LCDX450-12H-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCDX450-12H-6 is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 450MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with a 1/2 stud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure ongoing availability for new installations and maintenance applications. The terminal features a two stud hole design with electro-tin contact finish and copper base material, suitable for crimp barrel termination in non-insulated configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX450-12H-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Pan-Lug™ series. The substitute part LCDX450-12-6 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: wire gauge (450MCM), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.260"), outer width (1.700"), termination method (crimp barrel), contact finish (electro-tin), contact material (copper), and all barrel and ring diameter specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is the mounting type and product status. The LCDX450-12H-6 features a 45° angle mounting configuration and is obsolete, while the LCDX450-12-6 is configured for free hanging in-line mounting and maintains active product status. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX450-12-6 serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCDX450-12H-6 for 450MCM rectangular tongue terminal applications. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud configuration, barrel dimensions, and contact properties.

The LCDX450-12-6 is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The component maintains full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements equivalent to the original part.

The primary design consideration is the mounting configuration difference: the LCDX450-12-6 features standard free hanging in-line mounting without the 45° angle orientation of the original part. This distinction must be evaluated against specific application requirements and mechanical layout constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the LCDX450-12H-6 and LCDX450-12-6 electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components are specified for 450MCM wire gauge with identical barrel inner diameter (0.920"), barrel outer diameter (1.190"), and ring inner diameter (0.530"). The electro-tin contact finish and copper base material are identical, ensuring equivalent electrical performance in crimp barrel termination applications.

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

A: The LCDX450-12H-6 features a 45° angle mounting configuration and is classified as obsolete. The LCDX450-12-6 is configured for free hanging in-line mounting and maintains active product status. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can the LCDX450-12-6 replace the LCDX450-12H-6 in existing installations?

A: Substitution is mechanically feasible when the application does not require the 45° angle mounting orientation. The electrical and mechanical interface specifications are identical. Application-specific mounting geometry must be evaluated to confirm compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The LCDX450-12H-6 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The LCDX450-12-6 maintains active status, ensuring ongoing production, consistent supply, and long-term component availability for procurement and maintenance applications.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LCDX450-12H-6 and LCDX450-12-6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying equivalent regulatory requirements for environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The LCDX450-12H-6 packaging specification is not provided. The LCDX450-12-6 is available in bulk packaging. Specific packaging requirements should be confirmed with the supplier for procurement planning.
