Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LCDX350-38DF-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Wire Gauge: 350MCM (kcmil) — must match exactly for current-carrying capacity
• Stud/Tab Size: 3/8 Stud — must match for mechanical mounting compatibility
• Terminal Type: Rectangular Tongue — must match for connection interface
• Terminal Style: Two Stud Holes — must match for mounting configuration
• Termination Method: Crimp, Barrel — must match for assembly process compatibility
• Contact Material and Finish: Copper with Electro-Tin — must match for electrical performance and corrosion resistance
• Barrel Dimensions (ID/OD) and Ring ID: Must match for wire accommodation and stud engagement
• Tab Thickness: 0.220" (5.59mm) — must match for mechanical fit in assemblies

The LCDX350-38D-6 satisfies all substitution criteria as an active product with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LCDX350-38D-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete LCDX350-38DF-6. Both components are manufactured by Panduit Corp within the Pan-Lug™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The LCDX350-38DF-6 is classified as obsolete, while the LCDX350-38D-6 maintains active product status. This distinction ensures continued availability, manufacturing support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming suitability for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.

Inventory Availability: The LCDX350-38D-6 is available in higher inventory quantities (1098 pcs) compared to the obsolete LCDX350-38DF-6 (660 pcs), supporting procurement reliability for new designs and production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LCDX350-38D-6 be used as a direct replacement for the LCDX350-38DF-6?

A: Yes. The LCDX350-38D-6 is a direct equivalent substitute. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including wire gauge (350MCM), stud size (3/8), terminal type (rectangular tongue), barrel dimensions, and contact specifications. The substitute is an active product, whereas the original is obsolete.

Q: What are the key differences between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status: LCDX350-38DF-6 is obsolete, while LCDX350-38D-6 is active. The overall length specification differs (not provided for the main part; 3.730" for the substitute), but all other mechanical and electrical parameters are identical. The mounting type for the main part includes "Right Angle" designation, while the substitute specifies "Free Hanging (In-Line)" only.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp, share identical wire gauge (350MCM), stud configuration (3/8), terminal style (two stud holes), and all dimensional specifications for barrel and ring engagement. Both are non-insulated copper terminals with electro-tin finish.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The obsolete status of LCDX350-38DF-6 indicates it is no longer in active production. The LCDX350-38D-6 active status ensures ongoing manufacturing availability, technical support, and compliance with current regulatory requirements. For new designs and procurement, the active substitute is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the LCDX350-38DF-6 and LCDX350-38D-6 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and assigned HTSUS code 8536.90.4000. Regulatory compliance is identical between the two parts.

Q: What wire gauge and stud size do these terminals accommodate?

A: Both terminals are designed for 350MCM (kcmil) wire gauge with a 3/8 stud configuration. The barrel inner diameter is 0.840" (21.34mm) and outer diameter is 1.060" (26.92mm), accommodating the specified wire gauge. The ring inner diameter is 0.410" (10.41mm) for stud engagement.

Q: Is the LCDX350-38D-6 available in sufficient quantities for production use?

A: Yes. The LCDX350-38D-6 is available in 1098 pieces as new original stock, providing adequate inventory for production requirements and design transitions from the obsolete LCDX350-38DF-6.
