TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4DB-P207-06 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4DB-P207-06 is a 6-circuit barrier block terminal connector with 0.325" (8.26mm) pitch spacing, designed for chassis and panel mounting applications. This connector features dual-wall barrier construction, screw termination on the top, and PC pin termination on the bottom. The part is currently active in production and widely used in industrial control, power distribution, and signal routing applications where reliable electrical connections are required.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent functional performance can be achieved within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters, or when the main part requires sourcing alternatives due to inventory constraints or application-specific requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4DB-P207-06 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility within the terminal block category. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Circuits: 6
• Pitch: 0.325" (8.26mm)
• Terminal Block Type: Barrier Block
• Top Termination: Screws
• Bottom Termination: PC Pin
• Barrier Type: 2 Wall (Dual)
• Mounting Type: Chassis, Panel; Through Hole
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed the application requirement (minimum 15A acceptable for reduced-current applications)
• Voltage Rating: Substitute must meet or exceed the application requirement (higher voltage ratings are acceptable)
• Wire Gauge: Substitute range must accommodate the required conductor sizes
• Operating Temperature: Substitute must support the required operating range
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic or Polypropylene (PP) both acceptable with UL94 V-0 rating
• RoHS/REACH Compliance: Active compliance status required

The Curtis Industries 325010-06-0 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct substitute for the 4DB-P207-06.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4DB-P207-06

The 4DB-P207-06 is the recommended primary selection for applications requiring:

• Current capacity up to 20A
• Wire gauge acceptance of 12 AWG conductors
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C
• Active product status with established supply chain

Substitute Part: Curtis Industries 325010-06-0

The Curtis Industries 325010-06-0 is an acceptable substitute when:

• Application current requirement does not exceed 15A
• Wire gauge range is limited to 14-22 AWG (12 AWG not required)
• Operating temperature minimum of -40°C is not required
• Higher voltage rating (300V vs. 150V) is beneficial or neutral to the application
• ROHS3 compliance is preferred over RoHS Compliant status
• Alternative manufacturer sourcing is necessary

Both parts maintain identical mechanical pitch, circuit count, termination methods, barrier construction, and flammability ratings. Both are active products with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Curtis Industries 325010-06-0 be used in place of the TE Connectivity 4DB-P207-06 in all applications?

A: No. The Curtis Industries substitute is limited to applications where the current requirement does not exceed 15A and wire gauge does not include 12 AWG conductors. The TE Connectivity part supports 20A current and 12-22 AWG wire gauge. Verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification in terminal block selection?

A: Pitch (0.325" or 8.26mm) determines the physical spacing between circuits and is critical for PCB hole alignment, mounting hole positioning, and mechanical fit within the chassis or panel. Both parts share identical pitch specifications and are mechanically interchangeable in this regard.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 4DB-P207-06 specifies an operating range of -40°C to 105°C. The Curtis Industries 325010-06-0 specifies only 105°C without a stated minimum temperature. Applications requiring operation below 0°C should use the TE Connectivity part unless the Curtis Industries minimum temperature is confirmed through the manufacturer.

Q: What does the 2 Wall (Dual) barrier type mean?

A: The 2 Wall (Dual) barrier type indicates that each circuit is electrically isolated from adjacent circuits by dual-wall insulation barriers. This provides enhanced electrical isolation and safety. Both substitute parts feature identical barrier construction.

Q: Why does the Curtis Industries part accept only 14-22 AWG while the TE Connectivity part accepts 12-22 AWG?

A: Wire gauge acceptance is determined by the internal screw terminal design and clamping mechanism. The TE Connectivity part accommodates larger 12 AWG conductors, while the Curtis Industries part is designed for 14-22 AWG range. Applications using 12 AWG conductors require the TE Connectivity part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 4DB-P207-06 is RoHS Compliant. The Curtis Industries 325010-06-0 is ROHS3 Compliant, which is the current RoHS standard. Both meet RoHS requirements; ROHS3 represents the updated compliance standard.

Q: What is the difference between Thermoplastic and Polypropylene (PP) insulation materials?

A: Both materials are acceptable for this application and both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Thermoplastic is a general category of plastics that soften when heated. Polypropylene (PP) is a specific thermoplastic material. Both provide equivalent electrical insulation and safety performance in this terminal block application.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, provided the application requirements fall within the Curtis Industries part specifications (≤15A current, 14-22 AWG wire gauge, and no requirement for -40°C minimum temperature). The identical pitch, circuit count, and termination methods ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility on the PCB.

Q: What does PC Pin termination mean?

A: PC Pin termination refers to pins designed for insertion into printed circuit board (PCB) holes for through-hole mounting. The pins are soldered to the PCB traces to establish electrical connection. Both parts feature identical PC Pin bottom termination.

Q: Is the higher voltage rating of the Curtis Industries part (300V vs. 150V) a concern?

A: No. A higher voltage rating is not a disadvantage and does not affect performance in applications using lower voltages. The Curtis Industries part with 300V rating is suitable for all applications requiring 150V or less.
