Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCMA16-10H-C is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M10 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 16mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation Type: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Lug™

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) configurations with or without 45° angle specification
• Packaging: Bulk or standard packaging formats
• Product Status: Active status preferred for ongoing availability

The substitute part LCMA16-10H-C shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part across all critical parameters. The primary distinction lies in product status classification and packaging configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: LCMA16-10-C

The LCMA16-10-C is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA16-10H-C. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: M10 stud connection, 16mm² wire gauge, flat-sided tubular terminal type, crimp termination, copper construction with tin finish, and non-insulated configuration.

The LCMA16-10-C carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The LCMA16-10-C is available in bulk packaging with 1128 pieces in current inventory, providing superior supply availability compared to the obsolete LCMA16-10H-C.

The mounting type specification differs between the two parts: the LCMA16-10H-C specifies 45° angle configuration, while the LCMA16-10-C specifies standard free-hanging in-line mounting. This distinction requires verification against specific application requirements to confirm compatibility with existing mechanical assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA16-10-C directly replace LCMA16-10H-C in all applications?

A: The LCMA16-10-C matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the LCMA16-10H-C, including stud size, wire gauge, terminal type, termination method, and contact specifications. The mounting type differs: LCMA16-10H-C specifies 45° angle configuration while LCMA16-10-C specifies standard free-hanging in-line mounting. Compatibility depends on whether the application requires the 45° angle specification or can accommodate standard in-line mounting.

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

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: M10 stud size, 16mm² wire gauge, flat-sided tubular terminal type, crimp termination method, copper contact material, tin contact finish, non-insulated configuration, and Pan-Lug™ series classification. Variations in mounting type and packaging do not prevent substitution if the application mechanical requirements are satisfied.

Q: Why is the LCMA16-10H-C listed as obsolete?

A: The LCMA16-10H-C carries obsolete product status as designated by Panduit Corp. The LCMA16-10-C provides equivalent functionality with active product status and ongoing supply availability.

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

A: The LCMA16-10H-C packaging specification is not provided in available documentation. The LCMA16-10-C is supplied in bulk packaging format. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Both LCMA16-10H-C and LCMA16-10-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: LCMA16-10H-C has 751 pieces in current stock. LCMA16-10-C has 1128 pieces in current stock, providing greater supply availability for new applications and ongoing requirements.
