LCDX6-10G-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCDX6-10G-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire gauge applications with a #10 stud connection. This component is classified as a non-insulated, crimp barrel terminal featuring electro-tin plated copper contacts. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX6-10G-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (#10), barrel inner diameter (0.220"), and ring inner diameter (0.200") must remain constant to ensure proper wire seating and electrical continuity.

Mechanical Parameters: Terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp, barrel), tab thickness (0.080"), and contact material (copper with electro-tin finish) must be identical to maintain mechanical compatibility with mating components and assembly equipment.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The LCDX6-10A-L meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent. The primary difference between the main part and substitute is overall length: the LCDX6-10G-L measures 2.690" while the LCDX6-10A-L measures 1.820". This dimensional variance does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution capability when application space permits.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX6-10A-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCDX6-10G-L. Selection of the LCDX6-10A-L is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The LCDX6-10A-L maintains active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability (971 pieces in stock), whereas the LCDX6-10G-L is obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring continued regulatory adherence in applications subject to these requirements.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and termination method. These parameters determine compatibility with mating connectors, wire crimping equipment, and circuit assembly requirements.

Dimensional Consideration: The LCDX6-10A-L is 0.870" (22.10mm) shorter in overall length than the LCDX6-10G-L. This dimensional difference must be evaluated against application-specific space constraints and mounting requirements. Where space permits, this shorter length presents no functional limitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCDX6-10A-L be used in place of the LCDX6-10G-L in all applications?

A: The LCDX6-10A-L is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCDX6-10G-L for all functional purposes. The primary consideration is the 0.870" reduction in overall length. Applications with space constraints or specific length requirements must account for this dimensional difference.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (#10), barrel inner diameter (0.220"), ring inner diameter (0.200"), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp, barrel), tab thickness (0.080"), contact material (copper), and contact finish (electro-tin). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

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

A: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected designation. No compliance or certification differences exist between the LCDX6-10G-L and LCDX6-10A-L.

Q: Why is the LCDX6-10G-L obsolete?

A: The LCDX6-10G-L is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The LCDX6-10A-L serves as the active replacement within the Pan-Lug™ series, offering identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Q: What is the packaging format for the LCDX6-10A-L?

A: The LCDX6-10A-L is supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the original LCDX6-10G-L packaging format.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or stud size variations available?

A: The substitution analysis provided covers only the 6 AWG wire gauge with #10 stud configuration. Other wire gauge or stud size combinations within the Pan-Lug™ series require separate equivalency analysis.
