LCD4-12H-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCD4-12H-L is a copper compression lug terminal manufactured by Panduit Corp, part of the Pan-Lug™ series. This component is a rectangular tongue terminal connector designed for 2-4 AWG wire gauges with a 1/2" stud mounting configuration and two stud holes. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method and electro-tin contact finish on copper material. The LCD4-12H-L is classified as obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain circuit continuity and ensure procurement availability for applications requiring this terminal specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCD4-12H-L with the LCC4-12W-L is based on equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge range: 2-4 AWG (identical)
• Stud/tab size: 1/2 Stud (identical)
• Termination method: Crimp, Barrel (identical)
• Contact material: Copper (identical)
• Contact finish: Electro-Tin (identical)
• Barrel ID: 0.280" (7.11mm) (identical)
• Barrel OD: 0.380" (9.65mm) (identical)
• Ring ID: 0.530" (13.46mm) (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Terminal type: Rectangular Tongue (identical)
• Terminal style: Two Stud Holes (identical)
• Insulation: Non-Insulated (identical)
• Color: Gray (identical)

The LCC4-12W-L maintains functional equivalence for all electrical and mechanical connection requirements. Differences in tab thickness and mounting angle do not affect the core termination and stud connection functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC4-12W-L is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCD4-12H-L. Selection of the LCC4-12W-L is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The LCD4-12H-L carries obsolete status, making the active LCC4-12W-L the appropriate replacement for ongoing procurement and new applications.

Regulatory Compliance: The LCC4-12W-L provides documented ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The LCD4-12H-L compliance documentation is not specified.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters for terminal function are identical between the two parts, including wire gauge range, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and termination method.

Availability: The LCC4-12W-L is listed as active inventory with 918 pieces in stock, ensuring supply continuity compared to the obsolete LCD4-12H-L.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCC4-12W-L directly replace the LCD4-12H-L in existing applications?

A: Yes. The LCC4-12W-L maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence across all critical parameters: wire gauge (2-4 AWG), stud size (1/2"), barrel dimensions, contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp, barrel). Both terminals are non-insulated rectangular tongue connectors with two stud holes.

Q: What are the differences between the LCD4-12H-L and LCC4-12W-L?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Tab thickness: LCD4-12H-L is 0.120" (3.05mm) versus LCC4-12W-L at 0.070" (1.78mm); (2) Mounting angle: LCD4-12H-L includes 45° angle specification while LCC4-12W-L is standard in-line; (3) Product status: LCD4-12H-L is obsolete while LCC4-12W-L is active; (4) Regulatory documentation: LCC4-12W-L includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH status certification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LCD4-12H-L packaging is listed as unspecified, while the LCC4-12W-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for active production terminals.

Q: Do both parts share the same base product number?

A: No. The LCD4-12H-L has base product number LCD4, while the LCC4-12W-L has base product number LCC4. Both are part of the Pan-Lug™ series from Panduit Corp.

Q: What is the significance of the tab thickness difference?

A: The tab thickness difference (0.120" versus 0.070") reflects design evolution within the Pan-Lug™ series. This difference does not affect the electrical connection at the stud interface or the barrel crimp termination, as the critical dimensions (barrel ID, barrel OD, ring ID) remain identical.

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

A: Yes. Both the LCD4-12H-L and LCC4-12W-L are rated for 2-4 AWG wire gauges with identical barrel dimensions (0.280" ID, 0.380" OD), ensuring equivalent crimping performance and electrical conductivity.
