Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF60-4S-10.16C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (4)
• Pitch specification (0.400" / 10.16mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Housing color (Black)

The DF60A-4S-10.16C meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct manufacturer substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60A-4S-10.16C is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF60-4S-10.16C. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical connector parameters. The DF60A variant is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1224 pcs vs 924 pcs).

The DF60A-4S-10.16C provides additional compliance documentation including ROHS3 certification and REACH unaffected status. The specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and PBT glass-filled insulation material provide defined performance characteristics for the active variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF60A-4S-10.16C be used as a direct replacement for the DF60-4S-10.16C?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and termination specifications. The DF60A variant is the active production equivalent of the obsolete DF60 model.

Q: What is the difference between DF60-4S-10.16C and DF60A-4S-10.16C?

A: The primary difference is product status. The DF60-4S-10.16C is obsolete, while the DF60A-4S-10.16C is actively manufactured. The DF60A variant includes documented insulation material specification (PBT glass-filled), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and current compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected).

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?

A: The DF60-4S-10.16C packaging is not specified in available documentation. The DF60A-4S-10.16C is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the DF60-4S-10.16C and DF60A-4S-10.16C are housing-only components. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What compliance standards apply to the DF60A-4S-10.16C?

A: The DF60A-4S-10.16C is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.8000.
