Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMAX50-12-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M12 Stud (mechanical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 50mm² (electrical current capacity)
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs) (form factor and application class)
• Termination Method: Crimp (assembly compatibility)
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper with Tin finish (electrical and corrosion performance)
• Insulation Status: Non-Insulated (environmental and application context)

The LCMA50-12-L meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer within the Pan-Lug™ series, maintaining functional and electrical equivalence while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA50-12-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMAX50-12-L. Both components share identical functional specifications for M12 stud ring terminal applications with 50mm² wire gauge capacity.

The LCMA50-12-L offers the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Currently manufactured and supported by Panduit Corp, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications confirm environmental and regulatory adherence
• Dimensional Variations: The substitute exhibits reduced thickness (0.071" vs. 0.110") and modified width and length dimensions, which remain within the functional requirements for M12 stud applications

Selection of the LCMA50-12-L eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing M12 stud terminal applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA50-12-L directly replace the LCMAX50-12-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are functionally equivalent for M12 stud ring terminal applications with 50mm² wire gauge. The dimensional differences (thickness, width, length) do not affect the core electrical or mechanical interface requirements.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The LCMAX50-12-L is obsolete. The LCMA50-12-L is an active product from the same manufacturer that meets all functional and electrical specifications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The LCMA50-12-L includes ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications, whereas the LCMAX50-12-L does not specify these certifications. Both share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect compatibility?

A: The LCMA50-12-L has reduced thickness (0.071" vs. 0.110"), increased width (0.906" vs. 0.819"), and reduced length (1.969" vs. 2.106"). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for M12 stud terminal applications and do not compromise mechanical or electrical performance.

Q: What is the wire gauge capacity for both parts?

A: Both the LCMAX50-12-L and LCMA50-12-L are rated for 50mm² wire gauge with crimp termination.

Q: Are both parts non-insulated?

A: Yes. Both components are non-insulated ring terminal connectors with copper contact material and tin finish.

Q: What is the stud size for these terminals?

A: Both parts are designed for M12 stud applications.
