Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LCMA6-5H-C has been identified with one direct substitute: LCMA6-5-C. This substitution is based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Key Substitution Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Base Product Number: LCMA (common platform designation)
• Terminal Type: Ring Terminal Connector (same functional form factor)
• Stud/Tab Size: M5 Stud (identical mounting interface)
• Wire Gauge: 4.0 ~ 6.0mm² (same conductor cross-section range)
• Termination Method: Crimp (identical connection technique)
• Contact Material: Copper (same electrical conductor material)
• Contact Finish: Tin (same surface treatment)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (same installation configuration)

The substitute part LCMA6-5-C maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and current availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA6-5-C directly replace LCMA6-5H-C in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical stud size (M5), wire gauge range (4.0 ~ 6.0mm²), termination method (crimp), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). The substitute maintains functional equivalence for direct replacement applications.

Q: What is the difference between the "H" designation in LCMA6-5H-C and the standard LCMA6-5-C?

A: The provided data does not specify the functional distinction associated with the "H" designation. However, both parts are ring terminal connectors from the same manufacturer with identical critical parameters for substitution purposes.

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

A: The LCMA6-5-C carries explicit ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certifications. The obsolete LCMA6-5H-C compliance status is not specified in available documentation. The active substitute meets current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The LCMA6-5-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory shows 1309 pieces available as new original stock.

Q: Are dimensional specifications identical between the two parts?

A: Dimensional data for the LCMA6-5H-C is not provided in available documentation. The LCMA6-5-C specifications are: thickness 0.046" (1.17mm), width 0.394" (10.00mm), and overall length 1.083" (27.51mm). Verification against original LCMA6-5H-C drawings is recommended for critical dimensional applications.

Q: What is the contact material and finish specification?

A: Both parts utilize copper contact material with tin finish, ensuring consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across substitution.

Q: Is the substitute part insulated or non-insulated?

A: The LCMA6-5-C is specified as non-insulated. Insulation status for the obsolete LCMA6-5H-C is not documented.
