LCC350-38DF-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCC350-38DF-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with a 3/8 stud configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The terminal features a two-stud hole design, electro-tin contact finish, and copper construction suitable for high-amperage electrical connections. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary due to the obsolete product status, ensuring continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new installations requiring compatible rectangular tongue terminals with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCC350-38DF-X is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part LCC350-38D-X qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following matching criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge (350MCM), stud size (3/8), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), barrel dimensions (ID 0.700", OD 0.880"), and ring ID (0.410") are identical across both parts.

Mechanical Parameters: Terminal type (rectangular tongue), terminal style (two stud holes), tab thickness (0.170"), width (1.280"), and termination method (crimp, barrel) are identical.

Compliance Parameters: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Distinguishing Factor: The primary difference is product status: LCC350-38DF-X is obsolete, while LCC350-38D-X is active. The substitute part includes a specified overall length of 4.810" (122.17mm), whereas the main part does not provide this dimension. Mounting type differs slightly: the main part specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle," while the substitute specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)."

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC350-38D-X is the direct substitute for the obsolete LCC350-38DF-X. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Compliance Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected classification, ensuring regulatory compatibility in applications requiring these certifications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical parameters determining terminal function and compatibility are identical: wire gauge (350MCM), stud size (3/8), barrel dimensions, ring ID, contact material, contact finish, and termination method. These parameters ensure direct functional interchangeability in existing circuit designs and installations.

Product Status Advantage: The substitute part LCC350-38D-X carries active product status, ensuring continued availability, supply chain reliability, and manufacturer support. This addresses the primary limitation of the obsolete main part.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging is not specified. Bulk packaging is standard for high-amperage terminal connectors and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCC350-38D-X be used as a direct replacement for LCC350-38DF-X?

A: Yes. The LCC350-38D-X is a direct substitute. All electrical parameters (wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, contact finish) and mechanical parameters (terminal type, tab thickness, width, termination method) are identical. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status. LCC350-38DF-X is obsolete, while LCC350-38D-X is active. The substitute part includes a specified overall length of 4.810" (122.17mm). The mounting type designation differs slightly between the two parts.

Q: Are the barrel and ring dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical barrel ID (0.700"), barrel OD (0.880"), and ring ID (0.410") dimensions, ensuring compatibility with 350MCM wire and 3/8 stud applications.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect performance?

A: No. The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for this terminal category. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-amperage applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are designed for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge applications with copper construction and electro-tin contact finish, suitable for high-amperage electrical connections.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The LCC350-38D-X is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the main part. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: Can these terminals be used in both free-hanging and right-angle mounting configurations?

A: The main part specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle" mounting type. The substitute part specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)" mounting type. Verify mounting configuration requirements for your specific application.
