LCC6-38DWF-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCC6-38DWF-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 6 AWG wire termination on a 3/8 stud. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts to maintain supply chain continuity. The terminal features a two stud hole configuration with crimp barrel termination and electro-tin contact finish on copper material. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing equivalent or substitute components is required for ongoing applications and new designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCC6-38DWF-L is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must accommodate 6 AWG wire termination.

Stud/Tab Size Compatibility: The substitute part must feature a 3/8 stud to ensure mechanical fit with existing mounting infrastructure.

Termination Method: The substitute part must utilize crimp barrel termination to maintain compatibility with existing assembly processes.

Barrel Dimensions: The substitute part must maintain identical barrel inner diameter (0.220") and outer diameter (0.310") to ensure proper wire seating and mechanical integrity.

Contact Material and Finish: The substitute part must use copper material with electro-tin finish to maintain electrical performance and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Tab Thickness: The substitute part must maintain 0.060" (1.52mm) tab thickness for consistent mechanical performance.

The LCC6-38DW-L meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the Pan-Lug™ series, offering functional equivalence with improved product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC6-38DW-L is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete LCC6-38DWF-L. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements, with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The transition from the obsolete LCC6-38DWF-L to the active LCC6-38DW-L presents no functional degradation or performance compromise. The primary distinction between these components is the terminal type designation (rectangular tongue versus lug, grounding), which reflects design classification rather than functional incompatibility in applications requiring 6 AWG termination on 3/8 studs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCC6-38DW-L directly replace the LCC6-38DWF-L in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge (6 AWG), stud size (3/8), barrel dimensions, contact material, contact finish, and termination method. The electrical and mechanical interface characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the terminal type difference between these parts?

A: The LCC6-38DWF-L is classified as a rectangular tongue terminal, while the LCC6-38DW-L is classified as a lug, grounding terminal. This classification reflects design intent and application category rather than physical or electrical incompatibility. Both accommodate identical wire gauges and stud sizes with matching barrel specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000).

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: The LCC6-38DWF-L is obsolete with 967 pieces in stock. The LCC6-38DW-L is active with 719 pieces in stock. For new designs and ongoing applications, the active LCC6-38DW-L is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term supply availability.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these components?

A: The components share identical tab thickness (0.060"), width at outer edges (0.620"), barrel inner diameter (0.220"), and barrel outer diameter (0.310"). The LCC6-38DWF-L does not specify overall length, while the LCC6-38DW-L specifies 3.079" overall length.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in assembly processes?

A: Yes. Both components utilize identical crimp barrel termination methods and maintain matching barrel dimensions, ensuring compatibility with existing crimping equipment and assembly procedures.
