Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF57-4S-1.2C(09) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
  • Position Count & Pitch: 4 positions at 0.047" (1.20mm) spacing
  • Mounting & Termination: Free hanging (in-line) mounting with crimp termination
  • Fastening Mechanism: Swing lock fastening type
  • Electrical & Environmental Ratings: MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

The substitute part DF57H-4S-1.2C(08) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, with the primary distinction being its active product status and enhanced documentation support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF57H-4S-1.2C(08) is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF57-4S-1.2C(09). Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

  • Product Status: The substitute maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturer support, whereas the main part is obsolete
  • Regulatory Compliance: The substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
  • Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring direct compatibility in existing applications
  • Documentation & Support: The substitute part includes specified operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C) and insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer), providing enhanced technical documentation

For new designs or system replacements, the DF57H-4S-1.2C(08) is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part number must be retained, the DF57-4S-1.2C(09) remains available in current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF57H-4S-1.2C(08) be used as a direct replacement for the DF57-4S-1.2C(09)?

A: Yes. Both parts are 4-position receptacle housings with 0.047" (1.20mm) pitch, identical mounting type, crimp termination, and swing lock fastening. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match, enabling direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is product status. The DF57-4S-1.2C(09) is obsolete, while the DF57H-4S-1.2C(08) is active. The substitute also includes documented operating temperature range and insulation material specifications, plus ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the main part packaging is not specified. This may affect procurement and handling procedures but does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Does the Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The insulation material is an internal component specification that does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical interface characteristics. The substitute maintains full compatibility with mating connectors and termination methods.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and does it differ between parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling requirements are identical for both parts.

Q: Are contacts included with either part?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included.
