LCMA240-10F-X Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA240-10F-X is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, classified within the Pan-Lug™ series. This component is a flat-sided, tubular battery lug designed for M10 stud termination with 240mm² wire gauge capacity. The terminal features crimp and flag termination methods and is constructed from copper with tin contact finish.

The LCMA240-10F-X is currently listed as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure procurement availability, and support ongoing system maintenance and repair operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMA240-10F-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M10 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 240mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Termination Method: The main part specifies both Crimp and Flag methods. Substitute parts may implement Crimp termination alone, provided all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.
• Packaging: Substitutes may differ in packaging configuration (Bulk versus other formats) without affecting functional compatibility.
• Product Status: Active status substitutes are acceptable for obsolete parts.

The LCMA240-10-X meets all mandatory matching criteria and represents a direct functional equivalent with active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA240-10-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA240-10F-X. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for stud size (M10), wire gauge (240mm²), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and terminal geometry (flat-sided, tubular battery lug configuration).

The LCMA240-10-X carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications.

The termination method difference—the main part specifies both Crimp and Flag methods while the substitute specifies Crimp only—does not constitute a functional incompatibility. The Crimp termination method is the primary electrical connection mechanism; the Flag feature on the main part represents an optional secondary attachment method. Applications requiring only crimp termination will experience no functional degradation with the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA240-10-X directly replace the LCMA240-10F-X in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical stud size (M10), wire gauge (240mm²), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and terminal type (flat-sided, tubular battery lug). The LCMA240-10-X is the active equivalent of the obsolete LCMA240-10F-X.

Q: What is the significance of the "F" designation in LCMA240-10F-X?

A: The "F" in the part number indicates the inclusion of a Flag termination feature in addition to the standard Crimp termination. The substitute part (LCMA240-10-X) implements Crimp termination, which is the primary electrical connection method. Applications not requiring the secondary Flag attachment will function identically.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the LCMA240-10F-X and LCMA240-10-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They meet identical regulatory requirements for current applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect functional compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Bulk versus other configurations) is a supply and handling consideration only and does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the terminal connector.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching of stud size (M10), wire gauge (240mm²), terminal type (flat-sided, tubular battery lug), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and insulation type (non-insulated). All these parameters are identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Is the LCMA240-10-X available in inventory?

A: The LCMA240-10-X is listed as active product status with 1148 pieces in new original stock, ensuring procurement availability for immediate application needs.
