Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF60-1EP-10.16C(15) is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Series: EnerBee™ DF60 (same connector family)
• Connector Type: Plug (housing type)
• Number of Positions: 1 (contact count)
• Contact Type: Blade Pin (electrical interface)
• Number of Rows: 1 (physical layout)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (installation method)
• Contact Termination: Crimp (connection method)
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder (mechanical retention)
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled (material specification)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (thermal compatibility)

The substitute part DF60-1EP-10.16C differs only in color designation (Black vs. Red) and product status (Active vs. Last Time Buy). All electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters remain identical, confirming full functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-1EP-10.16C serves as a direct functional equivalent to the DF60-1EP-10.16C(15). Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For the DF60-1EP-10.16C(15): Use only when red color specification is a design requirement. Current inventory status is 1144 pieces. Product status is Last Time Buy, indicating no future production.

For the DF60-1EP-10.16C: Recommended for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Current inventory status is 1290 pieces. Product status is Active, ensuring continued availability. RoHS3 compliance provides enhanced regulatory alignment compared to RoHS Compliant status.

Both parts meet identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. The choice between them depends on color requirement and long-term supply chain strategy. The Active status of DF60-1EP-10.16C makes it the preferred selection for applications without specific color constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF60-1EP-10.16C be used as a direct replacement for DF60-1EP-10.16C(15)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters. The only differences are color (Black vs. Red) and product status. If color is not a design constraint, DF60-1EP-10.16C is a direct substitute.

Q: What does the "(15)" designation in DF60-1EP-10.16C(15) indicate?

A: The "(15)" suffix indicates the red color variant. The base part number DF60-1EP-10.16C without the suffix refers to the black color variant.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, mounting method, termination type, and fastening mechanism. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 Compliant represents an updated compliance designation. Both statuses indicate conformance to RoHS requirements. ROHS3 reflects current regulatory alignment.

Q: Why is DF60-1EP-10.16C(15) marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific variant. Existing inventory remains available, but no future production is planned. For long-term supply assurance, transition to the Active DF60-1EP-10.16C variant is recommended.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
