Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCCX2-38DF-E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: 2 AWG wire gauge specification must be maintained to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and crimp barrel dimensions.

Stud Configuration: 3/8 stud size is a fixed mechanical requirement for mounting compatibility with receiving hardware.

Terminal Geometry: Rectangular tongue terminal type with two stud holes defines the physical form factor and electrical interface.

Electrical Properties: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures consistent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Termination Method: Crimp and barrel termination requires matching barrel inner diameter (0.360") and outer diameter (0.470") specifications.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for applications subject to these regulatory frameworks.

The substitute part LCCX2-38D-E shares all critical parameters with the main part, with the distinction that it maintains active product status and differs in mounting type classification and overall length specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCCX2-38D-E is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete LCCX2-38DF-E. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters that determine terminal performance and compatibility.

Product Status Consideration: The LCCX2-38D-E maintains active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability (1063 pieces in stock), whereas the LCCX2-38DF-E is obsolete. For new designs or replenishment of existing applications, the LCCX2-38D-E is the appropriate selection.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with applications subject to these regulatory requirements.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Identical wire gauge (2 AWG), stud configuration (3/8), barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications confirm that the LCCX2-38D-E provides equivalent electrical performance and mechanical fit for all applications currently using the LCCX2-38DF-E.

Packaging Consideration: The LCCX2-38D-E is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging specification is not provided. Procurement processes should account for this packaging difference when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCCX2-38D-E be used as a direct replacement for the LCCX2-38DF-E?

A: Yes. The LCCX2-38D-E is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCCX2-38DF-E across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, terminal geometry, barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications. The substitute part is suitable for all applications currently using the obsolete part.

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

A: The LCCX2-38DF-E is obsolete, while the LCCX2-38D-E maintains active product status with current availability. The LCCX2-38D-E is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: No. Both the LCCX2-38DF-E and LCCX2-38D-E maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two parts.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the main part and substitute are designed for 2 AWG wire gauge applications. This specification determines the barrel inner diameter (0.360") and overall terminal current-carrying capacity.

Q: What is the stud size for this terminal?

A: Both parts feature a 3/8 stud configuration, which is the mechanical interface point for mounting to receiving hardware.

Q: Is this terminal insulated?

A: No. Both the LCCX2-38DF-E and LCCX2-38D-E are non-insulated terminals. The copper conductor is exposed and finished with electro-tin plating.

Q: What termination method is used for these terminals?

A: Both parts utilize crimp and barrel termination. The barrel inner diameter is 0.360" and outer diameter is 0.470", which must match the crimping tool specifications.

Q: What is the contact material and finish?

A: Both terminals feature copper contact material with electro-tin finish, providing consistent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for reliable long-term performance.
