Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCDX4-14BF-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (4 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), terminal style (two stud holes), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and insulation classification (non-insulated). All substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within these categories to ensure functional interchangeability in the target application.

The LCDX4-14AF-L qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all specified dimensions and material properties.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX4-14AF-L is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCDX4-14BF-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1257 pieces in stock), whereas the original part is obsolete.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for applications in restricted substance environments. The electrical characteristics, dimensional tolerances, and material composition are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without circuit or assembly modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCDX4-14AF-L be used as a direct replacement for LCDX4-14BF-L?

A: Yes. The LCDX4-14AF-L is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge (4 AWG), stud size (1/4 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and dimensional specifications.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The LCDX4-14BF-L is obsolete, while the LCDX4-14AF-L is active in production. The packaging designation differs (original packaging versus bulk), but all functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. There are no differences in regulatory classification or environmental compliance between the two components.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the main part and substitute are rated for 4 AWG wire gauge with crimp barrel termination.

Q: Is the stud size identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both components feature a 1/4 inch stud connection with two stud holes in the terminal style configuration.

Q: Can these terminals be used in insulated applications?

A: No. Both the LCDX4-14BF-L and LCDX4-14AF-L are non-insulated terminals. Applications requiring insulated terminals require alternative part selection.
