LCD1-38DF-E Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCD1-38DF-E is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 1 AWG wire gauge applications with a 3/8 stud configuration. This component is classified as a Pan-Lug™ series terminal and is currently listed with Obsolete product status. The terminal features a non-insulated design with electro-tin contact finish and copper contact material, suitable for crimp barrel termination applications.

Due to the Obsolete product status of the LCD1-38DF-E, identification of equivalent substitute components is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for applications requiring rectangular tongue terminals with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCD1-38DF-E is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge (1 AWG), barrel inner diameter (0.360"), barrel outer diameter (0.470"), and ring inner diameter (0.410") establish electrical compatibility and current-carrying capacity.

Mechanical Parameters: Stud/tab size (3/8), terminal style (two stud holes), tab thickness (0.110"), and outer width (0.700") ensure mechanical fit and mounting compatibility.

Material & Finish Parameters: Contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and insulation type (non-insulated) determine electrical performance and environmental resistance.

Termination Parameters: Crimp barrel termination method must remain consistent for tooling and assembly compatibility.

The LCD1-38D-E meets all substitution criteria as an equivalent component within the Pan-Lug™ series, with the primary distinction being Active product status versus the Obsolete status of the LCD1-38DF-E.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCD1-38D-E is a direct functional equivalent to the LCD1-38DF-E. Both components share identical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications across all critical parameters. The LCD1-38D-E carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current applications. The transition from LCD1-38DF-E to LCD1-38D-E introduces no technical risk or performance degradation, as all functional parameters remain constant.

Selection of the LCD1-38D-E is appropriate for new designs, redesigns, or replacement applications where the LCD1-38DF-E is no longer procurable due to Obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCD1-38D-E be used as a direct replacement for the LCD1-38DF-E?

A: Yes. The LCD1-38D-E is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical parameters (wire gauge, barrel dimensions, ring dimensions), mechanical parameters (stud size, tab thickness, width), material specifications (copper contact, electro-tin finish), and termination method (crimp barrel) are identical between the two parts.

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

A: The LCD1-38DF-E is classified as Obsolete, while the LCD1-38D-E is Active. This distinction reflects product lifecycle status and supply availability. No technical or performance differences exist between the components.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both the LCD1-38DF-E and LCD1-38D-E maintain identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Will existing tooling and assembly processes work with the LCD1-38D-E?

A: Yes. The LCD1-38D-E maintains identical mechanical dimensions and termination specifications. Crimp barrel tooling, mounting fixtures, and assembly procedures require no modification.

Q: Are there inventory or packaging considerations?

A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Current inventory levels differ (LCD1-38DF-E: 1058 Pcs; LCD1-38D-E: 986 Pcs), but both are available as New Original stock.

Q: Can the LCD1-38D-E be used in applications originally designed for the LCD1-38DF-E?

A: Yes. The LCD1-38D-E is suitable for all applications where the LCD1-38DF-E was specified, as all functional and performance parameters are equivalent.
