TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 934442209 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 934442209 is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the DT-XT series. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating that it is no longer in active production. The housing is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications with crimp contact termination and latch holder fastening. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for ongoing production, maintenance, and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 934442209 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 3
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part DT04-3P maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence. The primary differences are the connector series designation (DT versus DT-XT), housing color (Gray versus Red), and enhanced environmental protection features (IP68, IP6K9K ratings). These differences do not affect the core substitution relationship for applications requiring a 3-position rectangular receptacle housing with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DT04-3P is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 934442209. This substitution is supported by the following engineering considerations:

Product Status Alignment: The 934442209 is classified as obsolete, while the DT04-3P maintains active production status. This ensures long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with current environmental and regulatory requirements across global markets.

Functional Equivalence: The DT04-3P preserves all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including the 3-position configuration, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Enhanced Environmental Protection: The DT04-3P incorporates IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, providing superior environmental sealing compared to the sealed design of the 934442209. This enhancement does not compromise backward compatibility and extends application suitability to more demanding environmental conditions.

Series Transition: The transition from the DT-XT series to the DT series represents a product line modernization by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, with the DT04-3P representing the current generation equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-3P directly replace the 934442209 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The DT04-3P maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional equivalence, including connector type, contact configuration, number of positions, mounting type, contact termination method, and operating temperature range. The housing color difference (Gray versus Red) and enhanced environmental protection features do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the IP68 and IP6K9K ratings on the DT04-3P?

A: IP68 indicates protection against continuous immersion in water up to specified depths, while IP6K9K indicates protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings represent enhanced environmental sealing compared to the sealed design of the 934442209. Applications requiring standard sealing are fully compatible with these enhanced ratings.

Q: Are the contacts interchangeable between the 934442209 and DT04-3P?

A: Both parts use crimp contact termination and are designed for the same contact type (Male Pin). Contacts specified for the DT04-3P series are compatible with the DT04-3P housing. Verify contact part numbers against the specific application requirements, as both housings are supplied without contacts included.

Q: Why is the 934442209 classified as obsolete?

A: The 934442209 belongs to the DT-XT series, which has been superseded by the current DT series. TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors has transitioned production to the DT04-3P and related DT series components, which offer equivalent functionality with enhanced environmental protection and active production support.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 934442209 is supplied in unspecified packaging, while the DT04-3P is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are available in new original condition. Packaging selection should be based on production volume and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No compliance or certification differences exist that would affect component selection for regulated applications.
