LCC8-38DF-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCC8-38DF-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 8 AWG wire termination on a 3/8 stud. This component is part of the Pan-Lug™ series and features a non-insulated, electro-tin plated copper construction with a crimp barrel termination method. The part is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCC8-38DF-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge (8 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), terminal style (two stud holes), tab thickness (0.050"), termination method (crimp barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), insulation type (non-insulated), barrel dimensions (ID 0.180", OD 0.270"), and ring ID (0.410") must remain constant across any substitute part.

The LCC8-38D-L meets all these requirements and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCC8-38DF-L. Both parts share the same base product number (LCC8) and series designation (Pan-Lug™), confirming their interchangeability within the product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC8-38D-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCC8-38DF-L. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The LCC8-38D-L carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The transition from LCC8-38DF-L to LCC8-38D-L introduces no functional changes to terminal performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical fit within existing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCC8-38D-L be used as a direct replacement for the LCC8-38DF-L?

A: Yes. The LCC8-38D-L is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge, stud size, terminal geometry, barrel dimensions, and contact specifications.

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

A: The LCC8-38DF-L is obsolete, while the LCC8-38D-L is an active product. The packaging differs (the main part does not specify packaging; the substitute is supplied in bulk), but functional specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Will the LCC8-38D-L fit existing mounting and termination equipment designed for the LCC8-38DF-L?

A: Yes. Identical tab thickness, barrel ID/OD, ring ID, and mounting type (free hanging, in-line) ensure compatibility with all existing equipment and assembly processes.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to this substitution?

A: The LCC8-38D-L has 804 pieces in stock as an active product, providing reliable supply availability compared to the obsolete LCC8-38DF-L.
