Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCMA10-5H-C is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M5 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™
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected

The LCMA10-5H-C differs from active alternatives primarily in mounting configuration (45° Angle vs. standard Free Hanging In-Line) and specific dimensional tolerances. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across all core functional parameters while offering active product status and current manufacturing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA10-5-C serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete LCMA10-5H-C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical functional parameters: M5 stud connection, 10mm² wire gauge capacity, copper-tin construction, and crimp termination methodology. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing and deployment.

The primary distinction between these parts is mounting configuration. The LCMA10-5H-C incorporates a 45° angle mounting feature, while the LCMA10-5-C provides standard free-hanging in-line orientation. Dimensional variations are minimal, with outer edge width differing by 0.001" (0.02mm) and complete dimensional specifications provided for the active substitute.

For applications requiring the 45° angle mounting characteristic of the LCMA10-5H-C, dimensional and mechanical compatibility assessment is necessary. For standard in-line applications, the LCMA10-5-C provides direct functional substitution with the advantage of active product status and current manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA10-5-C directly replace the LCMA10-5H-C in all applications?

A: The LCMA10-5-C matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the LCMA10-5H-C, including stud size, wire gauge, contact material, and termination method. The primary difference is mounting orientation: the LCMA10-5H-C features 45° angle mounting while the LCMA10-5-C provides standard free-hanging in-line configuration. Substitution is appropriate for applications where mounting angle is not a design constraint.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: M5 stud size, 10mm² wire gauge, flat-sided tubular terminal type, crimp termination, copper-tin contact construction, non-insulated configuration, and Pan-Lug™ series designation. All substitute parts must maintain these specifications and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

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

A: Product status reflects manufacturing and distribution decisions by Panduit Corp. The LCMA10-5-C provides equivalent functionality with active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 646 pieces available for the LCMA10-5-C, compared to 820 pieces for the obsolete LCMA10-5H-C.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the LCMA10-5H-C and LCMA10-5-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

Q: What is the significance of the dimensional specifications provided for the LCMA10-5-C?

A: Complete dimensional data (thickness 0.047", length 1.213", width 0.434") enables precise mechanical integration assessment. The LCMA10-5H-C lacks published dimensional specifications, making the LCMA10-5-C data essential for design verification and physical compatibility confirmation.
