LCD6-12-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCD6-12-L is a copper compression lug terminal manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for electrical connections requiring a rectangular tongue configuration with a 1/2 stud mounting interface. This component is classified as a two-hole rectangular tongue terminal suitable for 6 AWG wire gauge applications with crimp barrel termination. The LCD6-12-L is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Wire gauge: 6 AWG (determines current-carrying capacity and barrel dimensions)
• Stud/tab size: 1/2 Stud (determines mounting interface compatibility)
• Barrel inner diameter: 0.220" (5.59mm) (ensures proper wire seating)
• Barrel outer diameter: 0.310" (7.87mm) (maintains consistent crimp geometry)
• Ring inner diameter: 0.530" (13.46mm) (ensures stud compatibility)
• Contact material: Copper with electro-tin finish (maintains electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Terminal type: Rectangular tongue (determines connector geometry)
• Terminal style: Two stud holes (determines mounting configuration)
• Termination method: Crimp, barrel (determines assembly process compatibility)
• Insulation: Non-insulated (determines application environment)
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line) (determines installation method)

The substitute part LCC6-12W-L meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for direct substitution with the obsolete LCD6-12-L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC6-12W-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCD6-12-L based on the following factors:

Product Status: The LCD6-12-L is obsolete, while the LCC6-12W-L maintains active product status with current manufacturing and availability.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both terminals share identical wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (1/2), barrel dimensions (ID 0.220", OD 0.310"), ring diameter (0.530"), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp, barrel). These parameters ensure functional interchangeability in electrical connections.

Compliance and Certifications: The LCC6-12W-L carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Physical Dimensions: The LCC6-12W-L exhibits minor dimensional variations in tab thickness (0.070" versus 0.120") and overall length (3.970" versus 3.990"), which remain within acceptable tolerances for mounting and electrical performance in standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCC6-12W-L directly replace the LCD6-12-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both terminals share identical electrical specifications including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, and contact materials. The minor differences in tab thickness and overall length do not affect electrical performance or mechanical mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the tab thickness difference between these parts?

A: The LCD6-12-L has a tab thickness of 0.120" while the LCC6-12W-L has 0.070". This difference reflects design optimization in the active substitute part. Both thicknesses are structurally adequate for the 1/2 stud mounting interface and 6 AWG wire gauge application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the LCD6-12-L and LCC6-12W-L?

A: The LCD6-12-L is listed with unspecified packaging, while the LCC6-12W-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement quantities and handling procedures may differ accordingly.

Q: Does the LCC6-12W-L meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The LCC6-12W-L is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (1/2), barrel inner diameter (0.220"), barrel outer diameter (0.310"), ring inner diameter (0.530"), terminal type (rectangular tongue), terminal style (two stud holes), and termination method (crimp, barrel).

Q: Is the LCC6-12W-L available in the same color as the LCD6-12-L?

A: Yes. Both terminals are blue, maintaining visual consistency in component identification and assembly documentation.
