LCD4-12-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCD4-12-L is a copper compression lug terminal manufactured by Panduit Corp, classified within the Pan-Lug™ series. This component functions as a rectangular tongue terminal connector designed for 2-4 AWG wire gauges with a 1/2 inch stud configuration and two stud holes for mounting. The part is currently listed as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this terminal type. The LCD4-12-L features crimp barrel termination, electro-tin contact finish, and non-insulated construction suitable for copper wire applications.

The substitute part LCC4-12W-L maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in tab thickness specification and product status classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC4-12W-L serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete LCD4-12-L. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge compatibility, stud configuration, barrel dimensions, and overall form factor. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCD4-12-L is obsolete while LCC4-12W-L is active. Additionally, the tab thickness differs between the two parts (0.120" versus 0.070"), though both maintain the same stud hole configuration and mounting characteristics.

For new designs and ongoing procurement requirements, LCC4-12W-L is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and continued availability. The part is manufactured by the same supplier within the same product series, ensuring consistency in manufacturing standards and quality control protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCC4-12W-L be used as a direct replacement for LCD4-12-L in existing applications?

A: LCC4-12W-L maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge (2-4 AWG), stud size (1/2 inch), barrel dimensions, and mounting configuration. The parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring rectangular tongue terminals with two stud holes and crimp barrel termination.

Q: What is the significance of the tab thickness difference between LCD4-12-L and LCC4-12W-L?

A: The tab thickness differs at 0.120" (3.05mm) for LCD4-12-L and 0.070" (1.78mm) for LCC4-12W-L. Both thicknesses accommodate the same stud hole configuration and mounting requirements. The difference reflects design evolution within the Pan-Lug™ series while maintaining functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both LCD4-12-L and LCC4-12W-L are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What packaging is available for LCC4-12W-L?

A: LCC4-12W-L is supplied in bulk packaging, differing from the standard packaging designation of LCD4-12-L.

Q: Why is LCD4-12-L listed as obsolete?

A: LCD4-12-L has been discontinued by the manufacturer. LCC4-12W-L represents the active product line continuation within the Pan-Lug™ series, offering the same functional capabilities with current manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Are the barrel inner and outer diameters identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical barrel specifications: inner diameter of 0.280" (7.11mm) and outer diameter of 0.380" (9.65mm), ensuring compatibility with standard crimp tooling and wire termination equipment.

Q: What is the ring inner diameter for both parts?

A: Both LCD4-12-L and LCC4-12W-L feature a ring inner diameter of 0.530" (13.46mm), compatible with 1/2 inch stud applications.
