LCMA35-12F-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA35-12F-C is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for M12 stud applications with 35mm² wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as a flat-sided, tubular battery lug terminal with crimp and flag 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 LCMA35-12F-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M12 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 35mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp
• RoHS and REACH Compliance Status

Acceptable Variation: The LCMA35-12F-C includes both crimp and flag termination with right-angle mounting. The substitute part LCMA35-12-C provides crimp termination with free-hanging, in-line mounting. This represents a functional alternative where the flag termination feature is removed and mounting orientation differs, while all electrical and mechanical core specifications remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA35-12-C serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete LCMA35-12F-C. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical core specifications: M12 stud compatibility, 35mm² wire gauge capacity, copper construction with tin finish, and full ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

The primary difference lies in termination configuration and mounting orientation. The main part includes a flag termination feature with right-angle mounting capability, while the substitute provides standard crimp termination with in-line mounting. Applications requiring the specific flag termination or right-angle mounting geometry must evaluate whether the substitute's in-line, crimp-only configuration meets functional requirements.

The LCMA35-12-C is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications where the mounting and termination differences are compatible with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA35-12-C directly replace LCMA35-12F-C in all applications?

A: Both parts share identical stud size (M12), wire gauge (35mm²), contact material (copper), and finish (tin). The LCMA35-12-C lacks the flag termination feature and uses in-line mounting instead of right-angle. Compatibility depends on whether your application requires the flag termination and right-angle orientation. If your design accommodates crimp-only termination and in-line mounting, direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the significance of the flag termination on the LCMA35-12F-C?

A: The flag termination provides an additional mechanical feature for specific assembly or retention requirements. The LCMA35-12-C provides standard crimp termination without this feature. Determine whether your application requires this specific termination style.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The LCMA35-12F-C packaging specification is not provided in available data. The LCMA35-12-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both LCMA35-12F-C and LCMA35-12-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance for applications subject to these standards.

Q: Why is the LCMA35-12F-C listed as obsolete?

A: The LCMA35-12F-C is no longer in active production. The LCMA35-12-C represents the current active alternative within the Pan-Lug™ series for this stud size and wire gauge combination.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The LCMA35-12-C specifies a thickness of 0.059" (1.50mm) and overall length of 1.890" (48.01mm). The LCMA35-12F-C dimensional data for these parameters is not provided. The outer edge width is identical at 0.846" (21.49mm) for both parts.
