LCMA35-8F-C Ring Terminal Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA35-8F-C is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for M8 stud applications with 35mm² wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as a flat-sided, tubular battery lug with crimp and flag termination. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components for ongoing procurement and system maintenance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMA35-8F-C is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Wire Gauge: 35mm²
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Variable Parameter (Substitution Basis):

• Stud/Tab Size: The LCMA35-8F-C uses M8 stud configuration. Substitute parts may utilize different stud sizes (M10, M12, etc.) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics, provided the application permits stud size variation.

The LCMA35-10-C qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all mandatory matching parameters while differing only in stud size (M10 versus M8), which is an application-dependent variable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA35-10-C is available as an active product with current inventory (752 pieces in stock), whereas the LCMA35-8F-C is obsolete. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

Selection between these components depends on stud size compatibility within the target application. The M8 stud configuration of the LCMA35-8F-C differs from the M10 stud of the LCMA35-10-C. All other electrical and mechanical characteristics remain equivalent, including wire gauge capacity (35mm²), contact material (copper with tin finish), and terminal geometry (flat-sided, tubular battery lug configuration).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA35-10-C directly replace the LCMA35-8F-C?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application hardware accommodates M10 stud connections. The LCMA35-10-C maintains identical wire gauge capacity, contact material, contact finish, and terminal type. The stud size difference (M10 versus M8) is the only variable parameter.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status of LCMA35-8F-C?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by Panduit Corp. The LCMA35-10-C, classified as active, represents the current product line equivalent within the Pan-Lug™ series for 35mm² wire gauge applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the LCMA35-8F-C and LCMA35-10-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the termination specifications?

A: The LCMA35-8F-C specifies crimp and flag termination, while the LCMA35-10-C specifies crimp termination. Both employ the same fundamental crimp connection method. The flag feature on the LCMA35-8F-C is an additional mechanical element not present on the LCMA35-10-C.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: The outer edge width is identical at 0.610" (15.49mm) for both parts. The LCMA35-10-C has documented thickness (0.081" / 2.05mm) and overall length (1.654" / 42.00mm) specifications. Stud size variation (M8 to M10) affects the mounting interface but not the wire termination interface.

Q: What packaging is available?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory for LCMA35-10-C is 752 pieces.
