Incorrect Part & Extra Costs Due to Website Error
Issue with Order: We experienced a significant issue with our order due to an error in the website's part identification system. This error led to the receipt of an incorrect part, which was not only inconvenient but also added unnecessary costs to our project.
Cost Impact: The mistake resulted in an additional expense of $300 over our original budget. This overcharge was a direct consequence of the website error, placing an unforeseen financial burden on our project.
Incorrect Part Received: Instead of the PigTail part we initially ordered, we received a connector. This mix-up was further complicated when the representative provided us with the wrong part number during our attempt to resolve the issue.
Overall Experience: The combination of the website's identification error, the additional costs, and the receipt of the wrong part has been highly disappointing. It has caused delays and financial strain on our project, which could have been avoided with a more accurate and reliable ordering system.
Recommendation for Improvement: We urge the supplier to review and improve their website's part identification process to prevent such errors in the future. Clearer communication and more accurate assistance from customer service representatives would also be beneficial.

LC103B-250lb load cell
Great load cell for the cost of the item. We used LC101-250 before, but the new model is great.

Couldnt have asked for a better product very solid and realiable.

How can I get the datasheet for the load cell? The datasheet provided in the link brings me to a datasheet for cable assemblies and twist connectors instead of the load cell.
There is currently no datasheet available for the LC103B Series load cells. If you scroll down to the bottom of the LC103B product page on our website you will find complete specifications, wiring and dimensions.

Hi, Dose this load cell have CSA, cUL, or any other regulatory approval.
Maik, thank you for contacting Omega Engineering. At this time we do not unfortunately have any of the above approvals.
Date published: 2021-08-18
Is this load cell compatible with a National Instruments chassis? Does this load cell require a special DAC?
This load has an internal 3mV/V sensitivity full strain gage bridge. NI offers input boards designed to take this type of input. We do not know the exact model number of this input board so you have to check with NI directly

Are the threads on the LC103B-100 Load Cell right handed threads on both sides of the load cell? I just want to make sure it isn't like a turn buckle where there is a left handed thread on one side and a right handed thread on the other side.
Thank you for your question, these are right-handed threads.

Do you have the datasheet?
Thank you for your inquire
The data sheets are now being added below the order page.

What is the threadcount and diameter requirement for the heim joints?
Shane, the internal thread on the LC103B-100 model will be 1/4-28UNF. Thank you.
Date published: 2019-11-23
Were can I find the datasheet/pin-out/color coding etc?
LC113B models < 300 lbs uses 4-pin connector, and LC113B models > 300 lbs use 6 pin connector.
Pin out will be:
4 pin : A = + Out B = - Out C = -Input D = +Input
6 pin : A = + Out B = - Out C = -Input D = +Input E and F = NO CONTACT
One of our Application engineers has reached out to you regarding this case, in case you need more assistance feel free to reach us at 1800 622 2378

The LC101 page says that series is being replaced by the new and improved LC103B series. What is improved? LC103B appears to have greater error (linearity, hysteresis, repeatability) but is bi-directional for less than half the cost. Is that it?
You are correct. Combined accuracy calculation for LC103B does work out to 0.060% opposed to 0.037% of the LC101. We should consider calling this load cell a more economical replacement of LC101 rather than an improved version.
