LCBH2-38-Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCBH2-38-Q is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2 AWG wire gauge applications with a 3/8 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The terminal features crimp barrel termination, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material suitable for electrical connectivity applications requiring non-insulated rectangular tongue configurations.

Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary due to the obsolete status of the LCBH2-38-Q. Locating active production alternatives ensures continued availability, supply chain reliability, and access to components with current manufacturing certifications and compliance documentation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCBH2-38-Q is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Panduit Pan-Lug™ series. The substitute part LCB2-38-Q maintains identical specifications across all critical dimensions and electrical characteristics that define functional compatibility.

The substitution logic is determined by the following parameters:

• Wire gauge rating (2 AWG)
• Stud size (3/8 inch)
• Terminal type (rectangular tongue)
• Termination method (crimp barrel)
• Physical dimensions (length, width, barrel diameter, ring diameter)
• Contact material and finish (copper with electro-tin)
• Insulation classification (non-insulated)

The LCB2-38-Q substitute part is identical in all these parameters and differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk versus original packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCB2-38-Q terminal connector is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCBH2-38-Q. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence.

Selection of the LCB2-38-Q substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures current manufacturing, quality assurance, and ongoing availability
• ROHS3 compliance certification is maintained across both components
• Identical dimensional specifications guarantee mechanical fit and electrical performance in existing applications
• Copper contact material with electro-tin finish provides equivalent conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Bulk packaging of the substitute part does not affect individual component performance or electrical characteristics

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently specified for the LCBH2-38-Q without modification to circuit design, assembly procedures, or electrical performance expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCB2-38-Q substitute be used as a direct replacement for the LCBH2-38-Q?

A: Yes. The LCB2-38-Q is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCBH2-38-Q. All critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, terminal dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications are identical. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between the LCBH2-38-Q and LCB2-38-Q?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The LCBH2-38-Q is obsolete and supplied in original packaging, while the LCB2-38-Q is an active product supplied in bulk packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the LCB2-38-Q affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging configuration does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of individual terminal connectors. The bulk packaging of the LCB2-38-Q provides the same component specifications as the original packaging of the LCBH2-38-Q.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LCBH2-38-Q and LCB2-38-Q maintain ROHS3 compliance certification. The substitute part meets the same regulatory and environmental standards as the original component.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the LCBH2-38-Q and LCB2-38-Q are rated for 2 AWG wire gauge with a 3/8 inch stud connection.

Q: Can this terminal be used in insulated applications?

A: No. Both the LCBH2-38-Q and LCB2-38-Q are non-insulated terminals. They are not suitable for applications requiring insulated terminal connectors.

Q: What is the termination method for these terminals?

A: Both components use crimp barrel termination. Wire connection is established through barrel crimping onto the 2 AWG conductor.
