LCDX750-12F-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCDX750-12F-3 is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 750MCM (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 design compatibility in new procurement activities. The terminal features a two stud hole design with electro-tin contact finish and copper base material, suitable for crimp barrel termination in high-amperage electrical applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX750-12F-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate 750MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit within the barrel crimp area.

Stud Configuration: The 1/2 stud size must be maintained to ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware and electrical connections in the target application.

Terminal Geometry: The rectangular tongue terminal type with two stud holes, combined with the specified tab thickness (0.320"), width (2.170"), and barrel dimensions (ID: 1.170", OD: 1.500"), defines the mechanical interface requirements.

Electrical Properties: Contact material (copper) and contact finish (electro-tin) must remain consistent to preserve electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Regulatory Compliance: Both the main part and substitute must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status to satisfy environmental and regulatory requirements.

The LCDX750-12-3 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all critical parameters, with the primary distinction being product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX750-12-3 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCDX750-12F-3. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including wire gauge, stud configuration, terminal geometry, contact materials, and regulatory compliance certifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the LCDX750-12F-3 is classified as obsolete, while the LCDX750-12-3 maintains active status with confirmed inventory availability (1083 pieces in stock). This status difference, combined with identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, establishes the LCDX750-12-3 as the appropriate selection for new procurement activities and design continuity.

The mounting type specification shows a minor notation difference (the main part lists "Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle" while the substitute lists "Free Hanging (In-Line)"), but this does not affect functional equivalence given the identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCDX750-12-3 be used as a direct replacement for the LCDX750-12F-3?

A: Yes. The LCDX750-12-3 is a direct equivalent substitute. Both components share identical wire gauge (750MCM), stud size (1/2), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness, width, barrel dimensions, contact material, contact finish, and regulatory compliance specifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the LCDX750-12F-3?
