LCB1-38-TL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCB1-38-TL is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1 AWG wire gauge applications with a 3/8" stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method, non-insulated construction, and electro-tin contact finish on copper material. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCB1-38-TL is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part LCB1-38-E maintains identical specifications across the following key criteria:

Wire gauge capacity (1 AWG)
Stud connection size (3/8")
Terminal geometry (rectangular tongue configuration)
Crimp barrel termination method
Physical dimensions (tab thickness, overall length, width, barrel diameters, ring ID)
Contact material and finish (copper with electro-tin)
Non-insulated construction
Color specification (green)
Regulatory compliance (ROHS3)

The primary distinction between LCB1-38-TL and LCB1-38-E is product status and packaging configuration. LCB1-38-E is an active product available in bulk packaging, whereas LCB1-38-TL is obsolete. Both components are members of the Pan-Lug™ series and share identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCB1-38-E is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete LCB1-38-TL. Selection of LCB1-38-E is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: LCB1-38-E maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The obsolete status of LCB1-38-TL necessitates transition to an active alternative.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical export classification (EAR99). LCB1-38-E additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, providing expanded regulatory documentation.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters determining terminal performance—wire gauge capacity, stud size, termination method, dimensional specifications, and contact properties—are identical between the two components.

Inventory Availability: LCB1-38-E is available in active stock quantities (1078 pcs), supporting immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCB1-38-E be used as a direct replacement for LCB1-38-TL in existing applications?

A: Yes. LCB1-38-E is electrically and mechanically equivalent to LCB1-38-TL across all specified parameters. The components are interchangeable for applications requiring 1 AWG wire termination with 3/8" stud connection using crimp barrel termination.

Q: What is the difference between LCB1-38-TL and LCB1-38-E?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. LCB1-38-TL is obsolete with unspecified packaging, while LCB1-38-E is an active product supplied in bulk packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Why is LCB1-38-TL listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued from active manufacturing. LCB1-38-E represents the current active equivalent within the Pan-Lug™ series.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these components?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. LCB1-38-E includes additional REACH Unaffected documentation.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: LCB1-38-E is supplied in bulk packaging configuration.

Q: Do these terminals require insulation?

A: Both LCB1-38-TL and LCB1-38-E are non-insulated terminals. Insulation requirements must be addressed through external means if required by the application.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both components are rated for 1 AWG wire gauge with a 0.360" (9.14mm) barrel inner diameter.
