LCMA10-8H-C Ring Terminal Connector M8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA10-8H-C is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for M8 stud applications with 10mm² wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as a flat-sided, tubular battery lug terminal with crimp termination. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMA10-8H-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M8 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™

The LCMA10-8H-C differs from its substitute primarily in mounting configuration and product status. The substitute part LCMA10-8C maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and standard bulk packaging availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA10-8-C serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA10-8H-C. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: M8 stud connection, 10mm² wire gauge capacity, flat-sided tubular terminal geometry, and crimp termination method.

The LCMA10-8-C is currently in active production status with 1870 units available in bulk packaging, compared to the LCMA10-8H-C which is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications.

The primary distinction between these components is the mounting configuration. The LCMA10-8H-C specifies a 45° angle mounting option, while the LCMA10-8-C is configured for standard free-hanging in-line mounting. Applications requiring the 45° angle feature should evaluate whether the standard in-line configuration of the substitute part accommodates the intended installation geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA10-8-C directly replace LCMA10-8H-C in all applications?

A: The LCMA10-8-C is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCMA10-8H-C across all critical parameters including stud size, wire gauge, terminal type, and contact specifications. The primary difference is mounting configuration: the LCMA10-8H-C includes a 45° angle option while the LCMA10-8-C is standard free-hanging in-line. Compatibility depends on whether the application requires the 45° angle feature.

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

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in the following parameters: M8 stud size, 10mm² wire gauge, flat-sided tubular terminal type, crimp termination method, copper contact material, tin contact finish, and non-insulated construction. All these parameters must match between the main part and substitute.

Q: Why is the LCMA10-8H-C listed as obsolete?

A: The LCMA10-8H-C is classified as obsolete by Panduit Corp. The LCMA10-8-C remains in active production and provides equivalent functionality for standard applications not requiring the 45° angle mounting feature.

Q: Are there compliance differences between LCMA10-8H-C and LCMA10-8-C?

A: Both parts maintain identical compliance status: ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No regulatory differences exist between these components.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The LCMA10-8-C is supplied in bulk packaging with 1870 units currently in stock. The original LCMA10-8H-C packaging specification is not provided in available documentation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: The LCMA10-8-C specifies thickness of 0.041" (1.05mm) and overall length of 1.213" (30.80mm). The LCMA10-8H-C thickness and length specifications are not provided. Both parts share identical width measurement of 0.512" (13.00mm) at the outer edges.
