Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete LCC2-38BWH-Q is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Pan-Lug™ series. The substitute part LCC2-38BW-Q maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: wire gauge (2 AWG), stud size (3/8 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), tab thickness (0.100 inch), barrel dimensions (ID 0.310 inch, OD 0.420 inch), ring ID (0.410 inch), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp barrel).

The key differentiating factors between the main part and substitute are:

Product Status: LCC2-38BWH-Q is obsolete; LCC2-38BW-Q is active
Packaging: LCC2-38BWH-Q packaging not specified; LCC2-38BW-Q supplied in bulk
Mounting Type: LCC2-38BWH-Q specifies 45° angle mounting; LCC2-38BW-Q specifies free hanging in-line mounting
Overall Length: LCC2-38BWH-Q length not provided; LCC2-38BW-Q is 2.990" (75.95mm)

All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, confirming functional equivalence for terminal connection applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC2-38BW-Q is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently specified with the obsolete LCC2-38BWH-Q. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 2 AWG wire gauge connections to 3/8 inch studs.

The LCC2-38BW-Q is currently in active production status with 1105 pieces available in inventory, ensuring supply chain reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system replacements.

The primary distinction between the parts is the mounting configuration: the obsolete LCC2-38BWH-Q specifies 45° angle mounting, while the active LCC2-38BW-Q specifies free hanging in-line mounting. Applications requiring the 45° angle configuration must evaluate whether the in-line mounting of the substitute part is compatible with the mechanical assembly design. The electrical and mechanical connection parameters remain identical, confirming functional interchangeability for terminal connection purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the LCC2-38BWH-Q and LCC2-38BW-Q electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical wire gauge (2 AWG), stud size (3/8 inch), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), barrel dimensions, and termination method (crimp barrel). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are product status (obsolete versus active), mounting type (45° angle versus free hanging in-line), and packaging specification. All electrical and mechanical connection parameters are identical.

Q: Can the LCC2-38BW-Q be used in applications originally designed for the LCC2-38BWH-Q?

A: The LCC2-38BW-Q provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for terminal connection. Applications must confirm that the free hanging in-line mounting configuration is compatible with the mechanical assembly design, as the original part specified 45° angle mounting.

Q: What is the wire gauge capacity for these terminals?

A: Both parts are rated for 2 AWG wire gauge with a 3/8 inch stud connection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LCC2-38BWH-Q and LCC2-38BW-Q are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The LCC2-38BW-Q is supplied in bulk packaging. The original part packaging specification was not provided.

Q: What is the overall length of the LCC2-38BW-Q?

A: The LCC2-38BW-Q has an overall length of 2.990 inches (75.95mm). The overall length of the original LCC2-38BWH-Q was not provided in the specifications.

Q: What contact material and finish are used in these terminals?

A: Both parts feature copper contact material with electro-tin plating for corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.
