The LCMA6-5-C is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the LCMA6-5F-C was previously specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the LCMA6-5F-C no longer available?

A: The LCMA6-5F-C has reached obsolete status in Panduit Corp's product lifecycle. The LCMA6-5-C serves as the active equivalent within the Pan-Lug™ series.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors between LCMA6-5F-C and LCMA6-5-C?

A: Both parts share the same base product number (LCMA), manufacturer (Panduit Corp), M5 stud size, and 4.0 ~ 6.0mm² wire gauge range. The substitute maintains the same crimp termination method and copper tin-plated contact construction.

Q: Is the LCMA6-5-C available in different packaging options?

A: The LCMA6-5-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for specific application requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the terminal types listed?

A: The LCMA6-5-C is specified as a flat-sided, tubular battery lug terminal connector. This classification indicates the physical form factor and mounting configuration of the ring terminal.

Q: Are there any regulatory compliance differences between the obsolete and substitute parts?

A: The LCMA6-5-C meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH unaffected, representing current regulatory standards. The obsolete LCMA6-5F-C regulatory status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Can the LCMA6-5-C be used in new designs?

A: Yes. The LCMA6-5-C is in active production status and is suitable for both replacement applications and new design implementations requiring M5 stud ring terminal connectors in the 4.0 ~ 6.0mm² wire gauge range.

Q: What is the mounting configuration of the substitute part?

A: The LCMA6-5-C is configured as a free-hanging, in-line terminal connector, suitable for direct connection to M5 studs without additional mounting hardware.
