LCMA10-5F-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA10-5F-C is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for M5 stud applications with 10mm² wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as a flat-sided, tubular battery lug terminal with crimp and flag termination. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity and support ongoing applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMA10-5F-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M5 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 10mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The LCMA10-5F-C includes both crimp and flag termination methods. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility with the M5 stud interface and 10mm² wire gauge specification. Dimensional tolerances in thickness and width remain within acceptable engineering variance for this terminal category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA10-5-C serves as the active equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCMA10-5F-C. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including stud size, wire gauge, contact material, and finish. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: LCMA10-5F-C is obsolete while LCMA10-5-C is active. The LCMA10-5-C is available in bulk packaging with current inventory support. The termination method differs slightly, with LCMA10-5F-C offering both crimp and flag options while LCMA10-5-C provides crimp termination. Dimensional variance in width (0.001" difference) falls within standard manufacturing tolerance for this terminal category and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA10-5-C directly replace LCMA10-5F-C in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical stud size (M5), wire gauge (10mm²), terminal type (flat-sided tubular battery lug), contact material (copper), and contact finish (tin). Dimensional differences are within acceptable tolerance ranges for this terminal category.

Q: What is the significance of the termination method difference?

A: LCMA10-5F-C includes both crimp and flag termination capability, while LCMA10-5-C provides crimp termination only. Applications requiring flag termination exclusively should evaluate this distinction against specific assembly requirements.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both LCMA10-5F-C and LCMA10-5-C maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: LCMA10-5F-C packaging information is not specified in available data. LCMA10-5-C is supplied in bulk packaging with current inventory availability.

Q: Are dimensional differences significant for mechanical fit?

A: No. The width difference of 0.001" (0.02mm) between parts is within standard manufacturing tolerance for ring terminal connectors and does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance at the M5 stud interface.

Q: Why is LCMA10-5F-C listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer status. LCMA10-5-C represents the active alternative within the Pan-Lug™ series for this specification.
