LCMAX95-8-L Ring Terminal Connector M8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCMAX95-8-L is a ring terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for M8 stud applications with a 95mm² wire gauge capacity. This component is classified as a flat-sided, tubular battery lug terminal with crimp termination and non-insulated copper construction with tin finish. The LCMAX95-8-L is currently listed with obsolete product status, making identification of suitable substitute components necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMAX95-8-L is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M8 Stud (mechanical interface requirement)
• Wire Gauge: 95mm² (electrical current capacity)
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs) (form factor and application)
• Termination Method: Crimp (assembly compatibility)
• Contact Material: Copper (electrical conductivity)
• Contact Finish: Tin (corrosion resistance and solderability)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (environmental exposure classification)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (installation configuration)

The LCMA95-8-L meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a direct substitute for the obsolete LCMAX95-8-L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA95-8-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCMAX95-8-L. Both components share identical electrical and functional specifications for M8 stud ring terminal applications with 95mm² wire gauge capacity.

The LCMA95-8-L offers the following advantages for new designs and replacement applications:

• Active Product Status: The LCMA95-8-L maintains active production status with Panduit Corp, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• RoHS3 Compliance: The substitute part is certified RoHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.
• REACH Unaffected Status: The LCMA95-8-L is classified as REACH unaffected, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations.
• Established Series: The LCMA95-8-L belongs to the Pan-Lug™ series, representing a mature and widely adopted product line.

Minor dimensional variations exist between the two parts (thickness, width, and length), but these do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with M8 stud interfaces. The substitute part maintains the same contact material, finish, and termination method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA95-8-L directly replace the LCMAX95-8-L in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical stud size (M8), wire gauge (95mm²), terminal type (flat-sided tubular battery lug), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and termination method (crimp). The electrical and mechanical interfaces are equivalent.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The LCMA95-8-L has slightly reduced dimensions compared to the LCMAX95-8-L. Thickness is 0.120" versus 0.138", width is 0.965" versus 1.083", and overall length is 2.382" versus 2.559". These variations do not affect M8 stud compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Why is the LCMAX95-8-L listed as obsolete?

A: The LCMAX95-8-L has been superseded by the LCMA95-8-L within Panduit Corp's product portfolio. The LCMA95-8-L represents the current active offering for this terminal specification.

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

A: The LCMA95-8-L provides additional compliance documentation. It is certified RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the LCMAX95-8-L does not list these certifications. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The LCMAX95-8-L was supplied in standard packaging. The LCMA95-8-L is available in bulk packaging, which may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.

Q: Is the non-insulated construction suitable for all applications?

A: Both parts are non-insulated ring terminals. Application suitability depends on the specific electrical system design, environmental exposure, and safety requirements. Non-insulated terminals are appropriate for applications where the stud interface is isolated or where insulation is provided by the system design.
