Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMB16-6-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M6 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 16mm²
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs)
• Termination Method: Crimp
• Contact Material: Copper
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

The LCMA16-6-C meets all mandatory matching parameters and maintains equivalent compliance certifications. Dimensional variations in thickness and overall length are within acceptable tolerances for the M6 stud ring terminal application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA16-6-C is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCMB16-6-L. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for M6 stud ring terminal applications with 16mm² wire gauge.

Selection Basis:

The LCMA16-6-C is classified as an active product, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current procurement standards.

The LCMA16-6-C is supplied in bulk packaging, providing cost efficiency for production environments. The dimensional variation in overall length (1.358" versus 1.858") reflects design optimization within the Pan-Lug™ series while maintaining full functional equivalence for M6 stud mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCMA16-6-C directly replace the LCMB16-6-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components share identical stud size (M6), wire gauge (16mm²), terminal type (flat-sided tubular battery lug), contact material (copper with tin finish), and termination method (crimp). The dimensional differences in length and thickness do not affect functional compatibility for M6 stud applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The LCMB16-6-L is classified as obsolete. The LCMA16-6-C is the active equivalent from Panduit Corp, ensuring continued procurement availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both the LCMB16-6-L and LCMA16-6-C maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The LCMB16-6-L is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the LCMA16-6-C is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for production environments and provides improved cost efficiency.

Q: Are there inventory considerations?

A: The LCMA16-6-C has higher current inventory availability (1908 pcs) compared to the obsolete LCMB16-6-L (782 pcs). The active status of LCMA16-6-C ensures ongoing supply replenishment.

Q: How do the dimensional differences affect application suitability?

A: The LCMA16-6-C has a shorter overall length (1.358" versus 1.858") and marginally increased thickness (0.050" versus 0.049"). These variations are within standard tolerances for M6 stud ring terminal applications and do not compromise electrical or mechanical performance.
