LCD8-38DF-L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LCD8-38DF-L is a rectangular tongue terminal connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, designed for 8 AWG wire termination on a 3/8 stud. This component is classified as obsolete and is used in electrical applications requiring crimp barrel termination with non-insulated copper construction. Due to its obsolete product status, identification of active equivalent parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCD8-38DF-L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Wire gauge (8 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and barrel dimensions (ID 0.180", OD 0.270") must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Ring ID (0.410"), tab thickness (0.050"), terminal style (two stud holes), and overall width (0.600") must match exactly.

Material & Compliance Parameters: Non-insulated construction, ROHS3 compliance, and copper contact material must be maintained.

The substitute part LCD8-38D-L shares all critical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications with the main part. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and mounting type classification (free hanging in-line versus free hanging in-line with right angle designation on the main part).

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Inventory & Availability: The LCD8-38D-L is available in bulk packaging with 972 pieces in stock, compared to the obsolete LCD8-38DF-L with 646 pieces in stock. The active status of LCD8-38D-L ensures continued availability for future procurement cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCD8-38D-L be used as a direct replacement for LCD8-38DF-L?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wire gauge (8 AWG), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), barrel dimensions, ring ID, tab thickness, and contact specifications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

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

A: The LCD8-38DF-L is obsolete, while the LCD8-38D-L is active. The mounting type designation differs slightly between the two part numbers, but the functional terminal specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between LCD8-38DF-L and LCD8-38D-L?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The LCD8-38D-L is supplied in bulk packaging, with 972 pieces currently in stock.

Q: Are the barrel and ring dimensions identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Barrel ID (0.180"), barrel OD (0.270"), and ring ID (0.410") are identical across both components.

Q: Can these terminals be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The LCD8-38D-L maintains all critical dimensional and electrical specifications required for direct substitution in applications currently using the LCD8-38DF-L.

Q: What wire gauge does this terminal accommodate?

A: Both the LCD8-38DF-L and LCD8-38D-L are designed for 8 AWG wire termination using crimp barrel methodology.
