Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMAX120-8-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M8 Stud (electrical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 120mm² (conductor cross-section compatibility)
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs) (mechanical form factor)
• Termination Method: Crimp (assembly process compatibility)
• Contact Material: Copper (electrical conductivity requirement)
• Contact Finish: Tin (corrosion resistance and solderability)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (design specification)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (installation configuration)

The LCMA120-8-L meets all critical substitution criteria. Dimensional variations in thickness, width, and length do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA120-8-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMAX120-8-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The LCMA120-8-L carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing regulatory compliance for current manufacturing and deployment environments.

Dimensional differences between the main part and substitute (thickness, width, and length) are within acceptable tolerances for the M8 stud interface and do not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit within standard mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA120-8-L directly replace the LCMAX120-8-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical stud size (M8), wire gauge (120mm²), terminal type (flat-sided tubular battery lug), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and termination method (crimp). The dimensional variations do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between these parts?

A: The LCMAX120-8-L is obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The LCMA120-8-L is active, ensuring continued supply, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The LCMAX120-8-L is supplied with unspecified packaging. The LCMA120-8-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should be based on procurement volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect installation or performance?

A: No. The dimensional variations (thickness, width, length) represent design refinements within the same functional category. The M8 stud interface and 120mm² wire gauge capacity remain unchanged, ensuring compatibility with existing connector hardware and wiring systems.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The LCMA120-8-L is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and 8536.90.4000 HTSUS code.
