Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMA50-8H-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp
• Series: Pan-Lug™
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Stud/Tab Size: M8 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 50mm²
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The LCMA50-8H-L is identified as obsolete. The substitute part LCMA50-8-L maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability. Both components share the same base product number (LCMA) and are fully interchangeable within applications requiring M8 stud ring terminals rated for 50mm² conductors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA50-8-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMA50-8H-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for M8 stud ring terminal applications rated at 50mm² wire gauge.

Product Status Consideration: The LCMA50-8H-L is classified as obsolete, while the LCMA50-8-L maintains active product status. This distinction ensures continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming suitability for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Packaging Availability: The LCMA50-8-L is available in bulk packaging with 1,367 pieces in current inventory, compared to the obsolete LCMA50-8H-L with limited remaining stock of 666 pieces.

Selection of the LCMA50-8-L for new designs and replacement applications ensures long-term supply chain stability and regulatory compliance without modification to existing electrical or mechanical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
