The part number 38562H appears in an NSN family that also lists 3549J, 1K2622, 5261758, JT10866, 10300B, and 1400948 for 2520-00-368-6961, underscoring its role as a universal-joint component in vehicular power-transmission systems. Market listings identify the 38562H as U-joint lock plates and frequently note Dana Spicer (Spicer) as the aftermarket supplier; several listings indicate New Old Stock (NOS) condition. In practice, this plate serves as part of the locking interface that secures U-joint caps within compatible universal-joint assemblies used on heavy-duty drivetrains. Because it carries an NSN and appears in multiple part-number listings, the 38562H is commonly sought for replacement in legacy heavy-truck or industrial driveline maintenance where accurate fitment matters.
