Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX2-12H-E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 2 AWG
• Barrel inner diameter: 0.360" (9.14mm)
• Barrel outer diameter: 0.470" (11.94mm)
• Ring inner diameter: 0.530" (13.46mm)
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Electro-Tin

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Terminal type: Rectangular Tongue
• Stud/tab size: 1/2 Stud
• Terminal style: Two Stud Holes
• Tab thickness: 0.090" (2.29mm)
• Termination method: Crimp, Barrel

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The LCDX2-12-E qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line vs. Free Hanging In-Line 45° Angle).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX2-12-E is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCDX2-12H-E. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, barrel dimensions, ring diameter, contact material, and contact finish.

Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement activities.

Product Status Consideration: The LCDX2-12-E carries Active product status, providing assured long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the Obsolete LCDX2-12H-E.

Mounting Configuration Difference: The primary distinction between these parts is the mounting type. The LCDX2-12H-E features a 45° angle configuration, while the LCDX2-12-E is configured for standard in-line mounting. This difference must be evaluated against specific application requirements and PCB layout constraints.

Inventory Availability: The LCDX2-12-E maintains active inventory status with 782 pieces in stock, supporting immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCDX2-12-E directly replace the LCDX2-12H-E in all applications?

A: The LCDX2-12-E is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCDX2-12H-E across all critical parameters. However, the mounting configuration differs: the LCDX2-12H-E includes a 45° angle mounting feature, while the LCDX2-12-E is standard in-line. Application compatibility depends on whether the 45° angle is a functional requirement or a design preference.

Q: What wire gauge does the LCDX2-12-E support?

A: The LCDX2-12-E is rated for 2 AWG wire gauge, matching the LCDX2-12H-E specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the LCDX2-12H-E and LCDX2-12-E are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the barrel diameter specification for the LCDX2-12-E?

A: The LCDX2-12-E has a barrel inner diameter of 0.360" (9.14mm) and outer diameter of 0.470" (11.94mm), identical to the LCDX2-12H-E.

Q: What packaging format is available for the LCDX2-12-E?

A: The LCDX2-12-E is supplied in Bulk packaging, as opposed to the unspecified packaging of the obsolete LCDX2-12H-E.
