LCMC240-14-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMC240-14-6 is a terminal connector rectangular ring with tubular design manufactured by Panduit Corp. This component is rated for 240mm² wire gauge and features an M14 stud configuration with two stud holes. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across critical parameters including wire gauge, barrel dimensions, and termination method.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMC240-14-6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 240mm² (electrical capacity requirement)
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel (assembly process compatibility)
• Barrel ID: 0.819" (20.80mm) (conductor fit specification)
• Barrel OD: 1.024" (26.01mm) (tooling and assembly compatibility)
• Contact Material: Copper (electrical conductivity)
• Contact Finish: Tin (corrosion resistance and solderability)
• Terminal Type: Ring, Tubular (mechanical form factor)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (installation configuration)

Functional Differences Permitting Substitution: The LCMC240-00-6 substitute part differs in terminal style configuration (no stud hole versus two stud holes) and stud/tab size specification. These differences do not affect the core electrical function of the terminal connector when the mounting application does not require the stud hole feature. The substitute maintains all critical barrel dimensions, wire gauge capacity, and termination characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: LCMC240-00-6

The LCMC240-00-6 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete LCMC240-14-6. This substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for 240mm² wire gauge termination applications. Both parts share identical barrel dimensions, contact materials, contact finish, and termination methodology.

Compliance and Status Considerations:

• The LCMC240-00-6 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support
• Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• The substitute is available in bulk packaging with 915 units in current inventory

Application Compatibility: Selection of the LCMC240-00-6 substitute is appropriate for applications where the terminal stud hole configuration is not a functional requirement. The absence of stud holes in the substitute part does not affect electrical performance or barrel crimp compatibility. The minor tab thickness variation (0.209" to 0.205") remains within functional tolerance for the terminal connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary reason the LCMC240-14-6 requires a substitute?

A: The LCMC240-14-6 is classified as obsolete. The LCMC240-00-6 is the active equivalent part that maintains all critical electrical and mechanical specifications for 240mm² wire gauge terminal applications.

Q: Are the barrel dimensions identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both the LCMC240-14-6 and LCMC240-00-6 feature identical barrel inner diameter (0.819" / 20.80mm) and outer diameter (1.024" / 26.01mm), ensuring compatibility with standard crimping tools and conductor sizing.

Q: What is the functional difference between these two parts?

A: The LCMC240-14-6 includes two stud holes configured for M14 stud mounting, while the LCMC240-00-6 has no stud hole configuration. Both parts function identically as ring terminals for 240mm² conductors when stud hole mounting is not required.

Q: Can the LCMC240-00-6 be used in applications originally designed for the LCMC240-14-6?

A: The LCMC240-00-6 is compatible with applications where the stud hole feature is not a functional requirement. If the original application requires M14 stud hole mounting, alternative parts with stud hole configurations must be evaluated.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes the same?

A: Yes. Both parts feature copper contact material with tin finish, providing identical electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Q: What is the wire gauge capacity for both parts?

A: Both the LCMC240-14-6 and LCMC240-00-6 are rated for 240mm² wire gauge with crimp barrel termination.

Q: Is the LCMC240-00-6 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The LCMC240-00-6 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The LCMC240-00-6 is available in bulk packaging with 915 units currently in inventory.
