Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCCX4-38BF-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: 4 AWG specification must be maintained to ensure proper current-carrying capacity and crimp barrel dimensional compatibility.

Stud/Tab Size: The 3/8 inch stud dimension is a fixed mechanical interface requirement that cannot be altered without redesign of the mating assembly.

Terminal Type and Style: Rectangular tongue configuration with two stud holes defines the mechanical form factor and mounting interface.

Electrical Specifications: Copper contact material with electro-tin finish ensures consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance across substitute parts.

Barrel Dimensions: The barrel ID of 0.280 inches and OD of 0.380 inches are critical for wire gauge accommodation and crimp tool compatibility.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for applications subject to environmental regulations.

The LCCX4-38D-L meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing direct functional equivalence to the obsolete LCCX4-38BF-L.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCCX4-38D-L is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCCX4-38BF-L. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The LCCX4-38D-L maintains active product status with Panduit Corp, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Both parts comply with ROHS3 environmental standards and carry REACH unaffected designation, satisfying regulatory requirements for applications in regulated industries. The electrical performance characteristics, including contact material composition, finish specification, and current-carrying capacity for 4 AWG wire, are equivalent between the two parts.

The primary distinction between the parts is product lifecycle status: the LCCX4-38BF-L is obsolete, while the LCCX4-38D-L is actively manufactured and distributed. For new designs or component replenishment, the LCCX4-38D-L should be specified to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturing consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCCX4-38D-L be used as a direct replacement for the LCCX4-38BF-L in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The LCCX4-38D-L is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCCX4-38BF-L across all specified parameters. Both components feature identical wire gauge (4 AWG), stud size (3/8 inch), barrel dimensions, contact material, and finish specifications. Direct substitution is supported without assembly modification.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility for this terminal type?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: wire gauge (4 AWG), stud/tab size (3/8 inch), terminal type (rectangular tongue), terminal style (two stud holes), barrel dimensions (ID 0.280 inches, OD 0.380 inches), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and termination method (crimp barrel). All these parameters must match between the original and substitute part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the LCCX4-38BF-L and LCCX4-38D-L?

A: The LCCX4-38BF-L packaging specification is not provided in the available data. The LCCX4-38D-L is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCCX4-38BF-L and LCCX4-38D-L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They satisfy environmental and regulatory requirements for applications subject to these standards.

Q: Why is the LCCX4-38BF-L listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer based on production lifecycle decisions. The LCCX4-38D-L provides equivalent functionality and is actively manufactured, making it the appropriate choice for ongoing applications.

Q: What is the current inventory status of these parts?

A: The LCCX4-38BF-L has 789 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The LCCX4-38D-L has 1014 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Inventory levels are subject to change; confirm current availability with your supplier.
