Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LCMA630-12-1 shares a common base product number (LCMA) with the substitute part LCMA630-16-1, establishing direct product family lineage. Substitution validity is determined by the following criteria:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Manufacturer consistency (Panduit Corp)
• Base product series alignment (LCMA)
• Regulatory compliance equivalence (ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.90.4000)
• Contact material specification (Copper)
• Terminal connector classification (Rectangular/Ring Terminal)
• Termination method (Crimp)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging/In-Line)

The LCMA630-16-1 represents an active product variant within the same product family, offering functional continuity for applications requiring copper compression terminal connectors with metric specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LCMA630-16-1 as Primary Substitute:

The LCMA630-16-1 is the designated substitute for the obsolete LCMA630-12-1. Selection of this part is supported by:

• Product Status Alignment: The LCMA630-16-1 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support from Panduit Corp.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 classification, and HTSUS coding, satisfying environmental and trade regulatory requirements.
• Material Specification: Copper contact material with tin finish in the substitute part provides equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.
• Termination Consistency: Both parts utilize crimp termination methodology, maintaining process compatibility with existing assembly procedures.
• Series Continuity: The LCMA630-16-1 belongs to the Pan-Lug™ series, representing the current product line evolution within the LCMA base product family.

The primary distinction between these parts resides in stud size specification (M12 versus M16), which must be evaluated against application-specific mounting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the LCMA630-12-1 being discontinued?

A: The LCMA630-12-1 is classified as obsolete. The LCMA630-16-1 represents the active equivalent within the current Panduit Corp product portfolio for copper compression metric lug terminals.

Q: Are the LCMA630-12-1 and LCMA630-16-1 directly interchangeable?
