LCC2-38CW-Q Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCC2-38CW-Q is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2 AWG wire gauge applications with a 3/8 stud configuration. This component is classified as a Pan-Lug™ series terminal and features a non-insulated, electro-tin plated copper construction suitable for crimp barrel termination in free-hanging, in-line mounting applications.

The LCC2-38CW-Q carries an Obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure procurement availability, and support ongoing system maintenance and repair operations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCC2-38CW-Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Wire Gauge: 2 AWG
Stud/Tab Size: 3/8 Stud
Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue
Terminal Style: Two Stud Holes
Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel
Tab Thickness: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Barrel ID: 0.310" (7.87mm)
Barrel OD: 0.420" (10.67mm)
Ring ID: 0.410" (10.41mm)
Contact Material: Copper
Contact Finish: Electro-Tin
Insulation: Non-Insulated

The LCD2-38D-Q qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Dimensional variations in overall length and packaging format do not affect functional compatibility in terminal connector applications where the stud interface, wire gauge accommodation, and barrel termination specifications remain identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCD2-38D-Q is the qualified substitute for the obsolete LCC2-38CW-Q. Selection of the LCD2-38D-Q is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The LCD2-38D-Q maintains Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain continuity. The LCC2-38CW-Q Obsolete designation necessitates transition to an equivalent active component.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, confirming equivalent environmental and regulatory standing.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters align identically between the two components. The 0.120" (3.05mm) reduction in overall length does not impact functional performance in applications where the stud interface, wire gauge accommodation, and barrel termination specifications are the controlling design factors.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series, ensuring design consistency and quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCD2-38D-Q be used as a direct replacement for the LCC2-38CW-Q in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The LCD2-38D-Q qualifies as a direct functional substitute. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters—wire gauge, stud size, terminal type, termination method, and barrel dimensions—are identical. The difference in overall length does not affect terminal connector functionality.

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

A: The LCC2-38CW-Q measures 3.120" (79.25mm) in overall length, while the LCD2-38D-Q measures 3.000" (76.20mm). This 0.120" (3.05mm) dimensional variation does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. The stud interface, wire gauge accommodation, and barrel termination specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these components?

A: No. Both components carry identical RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. They are equivalent from a regulatory and environmental compliance perspective.

Q: Why is the LCC2-38CW-Q listed as Obsolete?

A: The Obsolete designation indicates that the LCC2-38CW-Q is no longer in active production. The LCD2-38D-Q represents the current active equivalent within the Panduit Pan-Lug™ series for this application.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The LCC2-38CW-Q is supplied in standard packaging format, while the LCD2-38D-Q is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both are available in quantities supporting production and maintenance requirements.

Q: Are the contact material and finish specifications identical?

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

Q: Can the LCD2-38D-Q be used in new designs replacing the LCC2-38CW-Q?

A: Yes. The LCD2-38D-Q is the appropriate selection for new designs. Its Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturer support compared to the Obsolete LCC2-38CW-Q.
