Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCD6-12F-L is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate 6 AWG wire gauge to ensure proper barrel crimp engagement and electrical conductivity.

Stud Interface: The 1/2 stud mounting size must be maintained to ensure mechanical fit within the assembly.

Terminal Configuration: The rectangular tongue terminal type with two stud holes must be preserved to maintain form factor and mounting compatibility.

Electrical Properties: Contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and barrel dimensions (ID 0.220", OD 0.310") must remain consistent to preserve electrical performance and connection reliability.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination is the required connection method for wire attachment.

The LCC6-12W-L meets all these substitution criteria while offering the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC6-12W-L is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCD6-12F-L. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, terminal configuration, and barrel dimensions.

The LCC6-12W-L offers the following advantages for new designs and replacement applications:

Active Product Status: The LCC6-12W-L maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements for electronic components.

Packaging Availability: The LCC6-12W-L is available in bulk packaging with confirmed inventory of 1124 pieces in stock.

For applications currently using the LCD6-12F-L, direct substitution with the LCC6-12W-L is supported by identical electrical performance and mechanical fit characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCC6-12W-L be used as a direct replacement for the LCD6-12F-L?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), barrel dimensions, and contact specifications. The LCC6-12W-L is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The LCD6-12F-L is obsolete, while the LCC6-12W-L is an active product. The LCC6-12W-L also carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Tab thickness differs (0.120" versus 0.070"), and overall length specifications vary, but these dimensional differences do not affect functional compatibility for the core terminal application.

Q: Are the barrel crimp specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical barrel inner diameter (0.220"), outer diameter (0.310"), and ring inner diameter (0.530"), ensuring equivalent crimp performance and electrical conductivity for 6 AWG wire connections.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The LCC6-12W-L is supplied in bulk packaging with current inventory of 1124 pieces available.

Q: Do both parts meet the same electrical standards?

A: Both components are classified under the same HTSUS code (8536.90.4000) and ECCN classification (EAR99), indicating equivalent electrical component categorization. The LCC6-12W-L additionally carries ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Is the mounting configuration the same?

A: Both parts feature free hanging (in-line) mounting with two stud holes for the 1/2 stud interface, maintaining identical installation characteristics.
