Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LCC400-38DF-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must support 400MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit within the barrel crimp area.

Stud Configuration: The 3/8 stud size must be maintained to ensure compatibility with mounting hardware and electrical connection points in the target assembly.

Barrel Dimensions: Barrel inner diameter (ID) of 0.760" (19.30mm) and outer diameter (OD) of 0.950" (24.13mm) must be identical to ensure proper wire insertion and crimp tool compatibility.

Ring ID Specification: The ring inner diameter of 0.410" (10.41mm) must remain constant to ensure proper fit on the stud fastener.

Terminal Geometry: Tab thickness of 0.180" (4.57mm) and outer edge width of 1.390" (35.31mm) must be maintained for mechanical fit and electrical performance.

Material and Finish: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures consistent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance across substitute selections.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination must be preserved to maintain compatibility with existing crimping equipment and procedures.

The LCC400-38D-6 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCC400-38D-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCC400-38DF-6. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility.

Product Status Consideration: The LCC400-38DF-6 is classified as Obsolete, while the LCC400-38D-6 maintains Active product status. Selection of the LCC400-38D-6 ensures access to current manufacturing, quality assurance processes, and ongoing availability.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and identical export classification (EAR99). No regulatory or compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Packaging Difference: The LCC400-38D-6 is supplied in Bulk packaging, whereas packaging information for the main part is not specified. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Mounting Configuration: The main part specifies both Free Hanging (In-Line) and Right Angle mounting options. The substitute part specifies Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting. Verify mounting orientation requirements in the target application before final selection.

For new designs and maintenance applications requiring 400MCM rectangular tongue terminals with 3/8 stud configuration, the LCC400-38D-6 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCC400-38D-6 be used as a direct replacement for the LCC400-38DF-6?

A: Yes. The LCC400-38D-6 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for functional equivalence. Both components feature identical wire gauge (400MCM), stud size (3/8), barrel dimensions, tab thickness, and termination method (crimp barrel). The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring current availability and manufacturing support.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The LCC400-38DF-6 is Obsolete, while the LCC400-38D-6 is Active. Additionally, the LCC400-38D-6 specifies an overall length of 4.920" (124.97mm) and Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting, whereas the main part does not provide length specification and lists both Free Hanging (In-Line) and Right Angle mounting options. Packaging differs: the substitute is supplied in Bulk format.

Q: Are the barrel dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both the LCC400-38DF-6 and LCC400-38D-6 feature barrel inner diameter of 0.760" (19.30mm) and barrel outer diameter of 0.950" (24.13mm). Ring inner diameter is 0.410" (10.41mm) for both parts. These dimensions ensure compatibility with 400MCM wire and identical crimp tool specifications.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 400MCM (kcmil) wire gauge, ensuring equivalent current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit within the crimp barrel.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting type difference?

A: The main part (LCC400-38DF-6) lists both Free Hanging (In-Line) and Right Angle mounting options. The substitute (LCC400-38D-6) specifies Free Hanging (In-Line) mounting only. If the application requires Right Angle mounting specifically, verify that the Free Hanging (In-Line) configuration of the substitute part is compatible with the target assembly geometry.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, EAR99 export classification, and HTSUS code (8536.90.4000). No regulatory barriers exist for substitution.

Q: What contact material and finish are used in both parts?

A: Both the LCC400-38DF-6 and LCC400-38D-6 feature copper contact material with electro-tin finish. This ensures consistent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and performance across both components.

Q: Is the LCC400-38D-6 available in stock?

A: According to current inventory data, 809 pieces of the LCC400-38D-6 are available as New Original In Stock in Bulk packaging.
