Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCMA10-10H-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M10 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 10mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Lug™

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected Status

The LCMA10-10C qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: LCMA10-10C is active and available, whereas LCMA10-10H-C is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA10-10-C is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA10-10H-C based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including wire gauge (10mm²), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and termination method (crimp). These parameters ensure equivalent current-carrying capacity and electrical performance in M10 stud applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both terminals feature identical stud size (M10), terminal type (flat-sided, tubular battery lug), and outer edge width (0.571" / 14.50mm). These dimensions ensure direct mechanical compatibility with existing M10 stud mounting points.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Product Status: The LCMA10-10-C is active and currently in production with confirmed inventory availability (685 pcs), whereas the LCMA10-10H-C is obsolete. Selection of the active substitute ensures long-term supply chain reliability.

Packaging Consideration: The LCMA10-10-C is supplied in bulk packaging, which may differ from the original part's packaging specification. Procurement processes should account for bulk quantity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA10-10-C be used as a direct replacement for LCMA10-10H-C?

A: Yes. The LCMA10-10-C is a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: M10 stud size, 10mm² wire gauge, flat-sided tubular terminal type, crimp termination, copper contact material with tin finish, and non-insulated construction. The primary difference is product status: LCMA10-10-C is active while LCMA10-10H-C is obsolete.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence across eight critical parameters: stud/tab size (M10), wire gauge (10mm²), terminal type (flat-sided, tubular battery lug), termination method (crimp), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), insulation type (non-insulated), and series designation (Pan-Lug™). Additionally, both parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The LCMA10-10-C provides complete dimensional specifications: thickness 0.065" (1.65mm) and overall length 1.213" (30.80mm). The LCMA10-10H-C does not specify these dimensions in available documentation. Both parts share identical outer edge width (0.571" / 14.50mm). The mounting type differs slightly: LCMA10-10H-C specifies free hanging with 45° angle, while LCMA10-10-C specifies free hanging in-line configuration.

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

A: The LCMA10-10-C is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the LCMA10-10H-C packaging specification is not provided. Bulk packaging typically requires procurement of larger quantities per unit. Verify bulk quantity requirements against application needs before ordering.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both LCMA10-10H-C and LCMA10-10-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated industries.

Q: Why is the LCMA10-10H-C listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The LCMA10-10-C remains in active production and serves the same functional requirements, making it the appropriate substitute for new designs and replacement applications.
