LCMA6-6H-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMA6-6H-C is a terminal connector rectangular wire management component manufactured by Panduit Corp. This part is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. The component was designed for applications requiring ring terminal connectors with M6 stud configuration and crimp termination for wire gauges between 4.0 and 6.0mm².

Due to its obsolete status, identification of active equivalent parts is necessary to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure ongoing availability for replacement and new applications. The substitute part identified maintains functional compatibility through matching electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMA6-6H-C is based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Stud/Tab Size: M6 stud configuration is the primary mechanical interface parameter. The substitute part must accommodate the same stud diameter to ensure proper mounting compatibility.

Wire Gauge Range: 4.0 ~ 6.0mm² wire gauge compatibility ensures the crimp termination area and contact geometry remain functionally equivalent.

Termination Method: Crimp termination type must remain consistent to maintain compatibility with existing assembly processes and tooling.

Mounting Configuration: Free hanging (in-line) mounting type ensures the substitute part functions identically in the application environment.

Base Product Series: Both parts share the LCMA base product number, indicating they belong to the same product family and design lineage.

The substitute part LCMA6-6-C meets all these criteria while maintaining active product status and current manufacturing availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: LCMA6-6-C

The LCMA6-6-C is the direct active substitute for the obsolete LCMA6-6H-C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical parameters for stud size (M6), wire gauge range (4.0 ~ 6.0mm²), termination method (crimp), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line).

The LCMA6-6-C offers the following advantages for new designs and replacement applications:

Product Status: Active manufacturing status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. The obsolete LCMA6-6H-C is no longer produced and inventory is limited.

Regulatory Compliance: The LCMA6-6-C is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

Material Specifications: Copper contact material with tin finish provides consistent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance equivalent to the original design intent.

Series Designation: Both parts belong to the Pan-Lug™ series, confirming design continuity and functional equivalence within the Panduit product portfolio.

For applications currently using LCMA6-6H-C, direct substitution with LCMA6-6-C is supported without modification to assembly processes, tooling, or application design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA6-6-C directly replace LCMA6-6H-C in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical stud size (M6), wire gauge range (4.0 ~ 6.0mm²), crimp termination method, and free hanging mounting configuration. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The LCMA6-6H-C is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The LCMA6-6-C is the active equivalent part from the same manufacturer and product family.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The LCMA6-6-C is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance specifications for the obsolete LCMA6-6H-C were not provided. For applications requiring specific regulatory compliance, the LCMA6-6-C meets current environmental standards.

Q: What is the difference between "Rectangular Connector" and "Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)" descriptions?

A: Both descriptions refer to the same functional component type: a ring terminal connector with M6 stud mounting. The LCMA6-6-C uses more specific terminology (flat sided, tubular battery lug design) to describe the contact geometry and application category.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: The LCMA6-6-C has the following dimensions: thickness 0.046" (1.17mm), width 0.425" (10.80mm), and overall length 1.083" (27.51mm). Dimension specifications for the LCMA6-6H-C were not provided in the available data.

Q: What contact material and finish does the substitute part use?

A: The LCMA6-6-C uses copper contact material with tin finish, providing standard electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for ring terminal applications.

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

A: The LCMA6-6-C is non-insulated. The insulation specification for the LCMA6-6H-C was not provided.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The LCMA6-6-C has 1690 pieces of new original stock available. The LCMA6-6H-C has 695 pieces of new original stock but is obsolete and will not be replenished.
