Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX3/0-38D-X is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete LCDX3/0-38DF-X. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including wire gauge, stud size, barrel dimensions, and contact properties. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

The primary distinction is product status: LCDX3/0-38D-X is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (643 pcs), whereas LCDX3/0-38DF-X is obsolete. The mounting type designation differs slightly between the two parts, with the main part specified as "Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle" and the substitute as "Free Hanging (In-Line)". This distinction does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for applications requiring the specified terminal configuration.

For new designs or component replenishment, LCDX3/0-38D-X is the appropriate selection due to its active status and continued manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LCDX3/0-38D-X be used as a direct replacement for LCDX3/0-38DF-X?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters including wire gauge (3/0 AWG), stud size (3/8), barrel dimensions, and contact specifications. The substitute part is currently active in production.

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