Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LCMA120-14-L is substituted by the LCMA120-16-L based on the following critical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Identical base product number (LCMA) indicating same product family
• Identical wire gauge capacity (120mm²)
• Identical contact material (Copper)
• Identical termination method (Crimp)
• Identical RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant)
• Identical regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8536.90.4000)
• Active product status of substitute part ensures ongoing availability

The primary difference between these parts is the stud size: the LCMA120-14-L accommodates M14 studs, while the LCMA120-16-L accommodates M16 studs. This distinction requires verification of the target application's stud configuration before substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA120-16-L serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA120-14-L within the Panduit Pan-Lug™ series. Selection of the LCMA120-16-L is supported by:

• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Maintained ROHS3 compliance and regulatory classification (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.90.4000)
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 120mm² copper compression termination
• Tin contact finish providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to unspecified finish of the obsolete part
• Documented mechanical dimensions (Thickness: 0.134" / 3.40mm, Width: 1.083" / 27.51mm, Length: 2.559" / 65.00mm)

The critical selection factor is stud size compatibility: the M16 stud accommodation of the LCMA120-16-L must align with the target application's mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between LCMA120-14-L and LCMA120-16-L?

A: The stud size differs between these parts. The LCMA120-14-L is designed for M14 studs, while the LCMA120-16-L accommodates M16 studs. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Can LCMA120-16-L directly replace LCMA120-14-L in existing applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the target application's stud configuration is M16. If the existing installation uses M14 studs, mechanical incompatibility will result.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both LCMA120-14-L and LCMA120-16-L maintain ROHS3 compliance status.

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

A: Both parts accommodate 120mm² wire gauge, ensuring equivalent electrical performance for high-current applications.

Q: What contact material is used in these terminals?

A: Both parts utilize copper as the contact material, providing reliable electrical conductivity and compression characteristics.

Q: Is the LCMA120-16-L insulated?

A: The LCMA120-16-L is specified as non-insulated, consistent with ring terminal connector design for direct stud mounting applications.

Q: What is the termination method for these parts?

A: Both parts employ crimp termination, requiring appropriate crimping tools and procedures for wire attachment.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The LCMA120-14-L packaging is unspecified, while the LCMA120-16-L is supplied in bulk packaging.
