Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF11-4DEP-2C(16) and DF11-4DEP-2C electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including 4-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, male pin contact type, and crimp termination. They are functionally equivalent for circuit applications.

Q: Can DF11-4DEP-2C be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical mechanical dimensions, mounting type (panel mount, snap-in), and row spacing. No PCB or assembly modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The active status of DF11-4DEP-2C ensures continued manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply availability. Obsolete parts face discontinuation risk and potential supply constraints.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part DF11-4DEP-2C includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. These certifications reflect current regulatory standards and are applicable to new designs and procurement.

Q: Does the MSL rating difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The MSL 1 rating of the substitute part indicates superior moisture protection compared to the obsolete part's not applicable rating. This represents an improvement for storage and handling conditions.

Q: Are contacts included with the DF11-4DEP-2C housing?

A: No. The housing is supplied without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Hirose specifications.
