Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCMA50-6F-L is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Stud/Tab Size: M6 Stud (mechanical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 50mm² (electrical capacity requirement)
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs) (form factor requirement)
• Contact Material: Copper (electrical conductivity requirement)
• Contact Finish: Tin (corrosion resistance requirement)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (design specification requirement)
• Series: Pan-Lug™ (product family requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)

The LCMA50-6-L qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all core substitution criteria. This substitute part maintains identical stud size, wire gauge capacity, terminal geometry, material composition, and regulatory compliance status. The primary distinction is product status: LCMA50-6-L is active, whereas LCMA50-6F-L is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA50-6-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA50-6F-L. Both components share identical core electrical and mechanical specifications: M6 stud interface, 50mm² wire gauge capacity, flat-sided tubular battery lug geometry, copper construction with tin finish, and non-insulated design.

The LCMA50-6-L maintains full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying all regulatory requirements applicable to the original part. The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability and long-term procurement viability.

The termination method differs between the two parts: the main part specifies both crimp and flag termination, while the substitute specifies crimp termination only. This distinction should be evaluated against specific application requirements prior to implementation.

Both parts are supplied by the same manufacturer within the same product series, ensuring design consistency and performance equivalence for applications requiring M6 stud ring terminal connectors rated for 50mm² conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA50-6-L be used as a direct replacement for LCMA50-6F-L?

A: Yes. The LCMA50-6-L meets all core substitution criteria for the LCMA50-6F-L, including stud size (M6), wire gauge (50mm²), terminal type (flat-sided tubular battery lug), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). The substitute is manufactured by the same supplier within the same product series.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The LCMA50-6F-L is obsolete, while the LCMA50-6-L is active. Additionally, the main part specifies crimp and flag termination, whereas the substitute specifies crimp termination only. The substitute provides dimensional specifications (thickness and overall length) not documented for the main part.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: No mechanical compatibility concerns exist. Both parts feature identical M6 stud interface and 0.709" (18.00mm) outer edge width. The substitute's documented thickness of 0.098" (2.49mm) and overall length of 1.831" (46.50mm) are consistent with standard Pan-Lug™ series geometry for this stud size and wire gauge combination.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The LCMA50-6-L is supplied in bulk packaging. The main part packaging specification is not documented.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCMA50-6F-L and LCMA50-6-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: Why should I select the substitute over the main part?

A: The LCMA50-6-L should be selected because the main part (LCMA50-6F-L) is obsolete. The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical performance while ensuring ongoing supply availability and manufacturer support.
