Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCCX4-38B-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical Parameters:

• Wire gauge: 4 AWG
• Stud/tab size: 3/8 inch
• Termination method: Crimp, Barrel
• Contact material: Copper
• Contact finish: Electro-Tin

Core Mechanical Parameters:

• Terminal type: Rectangular Tongue
• Terminal style: Two Stud Holes
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated
• Barrel ID: 0.280 inch (7.11mm)
• Barrel OD: 0.380 inch (9.65mm)
• Ring ID: 0.410 inch (10.41mm)
• Tab thickness: 0.080 inch (2.03mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part LCCX4-38D-L maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in overall length and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCCX4-38D-L serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete LCCX4-38B-L. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, termination method, contact material, and contact finish. Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status requirements.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and overall length. The LCCX4-38D-L is classified as active with current manufacturing availability, whereas the LCCX4-38B-L is obsolete. The LCCX4-38D-L exhibits a 0.250 inch (6.35mm) increase in overall length, changing from 2.840 inches to 3.090 inches. This dimensional difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with standard 3/8 inch stud applications.

For new designs and procurement activities, the LCCX4-38D-L is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original LCCX4-38B-L is specified, the LCCX4-38D-L provides functional equivalence with the caveat that installation space must accommodate the increased length dimension.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: The LCCX4-38D-L is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCCX4-38B-L across all critical parameters. The primary consideration is the 0.250 inch increase in overall length. Installation feasibility depends on available mounting space in the specific application. Both parts maintain identical stud size, wire gauge capacity, and contact specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for 4 AWG rectangular tongue terminals?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in wire gauge (4 AWG), stud/tab size (3/8 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp, barrel), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), barrel dimensions (ID 0.280 inch, OD 0.380 inch), ring ID (0.410 inch), and tab thickness (0.080 inch). Compliance certifications including ROHS3 and REACH status must also align.

Q: Why is the LCCX4-38B-L classified as obsolete?

A: The LCCX4-38B-L carries an obsolete product status designation. The LCCX4-38D-L is the active equivalent part currently manufactured and stocked by Panduit Corp, with 1014 pieces available in bulk packaging compared to the legacy part's limited inventory.

Q: Are there packaging differences between LCCX4-38B-L and LCCX4-38D-L?

A: The LCCX4-38D-L is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the LCCX4-38B-L packaging specification is not defined in available documentation. Both parts are available as new original stock from current inventory.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both the LCCX4-38B-L and LCCX4-38D-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated industries.
