Panduit LCA8-38-L Pan-Lug™ Compression Lug, Tin-Plated Copper, 3/8" Stud

The Panduit LCA8-38-L Pan-Lug™ is a straight-tongue compression lug built from tin-plated copper for reliable, low-resistance terminations on 8 AWG copper conductors. It features one 3/8" stud hole with a beveled barrel entry and inspection window to confirm proper conductor seating before crimping. The lug is UL Listed to 486A-486B (File #E52164) and rated for use up to 35kV maximum voltage, making it a dependable choice for industrial, commercial, and utility electrical connections. Sold in a convenient pack of 50 (PK50) for panel shops, contractors, and MRO stock.

Key Features

  • Stud Size: One 3/8" stud hole (9.5mm) sized for secure busbar and ground connections.
  • Durable Construction: Tin-plated copper barrel and tongue resist corrosion and maintain consistent conductivity over time.
  • Straight Tongue Design: Straight tongue angle with a 0.6" (15.2mm) width and 0.05" (1.3mm) thickness for a stable, code-compliant termination.
  • Conductor Compatibility: Sized for 8 AWG copper conductors, with a wire strip length of 8-May in. (15.9mm) and a 0.56" (14.2mm) barrel length.
  • Beveled Barrel Entry: Beveled entry with an inspection window simplifies conductor insertion and lets installers verify full seating.
  • Voltage Rating: Rated to a maximum of 35kV; consult the cable manufacturer for voltage stress relief guidance on applications above 20kV.
  • Temperature Rating: UL and CSA temperature rating of 90°C for demanding electrical environments.
  • Color-Coded: Red color coding identifies the 8 AWG conductor size at a glance for faster field identification.

Panduit LCA6-38-L – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pan-Lug LCA8-38-L bolt to a 3/8 inch busbar stud?
Yes. It has a single 3/8 inch (9.5mm) stud hole, so it lands on standard 3/8 inch busbar, ground bar, and switchgear studs. Being a one-hole lug, there is no hole spacing to match; the tongue is straight, 0.6 inch (15.2mm) wide and 0.05 inch (1.3mm) thick, so check you have that much landing pad width on the bar.
2) What die index do I set my crimper to for the Panduit LCA8-38-L?
Panduit die index P21 for the 8 AWG lug, or Burndy die index 49 if you are crimping with Burndy tooling. The lug is also color coded red, which is Panduit's 8 AWG identifier, so you can match die to color in the field.
3) Is the Panduit Pan-Lug tin-plated copper lug rated for 90C conductors?
Yes, both UL and CSA temperature ratings are 90 degrees C, so it suits THHN/THWN-2 and other 90C-rated copper conductor terminations. It is UL Listed to 486A-486B under file E52164 and rated to 35kV maximum. Above 20kV, Panduit directs you to the cable manufacturer for voltage stress relief guidance.
4) Is the Panduit Pan-Lug LCA sold individually or only by the box?
Standard package is 50 pieces, which is how panel shops and MRO stockrooms usually buy them, but the minimum order quantity is 1 piece. Country of origin is Mexico, and the lug is RoHS compliant and ARRA compliant if you are filling a federally funded or procurement-restricted job.
5) I have Burndy Hylug terminations elsewhere in the panel - can I mix in Panduit Pan-Lug lugs on the smaller circuits?
Yes, mixing brands within a panel is normal as long as each lug matches its conductor and stud. The Burndy YA31L Hylug handles the 350 kcmil copper runs on 1/2 inch studs; the Panduit Pan-Lug straight-tongue lugs cover 6 AWG and 8 AWG copper on 3/8 inch studs and are UL Listed to 486A-486B with a 90 degrees C UL and CSA temperature rating. Confirm each crimp is made with the die index the lug calls for.
6) Why choose a tin-plated copper lug instead of bare copper for grounding and bonding?
The tin plating on the Pan-Lug LCA resists corrosion at the bolted interface, which matters on ground bars and outdoor or damp industrial terminations where bare copper oxidizes and resistance creeps up. It also plays nicely against plated busbar hardware. Electrically it is still a solid copper body.
7) Does the Panduit LCA compression lug meet NEBS requirements for telecom installations?
Yes, the Pan-Lug LCA carries NEBS Level 3 and ABS recognition in addition to its UL Listing to 486A-486B. That combination is what central office and marine spec packages typically call for on bonded copper terminations.
