Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMAX35-8-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M8 Stud (electrical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 35mm² (conductor cross-section compatibility)
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs) (form factor and application class)
• Termination Method: Crimp (assembly process compatibility)
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper with Tin finish (electrical and corrosion performance)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (installation configuration)
• Insulation Classification: Non-Insulated (environmental exposure rating)

The LCMA35-8-C meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA35-8-C is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMAX35-8-C. Both components share identical electrical and functional specifications for M8 stud ring terminal applications with 35mm² wire gauge capacity.

The LCMA35-8-C offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Panduit Corp, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications provide compliance with current environmental and material restriction standards
• Dimensional Optimization: Reduced thickness (0.081" vs. 0.098") and overall length (1.654" vs. 1.831") provide improved space efficiency while maintaining full electrical compatibility

The minor dimensional differences do not affect electrical performance or M8 stud interface compatibility. Selection of the LCMA35-8-C eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are LCMAX35-8-C and LCMA35-8-C electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components feature identical stud size (M8), wire gauge (35mm²), contact material (copper with tin finish), and termination method (crimp). Electrical performance and current-carrying capacity are equivalent.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The LCMA35-8-C has reduced overall dimensions: thickness of 0.081" compared to 0.098", width of 0.610" compared to 0.709", and length of 1.654" compared to 1.831". These differences do not affect stud interface compatibility or electrical function.

Q: Why is the LCMAX35-8-C listed as obsolete?

A: The LCMAX35-8-C has been superseded by the LCMA35-8-C within Panduit Corp's product portfolio. The newer LCMA35-8-C offers improved compliance certifications and optimized dimensions while maintaining full functional equivalence.

Q: Does the LCMA35-8-C meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The LCMA35-8-C is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and material restriction standards. The obsolete LCMAX35-8-C does not specify these certifications.

Q: Can I use LCMA35-8-C in existing applications designed for LCMAX35-8-C?

A: Yes. The LCMA35-8-C maintains full compatibility with M8 stud applications. The reduced dimensions provide improved space efficiency without compromising electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The LCMA35-8-C is supplied in bulk packaging, consistent with the original LCMAX35-8-C format.
