Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series and Base Product Number: Both parts must belong to the EnerBee™ DF60 series
• Number of Positions: Must remain 4 positions
• Pitch - Mating: Must maintain 0.400" (10.16mm) spacing
• Connector Type: Must be Header configuration
• Contact Type: Must be Male Blade
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Shrouding: Must be Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: Must meet UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS compliance status

The DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) qualifies as a direct substitute, sharing identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and enhanced compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) is the direct equivalent for the obsolete DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26). Both connectors maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and thermal specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) is active and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) is obsolete with RoHS compliance status.

For new designs or component replenishment, the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) is the appropriate selection. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging and maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for the original part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) and DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mounting footprints, through-hole specifications, and mating interface dimensions. PCB layouts designed for the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) accommodate the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) without modification.

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

A: ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard for RoHS compliance. The DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) meets this updated certification, while the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) meets the earlier RoHS standard. Both are compliant with their respective regulatory frameworks.

Q: Can I use the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including operating temperature range, contact finish specifications, and solder termination compatibility. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass fill, while the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent thermal and mechanical performance within the specified operating range.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The DF60-4P-10.16DSA(26) is listed with unspecified packaging, while the DF60-4P-10.16DSA(27) is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.
