Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX250-38DH-X is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire Gauge Compatibility: The substitute part must support 250MCM (kcmil) wire gauge to maintain electrical performance and current-carrying capacity.

Stud/Tab Size: The 3/8 stud dimension is a mechanical interface requirement that must remain constant for mounting compatibility.

Terminal Type and Style: Rectangular tongue configuration with two stud holes ensures mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with existing installations.

Termination Method: Crimp barrel termination must be maintained to ensure compatibility with existing assembly equipment and procedures.

Contact Material and Finish: Copper material with electro-tin finish provides the required electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance characteristics.

Dimensional Specifications: Barrel ID (0.700"), barrel OD (0.880"), ring ID (0.410"), and tab thickness (0.170") must remain consistent to ensure proper fit and electrical connection.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be maintained for regulatory adherence.

The LCDX250-38D-X meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete LCDX250-38DH-X.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX250-38D-X is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete LCDX250-38DH-X based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The LCDX250-38D-X maintains active product status with Panduit Corp, ensuring ongoing availability, technical support, and supply chain continuity. The main part LCDX250-38DH-X is obsolete, making the substitute necessary for procurement and replacement applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters including wire gauge (250MCM), contact material (copper), contact finish (electro-tin), and mechanical dimensions (stud size, barrel dimensions, ring ID) are identical between the main part and substitute.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory adherence for current and future installations.

Termination Compatibility: Both parts utilize crimp barrel termination, ensuring compatibility with existing assembly equipment and procedures without modification.

Dimensional Consistency: The substitute part maintains all critical dimensional specifications required for proper fit and electrical connection in existing installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCDX250-38D-X be used as a direct replacement for the LCDX250-38DH-X?

A: Yes. The LCDX250-38D-X is a direct substitute. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge, stud size, terminal type, contact material, contact finish, and dimensional specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status. The LCDX250-38DH-X is obsolete, while the LCDX250-38D-X is active.
