Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCMB70-10-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Stud/Tab Size: M10 Stud
• Wire Gauge: 70mm²
• 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)

The identified substitute part LCMA70-10-L matches all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the product status (obsolete versus active) and physical length dimension, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for the specified application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCMA70-10-L is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCMB70-10-X. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including stud size, wire gauge, contact material, and termination method.

The LCMA70-10-L is currently in active production status with 1979 units in stock, compared to the LCMB70-10-X which is obsolete. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications requiring these certifications.

The length dimension difference (68.20mm versus 53.50mm) does not affect electrical compatibility or mechanical interface with M10 stud connections. Component selection should be based on available inventory, packaging requirements, and specific application space constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCMA70-10-L be used as a direct replacement for LCMB70-10-X?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for M10 stud connection, 70mm² wire gauge, copper tin-plated contact material, and crimp termination. The primary difference is product status and overall length dimension.

Q: What is the significance of the length difference between these parts?

A: The LCMB70-10-X measures 2.685" (68.20mm) in overall length, while the LCMA70-10-L measures 2.106" (53.50mm). This dimensional difference does not affect the electrical interface or mechanical connection to M10 studs. Application-specific space constraints should determine which length is appropriate.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both LCMB70-10-X and LCMA70-10-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Q: Why is LCMB70-10-X listed as obsolete?

A: The LCMB70-10-X is classified as obsolete by Panduit Corp. The LCMA70-10-L, part of the active Pan-Lug™ series, provides equivalent functionality and is currently in production.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The LCMB70-10-X was supplied in standard packaging. The LCMA70-10-L is available in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both components feature copper contact material with tin finish, ensuring equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.
