DMNFR263FIB-KD Quick Connect Female Crimp Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DMNFR263FIB-KD is a 0.250" (6.35mm) Quick Connect Female 14-16 AWG Crimp Connector manufactured by Panduit Corp, part of the Disco™ series. This fully insulated, angled 90° terminal is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications with a butted seam construction. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing maintenance and repair operations where this connector type is specified in existing designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the DMNFR263FIB-KD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Tab Width: 0.250" (6.35mm) — mechanical interface requirement
Tab Thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm) — contact engagement specification
Wire Gauge: 14-16 AWG — conductor size compatibility
Gender: Female — mating interface requirement
Terminal Type: Angled - 90° — orientation and mounting configuration
Insulation: Fully Insulated — electrical safety requirement
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line), Right Angle — application form factor
Termination: Crimp — connection method
Features: Butted Seam — construction specification

The substitute part DNFR14250FIB-KD meets all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts share identical tab dimensions, wire gauge rating, gender, terminal orientation, insulation type, and mounting configuration. The substitute is from the same manufacturer (Panduit Corp) and maintains functional equivalence for applications originally specified with the DMNFR263FIB-KD.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DNFR14250FIB-KD is the direct substitute for the obsolete DMNFR263FIB-KD. Selection of the substitute is based on the following factors:

Product Status: The DNFR14250FIB-KD maintains Active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability, whereas the original part is Obsolete.
Compliance: The substitute carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.
Mechanical Compatibility: All critical dimensional parameters (tab width, tab thickness) and electrical specifications (wire gauge, insulation type) are identical between the main part and substitute.
Availability: The substitute has significantly higher inventory (13,997 Pcs) compared to the main part (853 Pcs), supporting production and repair requirements.
Manufacturer Continuity: Both parts are manufactured by Panduit Corp, ensuring consistent quality and performance standards.

For applications currently using DMNFR263FIB-KD, transition to DNFR14250FIB-KD is supported without design modification or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DNFR14250FIB-KD be used as a direct replacement for DMNFR263FIB-KD?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical tab width (0.250"), tab thickness (0.032"), wire gauge rating (14-16 AWG), gender (Female), terminal type (Angled - 90°), insulation type (Fully Insulated), and mounting configuration (Free Hanging, Right Angle). The substitute meets all mechanical and electrical requirements for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and series designation. DMNFR263FIB-KD is Obsolete and part of the Disco™ series, while DNFR14250FIB-KD is Active and part of the Pan-Term® and ReelSmart™ series. The substitute includes additional compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected) and improved packaging (Cut Tape format).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for the specified parameters. Both parts are fully insulated 0.250" quick connect female crimp connectors rated for 14-16 AWG wire. The mechanical interface, electrical performance, and application requirements are identical.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: DNFR14250FIB-KD is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly and component handling.

Q: Does the substitute meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. DNFR14250FIB-KD is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
