Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAS4/0-38H-X is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part LCA4/0-38H-X maintains identical specifications for wire gauge, stud size, terminal geometry, barrel dimensions, and contact properties. Both components are Pan-Lug™ series terminals with matching crimp barrel termination characteristics and electro-tin copper contact finish.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: LCAS4/0-38H-X is obsolete, while LCA4/0-38H-X is active. The substitute part is packaged in bulk format and carries REACH Unaffected certification, providing regulatory compliance assurance for current procurement requirements.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters are matched:

Wire gauge: 4/0 AWG
Stud/tab size: 3/8 inch
Terminal type: Rectangular tongue
Barrel ID/OD dimensions: 0.570" / 0.710"
Ring ID: 0.410"
Termination method: Crimp, barrel
Contact material and finish: Copper, electro-tin
