Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF11-4DEP-2C serves as the direct active equivalent to the obsolete DF11-4DEP-2C(17). Substitution is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Base product series: DF11
• Number of positions: 4
• Pitch specification: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Connector type: Plug housing
• Contact configuration: Male pin
• Row configuration: 2 rows with 0.079" (2.00mm) row spacing
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Contact termination method: Crimp

The substitute part DF11-4DEP-2C maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and full inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-4DEP-2C is the direct active substitute for the obsolete DF11-4DEP-2C(17). Selection is based on:

• Identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status with full manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance certification
• REACH unaffected status
• Significantly higher inventory availability (379020 units versus 1053 units)
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) providing superior moisture handling characteristics

For new designs and procurement of replacement components, the DF11-4DEP-2C should be specified. Existing designs utilizing the DF11-4DEP-2C(17) can transition to this active equivalent without modification.
