LCMA50-12F-L Ring Terminal Connector M12 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA50-12F-L is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, classified within the Pan-Lug™ series. This component is a flat-sided, tubular battery lug terminal designed for M12 stud applications with 50mm² wire gauge capacity. The terminal features crimp and flag termination methods and is constructed from copper with tin contact finish.

The LCMA50-12F-L carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing maintenance and repair operations for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCMA50-12F-L is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M12 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 50mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Width - Outer Edges: 0.906" (23.01mm)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Base Product Number: LCMA

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected Status
• ECCN: EAR99 Classification

The substitute part LCMA50-12F-L must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility across all specified parameters. Variations in termination method (crimp versus crimp with flag), mounting configuration, and product status do not preclude substitution when all other parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA50-12-L serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA50-12F-L. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: M12 stud compatibility, 50mm² wire gauge capacity, flat-sided tubular terminal geometry, copper construction with tin finish, and non-insulated configuration.

The LCMA50-12-L maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, matching the regulatory status of the original part. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the LCMA50-12F-L is obsolete, while the LCMA50-12-L is active and currently available in inventory. The LCMA50-12-L is supplied in bulk packaging and incorporates crimp termination without the flag feature present in the original part. The substitute part is available with documented inventory of 1080 pieces in new original condition.

Selection of the LCMA50-12-L eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete component sourcing while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing system designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA50-12-L directly replace the LCMA50-12F-L in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical stud size (M12), wire gauge (50mm²), terminal geometry (flat-sided tubular), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and insulation specification (non-insulated). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the flag termination in LCMA50-12F-L and the standard crimp in LCMA50-12-L?

A: The LCMA50-12F-L includes both crimp and flag termination methods, while the LCMA50-12-L provides crimp termination only. The flag feature does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with M12 stud connections.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LCMA50-12F-L and LCMA50-12-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Why is the LCMA50-12F-L listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. The LCMA50-12-L remains in active production and is the current equivalent offering from Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The LCMA50-12-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory includes 1080 pieces in new original condition.

Q: Are the dimensional specifications identical between both parts?

A: Both parts share identical width (0.906" / 23.01mm). The LCMA50-12-L specifies thickness (0.071" / 1.80mm) and overall length (1.969" / 50.00mm), which are not documented for the original part. These dimensions are consistent with standard M12 ring terminal specifications for 50mm² wire gauge.

Q: Can I use either part interchangeably in new designs?

A: The LCMA50-12-L is recommended for new designs due to active product status and current availability. The LCMA50-12F-L should be used only for replacement in existing systems where the flag termination feature is specifically required.
