Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The LCMB630-16-3 has one identified equivalent substitute: LCMA630-16-1. Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M16 Stud (identical)
• Wire Gauge: 630mm² (identical)
• Terminal Type: Flat Sided, Tubular (Battery Lugs) (identical)
• Contact Material: Copper (identical)
• Contact Finish: Tin (identical)
• Termination Method: Crimp (identical)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (identical)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (identical)

The LCMA630-16-1 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the LCMB630-16-3 across all critical functional parameters. The primary distinction is product status: LCMA630-16-1 is active and currently in stock, whereas LCMB630-16-3 is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA630-16-3 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete LCMB630-16-3. Selection of LCMA630-16-1 is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Compliance and Regulatory Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Product Status: LCMA630-16-1 is active and maintains current inventory availability (866 pcs in stock), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete LCMB630-16-3 status.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical functional parameters are identical, including stud size (M16), wire gauge (630mm²), contact material (copper), contact finish (tin), and termination method (crimp). These parameters determine electrical performance and mechanical fit within the target application.

Dimensional Consideration: The overall length differs between the two parts (LCMB630-16-3: 6.264", LCMA630-16-1: 5.157"). This dimensional variance must be evaluated within the specific application context to confirm spatial compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA630-16-1 be used as a direct replacement for LCMB630-16-3?

A: LCMA630-16-1 is electrically and mechanically compatible with LCMB630-16-3 across all critical functional parameters: M16 stud size, 630mm² wire gauge, copper contact material with tin finish, and crimp termination. The primary difference is overall length (5.157" vs. 6.264"). Compatibility depends on whether the application space accommodates the shorter length of LCMA630-16-1.

Q: Why is LCMB630-16-3 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer discontinuation. LCMA630-16-1 represents the active equivalent within Panduit's current product line, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with current manufacturing and supply support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both LCMB630-16-3 and LCMA630-16-1 maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements are satisfied by either part.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference?

A: The overall length difference (1.107" or 28.11mm) reflects design optimization in the active LCMA630-16-1 series. This dimensional change does not affect electrical performance or stud/wire interface specifications. Application-specific spatial constraints must be evaluated to confirm fit.

Q: Is packaging a consideration for substitution?

A: Packaging format (bulk for LCMA630-16-1 vs. unspecified for LCMB630-16-3) affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging selection should align with inventory management and assembly process requirements.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. ECCN classification is EAR99 for both, and HTSUS code is 8536.90.4000 for both, indicating identical regulatory and trade classification.
