Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCAXF4/0-38-X is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant across equivalent parts:

• Wire Gauge: 4/0 AWG (determines current-carrying capacity and barrel dimensions)
• Stud Size: 3/8 Stud (determines mechanical mounting compatibility)
• Manufacturer: Panduit Corp (ensures design consistency within the Pan-Lug™ series)
• Series: Pan-Lug™ (maintains product line compatibility)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (export control consistency)

The substitute part LCAX4/0-38-X maintains all critical parameters while offering an active product status with documented electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCAX4/0-38-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCAXF4/0-38-X based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status within the Panduit Pan-Lug™ series, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, confirming equivalence for regulatory and export control purposes.

Critical Specifications: Wire gauge (4/0 AWG) and stud size (3/8) are identical across both parts, establishing mechanical and electrical compatibility for the intended application.

Series Consistency: Both components belong to the Pan-Lug™ product line manufactured by Panduit Corp, ensuring design continuity and interchangeability within existing assemblies.

The substitute part provides complete functional equivalence with enhanced documentation of electrical and mechanical parameters compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes LCAX4/0-38-X a suitable substitute for LCAXF4/0-38-X?

A: Both parts share identical wire gauge (4/0 AWG), stud size (3/8), manufacturer (Panduit Corp), series designation (Pan-Lug™), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3). The substitute part is active and fully documented, whereas the original is obsolete.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions compatible between these two parts?

A: The substitute part LCAX4/0-38-X provides complete dimensional specifications including tab thickness (0.160"), overall length (2.530"), barrel ID (0.650"), and ring ID (0.410"). These dimensions are consistent with 4/0 AWG and 3/8 stud specifications required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between LCAXF4/0-38-X and LCAX4/0-38-X?

A: The primary difference is product status: LCAXF4/0-38-X is obsolete, while LCAX4/0-38-X is active. The substitute part features a rectangular tongue terminal type with single stud hole configuration, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material.

Q: Can LCAX4/0-38-X be used in applications originally designed for LCAXF4/0-38-X?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical wire gauge and stud size requirements, maintain equivalent regulatory compliance, and belong to the same manufacturer series. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The LCAX4/0-38-X is supplied in bulk packaging with 1058 pieces available in new original stock.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, identical ECCN classification (EAR99), and identical HTSUS codes (8536.90.4000). Moisture sensitivity level is not applicable for both parts.
