LCCF4-38D-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCCF4-38D-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 4 AWG wire gauge applications with a 3/8 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features a non-insulated design with electro-tin contact finish and copper base material, suitable for crimp barrel termination in free-hanging inline mounting configurations.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain supply chain continuity and ensure project completion without design modifications. The LCCX4-38D-L serves as an active production alternative within the same Pan-Lug™ series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between the LCCF4-38D-L and LCCX4-38D-L is based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters that define functional compatibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Wire gauge (4 AWG)
• Stud/tab size (3/8 stud)
• Terminal type (rectangular tongue)
• Termination method (crimp, barrel)
• Ring ID (0.410")
• Contact material (copper)
• Contact finish (electro-tin)
• Mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line)

Allowable Variations:

• Overall length (3.350" vs. 3.090")
• Barrel outer diameter (0.460" vs. 0.380")
• Product status (obsolete vs. active)
• Packaging configuration

These variations do not affect the core electrical or mechanical interface requirements for the 4 AWG wire connection to the 3/8 stud terminal point.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: LCCX4-38D-L

The LCCX4-38D-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCCF4-38D-L. Selection of this part is based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Product Status: The LCCX4-38D-L maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the discontinued LCCF4-38D-L.

2. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification, confirming equivalent regulatory standing.

3. Functional Equivalence: Critical parameters including wire gauge (4 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), and ring ID (0.410") are identical, ensuring direct functional compatibility in existing circuit designs.

4. Material and Finish Specifications: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish is maintained across both parts, preserving electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

5. Dimensional Tolerance: The LCCX4-38D-L exhibits a reduced barrel outer diameter (0.380" vs. 0.460") and shorter overall length (3.090" vs. 3.350"), which do not compromise the core stud connection interface or wire termination function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCCX4-38D-L be used as a direct replacement for the LCCF4-38D-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The LCCX4-38D-L is functionally equivalent for all critical connection parameters. The 4 AWG wire termination and 3/8 stud interface are identical. The reduced barrel outer diameter and overall length do not affect the electrical or mechanical connection at the stud interface.

Q: What is the significance of the barrel outer diameter difference between these parts?

A: The barrel outer diameter (0.460" for LCCF4-38D-L vs. 0.380" for LCCX4-38D-L) relates to the crimp barrel geometry. Both maintain the same barrel inner diameter (0.280") and ring ID (0.410"), which are the critical parameters for wire gauge compatibility and stud connection. The reduced outer diameter in the LCCX4-38D-L represents a design optimization that does not alter functional performance.

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

A: No. Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory standing is equivalent.

Q: Why is the LCCF4-38D-L listed as obsolete?

A: The LCCF4-38D-L has been discontinued from active production by Panduit Corp. The LCCX4-38D-L represents the current production equivalent within the Pan-Lug™ series.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging for these parts?

A: The LCCF4-38D-L is supplied in standard packaging, while the LCCX4-38D-L is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference affects order quantities and handling but does not impact the component specifications or performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 4 AWG wire gauge and feature identical barrel inner diameter (0.280") and ring ID (0.410"), confirming equivalent wire termination capacity.

Q: Can the LCCX4-38D-L be used in applications requiring the exact dimensions of the LCCF4-38D-L?

A: The LCCX4-38D-L has a shorter overall length (3.090" vs. 3.350") and reduced barrel outer diameter (0.380" vs. 0.460"). Applications with strict spatial constraints or specific dimensional requirements should evaluate these differences against design specifications. The stud connection interface dimensions remain identical.
