LCAS4/0-38F-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCAS4/0-38F-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 4/0 AWG wire termination with a 3/8 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method and is constructed with copper contact material finished in electro-tin plating. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is necessary for system maintenance, repair, and component replacement in existing installations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAS4/0-38F-X is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part LCA4/0-38F-X maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

Wire gauge compatibility (4/0 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), termination method (crimp barrel), and all dimensional specifications including tab thickness, barrel inner diameter, barrel outer diameter, and ring inner diameter. Contact material (copper) and contact finish (electro-tin) are identical. Both parts are non-insulated and feature the same mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line, right angle).

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCAS4/0-38F-X is obsolete, while LCA4/0-38F-X is active production. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN, 8536.90.4000 HTSUS code).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCA4/0-38F-X serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAS4/0-38F-X. Selection of the substitute part is supported by complete parameter equivalence across all electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical dimensional tolerances, contact properties, and termination characteristics.

The substitute part LCA4/0-38F-X holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications, confirming environmental and trade compliance equivalence. The transition from LCAS4/0-38F-X to LCA4/0-38F-X presents no functional or performance degradation in applications requiring 4/0 AWG rectangular tongue terminals with 3/8 stud connections.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCA4/0-38F-X be used as a direct replacement for LCAS4/0-38F-X?

A: Yes. The LCA4/0-38F-X is a direct substitute. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge (4/0 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), barrel dimensions, and contact specifications. The primary difference is product status: LCA4/0-38F-X is in active production while LCAS4/0-38F-X is obsolete.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions: tab thickness of 0.140" (3.56mm), outer width of 1.060" (26.92mm), barrel inner diameter of 0.570" (14.48mm), barrel outer diameter of 0.710" (18.03mm), and ring inner diameter of 0.410" (10.41mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both LCAS4/0-38F-X and LCA4/0-38F-X are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under EAR99 ECCN with HTSUS code 8536.90.4000.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: LCAS4/0-38F-X packaging is not specified in available documentation. LCA4/0-38F-X is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging differences do not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature copper contact material with electro-tin finish, ensuring identical electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.
