LCD2/0-38DH-X Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCD2/0-38DH-X is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 2/0 AWG wire termination with a 3/8 stud connection. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating that direct procurement from original manufacturing sources may be limited or unavailable. The terminal features a crimp barrel termination method, electro-tin contact finish, and copper contact material suitable for electrical power distribution applications. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for system maintenance, repair, and component replacement in existing installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCD2/0-38DH-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Wire gauge (2/0 AWG)
• Barrel inner diameter (0.450")
• Barrel outer diameter (0.580")
• Ring inner diameter (0.410")
• Contact material (Copper)
• Contact finish (Electro-Tin)
• Termination method (Crimp, Barrel)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Stud/tab size (3/8 Stud)
• Terminal type (Rectangular Tongue)
• Terminal style (Two Stud Holes)
• Tab thickness (0.130")
• Insulation type (Non-Insulated)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status

The substitute part LCD2/0-38D-X maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The primary difference is the mounting type configuration and product status transition from obsolete to active, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCD2/0-38D-X is a direct substitute for the obsolete LCD2/0-38DH-X based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components maintain identical wire gauge capacity, barrel dimensions, contact specifications, and regulatory compliance certifications.

The LCD2/0-38D-X offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electrical component manufacturing and deployment.

The mounting type difference between the main part (45° angle configuration) and the substitute (standard in-line configuration) does not affect the terminal's electrical performance or mechanical compatibility with 3/8 stud connections. This distinction relates to installation orientation and does not impact functional equivalence for applications requiring 2/0 AWG termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCD2/0-38D-X be used as a direct replacement for LCD2/0-38DH-X?

A: Yes. The LCD2/0-38D-X is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the LCD2/0-38DH-X. All critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, contact material, and contact finish are identical. Both components are suitable for 2/0 AWG wire termination on 3/8 stud connections.

Q: What is the difference between the mounting types listed for these parts?

A: The LCD2/0-38DH-X specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line), 45° Angle" while the LCD2/0-38D-X specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)". This difference describes the orientation angle during installation. Both configurations support the same electrical and mechanical connections; the difference relates to physical positioning in the assembly, not functional performance.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the LCD2/0-38DH-X and LCD2/0-38D-X are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electrical component manufacturing and use.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: The LCD2/0-38DH-X is classified as obsolete, indicating that the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The LCD2/0-38D-X remains in active production status, providing a current-generation equivalent with identical specifications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The LCD2/0-38D-X is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Bulk packaging is standard for terminal connectors and supports both individual component selection and high-volume procurement requirements.

Q: Are the barrel dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical barrel specifications: 0.450" inner diameter, 0.580" outer diameter, and 0.410" ring inner diameter. These dimensions ensure compatibility with standard 2/0 AWG wire crimping tools and 3/8 stud mounting hardware.
