DMF-10-R-N Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DMF-10-R-N is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Adam Tech, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 10-position connector features a 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch and is rated for 7A at 600VAC. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DMF-10-R-N is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 10 positions in 2 rows
• Mating Pitch: 0.165" (4.20mm) center-to-center spacing
• Mounting Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle configuration
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded with 4-wall construction
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage capacity
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH status
• Flammability Classification: UL94 V-2 rating

The Molex 0039301101 (Mini-Fit Jr 5569 series) meets these substitution criteria as an active, in-stock alternative.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0039301101 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete DMF-10-R-N. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting orientation, and shrouding design. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The primary distinction is product status: the DMF-10-R-N is obsolete, while the Molex 0039301101 is active with 2435 units in current inventory. The Molex part includes board lock features and specifies gold plating on mating contacts (30.0µin / 0.76µm) with tin plating on posts (100.0µin / 2.54µm), compared to tin finish on both mating and post contacts for the Adam Tech part.

Both connectors are suitable for board-to-cable/wire applications in general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications environments. Selection of the Molex substitute ensures long-term component availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0039301101 directly replace the DMF-10-R-N in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share the same mating pitch (0.165" / 4.20mm), position count (10), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and shrouding design (4-wall). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through these matching parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), contact finish specifications (tin vs. gold/tin combination), and the inclusion of board lock features on the Molex part. Both meet UL94 V-2 flammability and ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Are there any row spacing differences between the DMF-10-R-N and the Molex substitute?

A: The DMF-10-R-N specifies row spacing of 0.217" (5.51mm), while the Molex 0039301101 specifies 0.165" (4.20mm). This difference must be evaluated against mating connector specifications in the target application.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The DMF-10-R-N (obsolete) has 976 units in stock. The Molex 0039301101 (active) has 2435 units in current inventory, providing superior long-term availability.

Q: Are both connectors rated for the same electrical specifications?

A: The DMF-10-R-N is rated at 7A and 600VAC. The Molex 0039301101 does not specify current and voltage ratings in the provided data. Electrical rating verification against application requirements is necessary before final selection.
