Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 60HA4F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Position count: 4 positions
• Shell size and insert: DIN (210 Degree)
• Mounting configuration: Panel mount with flange
• Termination method: Solder eyelet(s)
• Fastening mechanism: Push-twist
• Orientation: D
• Shell material: Steel
• Contact finish: Tin
• Shielding: Shielded
• Insert material: Plastic

The 60HA4FX meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct substitute for the 60HA4F.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 60HA4FX is the direct substitute for the 60HA4F. Key selection factors:

• The 60HA4F is obsolete; the 60HA4FX is active and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility.
• The 60HA4FX achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the 60HA4F is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 60HA4FX is the appropriate choice.
• Both parts share identical connector specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility in existing designs.
• The 60HA4FX is available in bulk packaging with higher inventory levels (1736 units), supporting production and procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 60HA4FX replace the 60HA4F in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 60HA4FX is mechanically and electrically identical to the 60HA4F across all specified parameters, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, and shielding. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The 60HA4F is obsolete, while the 60HA4FX is active. Additionally, the 60HA4FX meets ROHS3 compliance standards, whereas the 60HA4F does not. Both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 60HA4F packaging is unspecified in available documentation. The 60HA4FX is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 60HA4FX should be selected for new designs due to its active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and higher inventory availability.
