Panduit LCA2-38-Q Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Panduit LCA2-38-Q is a single-hole compression lug designed for terminating 2 AWG stranded copper conductors. It provides a secure, reliable electrical connection essential for power distribution and equipment grounding in industrial environments, including surveillance system power feeds. This lug ensures a low-resistance path, critical for maintaining signal integrity and preventing power loss in demanding applications.

Compatibility

This lug is engineered for use with 2 AWG stranded copper wire. It is suitable for termination onto busbars, grounding points, or power terminals that accept a 1/4-inch stud size. While not specific to any single surveillance camera model, it serves as a foundational component for robust power infrastructure supporting various IP camera systems, NVRs, and associated power distribution units.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and safety, the Panduit LCA2-38-Q requires a specialized Panduit crimping tool (e.g., CT-900, CT-920, CT-940CH) and the appropriate die set for 2 AWG wire. Consult the Panduit installation manual for precise tool and die recommendations. A torque wrench should be used to tighten the lug onto the terminal stud to the manufacturer-specified torque value, typically 150-200 inch-pounds for a 1/4-inch stud, to ensure consistent electrical contact and prevent over-tightening.
