stud holes defines the mechanical interface and must remain constant across substitutions.

Electrical Properties: Contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and non-insulated construction must be preserved to maintain electrical performance and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Mechanical Dimensions: Tab thickness (0.160"), barrel inner diameter (0.650"), barrel outer diameter (0.810"), and ring inner diameter (0.530") establish the physical interface requirements and must match exactly.

Termination Method: Crimp and barrel termination methodology must be identical to ensure compatibility with existing crimping equipment and procedures.

The substitute part LCC300-12W-X meets all these criteria while offering the advantage of active product status and bulk packaging availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC300-12W-X is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCC300-12WH-X. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility. The substitute part maintains full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: LCC300-12W-X is currently active in production with documented inventory availability (687 pieces), whereas LCC300-12WH-X is obsolete. The substitute part is packaged in bulk format, which may require adjustment to existing procurement workflows depending on application volume requirements.

The mounting type specification differs between the two parts: the main part specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line), 45° Angle" while the substitute specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)" without the 45° angle designation. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for applications where the terminal is used in standard in-line configurations. Applications requiring the specific 45° angle orientation should evaluate this distinction against actual installation requirements.

Both parts share the same base product number (LCC300), confirming their functional equivalence within the Pan-Lug™ series product family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCC300-12W-X be used as a direct replacement for LCC300-12WH-X?

A: Yes. The LCC300-12W-X meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. Both components support 300MCM wire gauge, feature identical 1/2 stud configuration, matching barrel dimensions, and equivalent contact materials and finishes. The substitute part is currently in active production status.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting type difference between the two parts?

A: The main part specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line), 45° Angle" while the substitute specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)". This indicates the main part may have been designed with a 45° angle feature. For applications requiring standard in-line mounting without specific angle requirements, this difference does not affect compatibility. Applications with specific angle requirements should verify installation geometry against actual application needs.

Q: Are there compliance differences between LCC300-12WH-X and LCC300-12W-X?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected classification. Both are assigned the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000), confirming regulatory equivalence.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The main part LCC300-12WH-X is listed with packaging designation "-" (not specified), while the substitute LCC300-12W-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging may affect order quantities and storage requirements. Verify bulk packaging specifications against procurement requirements for your application.

Q: Are the overall length specifications important for substitution?

A: The main part does not specify overall length, while the substitute lists 5.720" (145.29mm). This dimension does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard terminal applications. The overall length specification for the substitute part provides dimensional reference for installation planning and clearance verification.

Q: What wire gauge applications are supported by these terminals?

A: Both LCC300-12WH-X and LCC300-12W-X are rated for 300MCM (kcmil) wire gauge. This specification determines the current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit of the crimp barrel. Do not use these terminals with wire gauges outside this specification.

Q: Can these terminals be used in insulated applications?

A: No. Both parts are specified as non-insulated terminals. Applications requiring insulation must use alternative terminal designs with insulation sleeves or insulated terminal variants from the Pan-Lug™ series.
