Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the LCAS2-38F-Q is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:
- Wire gauge capacity (2 AWG)
- Stud size (3/8 stud)
- Terminal type (Rectangular Tongue)
- Termination method (Crimp, Barrel)
- Barrel inner diameter (0.310")
- Barrel outer diameter (0.420")
- Ring inner diameter (0.410")
- Tab thickness (0.100")
- Contact material (Copper)
- Contact finish (Electro-Tin)
- Insulation type (Non-Insulated)
- RoHS compliance (ROHS3)
Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without modification to the application circuit or assembly process.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The LCA2-38F-Q is a direct functional equivalent to the LCAS2-38F-Q. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the LCAS2-38F-Q is obsolete, while the LCA2-38F-Q maintains active status with current manufacturing support.
Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8536.90.4000). The LCA2-38F-Q is the current production equivalent and is the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications where the LCAS2-38F-Q is no longer available.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the LCA2-38F-Q be used as a direct replacement for the LCAS2-38F-Q?
A: Yes. The LCA2-38F-Q meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the LCAS2-38F-Q, including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish. No circuit or assembly modifications are required.
Q: What is the difference between LCAS2-38F-Q and LCA2-38F-Q?
A: The LCAS2-38F-Q is an obsolete part number. The LCA2-38F-Q is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, with identical specifications and current production availability.
Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. Both the LCAS2-38F-Q and LCA2-38F-Q are ROHS3 compliant.
Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?
A: Both parts are rated for 2 AWG wire termination.
Q: What is the stud size for these terminals?
A: Both terminals are designed for 3/8 stud mounting.
Q: What termination method is used?
A: Both parts utilize crimp barrel termination.
Q: Are these terminals insulated?
A: No. Both the LCAS2-38F-Q and LCA2-38F-Q are non-insulated terminals.
Q: What is the contact material and finish?
A: Both terminals feature copper contact material with electro-tin finish.
