DM2-63-C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DM2-63-C is a 0.250" (6.35mm) Quick Connect Female crimp connector designed for 14-16 AWG wire applications. Manufactured by Panduit Corp as part of the Pan-Term® series, this non-insulated terminal features serrated termination for secure wire attachment. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Tab Width	0.250" (6.35mm)
Tab Thickness	0.032" (0.81mm)
Wire Gauge	14-16 AWG
Gender	Female
Termination Type	Crimp
Insulation	Non-Insulated
Mounting Type	Free Hanging (In-Line)
Features	Serrated Termination

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DM2-63-C has one direct equivalent: D14-250-M. This substitution is valid based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters:

Tab width and thickness are identical (0.250" × 0.032")
Wire gauge compatibility is maintained (14-16 AWG)
Gender, termination method, and mounting configuration are identical
Overall length variance is minimal (0.661" vs 0.660")
Both feature serrated termination for equivalent mechanical performance

The D14-250-M represents the active production equivalent within the Pan-Term® series, with improved material specifications and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The D14-250-M is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete DM2-63-C. Selection of D14-250-M is supported by:

Identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters
Active product status with current manufacturing support
ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
Tin-plated brass contact construction providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to unfinished electrolytic copper
Bulk packaging availability with substantial inventory

For applications requiring the DM2-63-C, transition to D14-250-M maintains full functional compatibility while ensuring access to current supply chain and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D14-250-M directly replace DM2-63-C in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), gender (Female), termination method (Crimp), and mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line). Overall length difference is 0.001" (0.04mm), which is negligible for mechanical fit.

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

A: DM2-63-C uses electrolytic copper with unspecified finish. D14-250-M uses brass with tin plating. Tin plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and oxidation protection, improving long-term reliability in various environmental conditions.

Q: Why is DM2-63-C obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturing discontinuation. D14-250-M represents the current production equivalent within the Pan-Term® series.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: DM2-63-C packaging is not specified. D14-250-M is supplied in bulk packaging with 15,981 pieces available in current inventory.

Q: Does D14-250-M meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. D14-250-M is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component procurement.
