TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 2600030-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 2600030-4 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with a 4.50mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This component features crimp contact termination and latch holder fastening, with sealed construction and blue polyamide insulation material rated for -55°C to 125°C operation.

The 2600030-4 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements for systems utilizing this connector housing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2600030-4 are identified based on functional equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle housing
• Number of positions: 4
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging in-line
• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Latch holder
• Insulation material composition: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected

Substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the DT and DT-XT series connector families. Variations in color, sealing features, and product status do not affect functional interchangeability for housing applications where contacts are supplied separately.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs:

The DT04-4P-C015 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 2600030-4. This part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The DT04-4P-C015 provides enhanced sealing specifications (IP68, IP6K9K) and reduced wire seals, offering improved environmental protection compared to the original part. Both parts share identical operating temperature ranges, insulation materials, and regulatory compliance certifications.

For Legacy System Support:

The 1-2448112-3 serves as an alternative substitute with active product status. While specific mechanical and electrical parameters are not fully detailed in available documentation, this part is designated as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent and maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original 2600030-4. Selection between substitutes should prioritize the DT04-4P-C015 for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing or where the improved IP rating provides system-level benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-4P-C015 directly replace the 2600030-4 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-position receptacle housings with identical pitch (4.50mm), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch holder). The primary difference is color (gray versus blue) and enhanced sealing features on the DT04-4P-C015. Functional interchangeability is maintained for housing applications where contacts are supplied separately.

Q: What is the significance of the DT04-4P-C015 having IP68 and IP6K9K ratings?

A: These ratings indicate enhanced environmental sealing performance. IP68 specifies protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. IP6K9K indicates resistance to high-pressure water jets. These features provide superior environmental protection compared to the sealed design of the 2600030-4, making the DT04-4P-C015 suitable for more demanding environmental conditions.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (2600030-4, 1-2448112-3, and DT04-4P-C015) are housings only. Contacts must be sourced and crimped separately. Ensure that replacement contacts are compatible with the 4.50mm pitch and crimp termination specifications.

Q: Why is the 2600030-4 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors has discontinued active production and support for this part. The DT04-4P-C015 and 1-2448112-3 represent current-generation alternatives that provide equivalent or enhanced functionality while maintaining ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between the substitute parts?

A: The DT04-4P-C015 is supplied in bulk packaging. The 1-2448112-3 packaging specification is not detailed in available documentation. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process when selecting between substitutes.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 2600030-4, 1-2448112-3, and DT04-4P-C015 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory alignment across all three options.
