Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DMNF2-63FIB-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Tab Width: 0.250" (6.35mm)
• Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG
• Gender: Female
• Termination Type: Crimp
• Insulation: Fully Insulated
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Terminal Type: Standard

The substitute part DNF14-250FIB-3K meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier (Panduit Corp), ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. The substitute maintains identical tab width, wire gauge rating, and insulation specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DNF14-250FIB-3K is a direct substitute for the DMNF2-63FIB-C based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 Compliant certification meets current regulatory requirements
• REACH Unaffected status confirms compliance with chemical substance regulations
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications maintain form, fit, and function compatibility
• Higher inventory levels (36,654 pcs vs. 1,062 pcs) provide improved procurement reliability

The minor dimensional variations in overall length (0.840" vs. 0.839") and insulation diameter (0.160" vs. 0.156") fall within acceptable tolerances for quick connect terminal applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DNF14-250FIB-3K be used as a direct replacement for DMNF2-63FIB-C?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical tab width (0.250"), wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), gender (Female), termination type (Crimp), and insulation specifications (Fully Insulated). The substitute maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active), contact material (Electrolytic Copper vs. Brass with Tin finish), and packaging (standard vs. Cut Tape). The substitute offers improved regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) and higher availability.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that affect installation?

A: Overall length differs by 0.001" (0.04mm) and insulation diameter by 0.004" (0.10mm). These variations are within standard manufacturing tolerances for quick connect terminals and do not impact form, fit, or function in typical applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The DNF14-250FIB-3K is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling.

Q: Are both parts compliant with export regulations?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000, indicating standard commercial classification with no export restrictions.
