LCDX6-14DF-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCDX6-14DF-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire termination on a 1/4" stud. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing applications. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material suitable for electrical connectivity applications requiring non-insulated terminal construction.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX6-14DF-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: 6 AWG wire termination capacity must be maintained.

Stud/Tab Size: 1/4" stud connection point is the mechanical interface requirement.

Terminal Type and Style: Rectangular tongue configuration with two stud holes defines the form factor.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination establishes the connection mechanism.

Contact Specifications: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures electrical performance and corrosion resistance.

Mechanical Dimensions: Barrel ID (0.220"), barrel OD (0.310"), and ring ID (0.270") establish the dimensional envelope for wire and stud accommodation.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory continuity.

The LCDX6-14D-L qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical parameters listed above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX6-14D-L is the direct equivalent for the obsolete LCDX6-14DF-L. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, contact material, and contact finish.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: LCDX6-14DF-L is obsolete while LCDX6-14D-L is active. This status difference, combined with the active part's availability (859 pcs in stock versus 733 pcs for the obsolete variant), establishes LCDX6-14D-L as the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected regulatory requirements, ensuring continuity of compliance posture across substitution.

The mounting type specification differs slightly between the two parts: the main part lists "Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle" while the substitute lists "Free Hanging (In-Line)". This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard 1/4" stud mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCDX6-14D-L be used as a direct replacement for LCDX6-14DF-L?

A: Yes. The LCDX6-14D-L is a direct equivalent. Both components share identical wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (1/4"), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and all critical mechanical dimensions. The substitute is active and currently available.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from LCDX6-14DF-L to LCDX6-14D-L?

A: The LCDX6-14DF-L is classified as obsolete. The LCDX6-14D-L is the active equivalent part, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and continued manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both components feature identical contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), barrel dimensions, and ring ID specifications. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both LCDX6-14DF-L and LCDX6-14D-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining identical regulatory status.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The LCDX6-14DF-L packaging is not specified in available documentation. The LCDX6-14D-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Tab thickness (0.080"), width at outer edges (0.480"), barrel ID (0.220"), barrel OD (0.310"), and ring ID (0.270") are identical across both components.

Q: Can LCDX6-14D-L accommodate 6 AWG wire?

A: Yes. The LCDX6-14D-L is rated for 6 AWG wire termination with a crimp barrel termination method, identical to the main part specification.
