Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCDX4/0-12E-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 4/0 AWG
• Stud/Tab Size: 1/2 Stud
• Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Electro-Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Lug™

Allowable Variations:

• Overall length may vary within mechanical envelope constraints
• Product status may transition from obsolete to active
• Packaging configuration may differ (bulk versus other formats)

The substitute part LCDX4/0-12E-X meets all mandatory matching parameters, confirming direct functional equivalence for terminal connector applications requiring 4/0 AWG rectangular tongue connections with 1/2 stud termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX4/0-12-X serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCDX4/0-12E-X. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, contact material, and contact finish.

Status Advantage: The LCDX4/0-12-X maintains active product status, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory standards. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Dimensional Consideration: The substitute part exhibits a 0.630" (16.00mm) increase in overall length (4.510" versus 3.880"), which remains within typical mechanical envelope tolerances for free-hanging in-line terminal applications. This dimensional difference does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Compliance Alignment: Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, supporting seamless integration into existing supply chain and regulatory documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCDX4/0-12-X directly replace LCDX4/0-12E-X in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The wire gauge (4/0 AWG), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), and contact finish (electro-tin) are identical. The length difference of 0.630" does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in free-hanging in-line mounting configurations.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The LCDX4/0-12-X is the active production equivalent of the obsolete LCDX4/0-12E-X. The substitute maintains identical specifications while offering continued manufacturer support and availability. The overall length increases from 3.880" to 4.510", and packaging is specified as bulk for the substitute.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000). No additional compliance verification is required when transitioning from the obsolete to the active part.

Q: Does the length difference affect installation or performance?

A: The 0.630" length increase does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility. Installation considerations depend on specific mechanical envelope constraints within the application. The increased length provides additional material for structural support in the terminal body.

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

A: The LCDX4/0-12-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Original packaging specifications for the obsolete LCDX4/0-12E-X were not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both LCDX4/0-12E-X and LCDX4/0-12-X are manufactured by Panduit Corp and belong to the Pan-Lug™ series, ensuring consistent quality and performance standards.
