DT04-4P-CE03 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DT04-4P-CE03 is a 4-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This receptacle housing is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The connector features a black polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled insulation material, rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C, and includes protective features such as a cap cover, IP68 and IP6K9K sealing ratings, and reduced wire seals. The part is ROHS3 compliant and currently active in production with substantial inventory availability.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support applications where color specifications or manufacturer preferences may differ while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DT04-4P-CE03 are classified into two categories based on parametric equivalence and similarity:

Parametric Equivalent: The DT04-4P-CE01 shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part, including connector type (receptacle), contact type (male pin), number of positions (4), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (latch holder), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), insulation material (polyamide nylon glass-filled), protective features (cap cover, IP68, IP6K9K, reduced wire seals), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). The only difference is housing color (gray versus black). Both parts belong to the DT series base product family and are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors.

Similar Manufacturer Part: The AT04-4P-MM01BLK is manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and matches the main part in connector type (receptacle), contact type (male pin), number of positions (4), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (latch holder), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), housing color (black), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). Differences include insulation material (thermoplastic versus polyamide nylon glass-filled), protective features (sealed versus cap cover with IP68/IP6K9K ratings), and wire gauge specification (14-20AWG). This part represents a cross-manufacturer alternative suitable for applications where Amphenol components are preferred or required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DT04-4P-CE01 Selection: This part is recommended as the primary substitute when the DT04-4P-CE03 is unavailable. It maintains complete parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, including identical operating temperature range, insulation material composition, protective features (IP68, IP6K9K ratings), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). The only distinction is housing color (gray). Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors and belong to the same DT series product family. Selection of DT04-4P-CE01 is appropriate for applications where color specification is not a design constraint or where gray housing is acceptable.

AT04-4P-MM01BLK Selection: This part is recommended as a secondary substitute when cross-manufacturer compatibility is required or when TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors parts are unavailable. The AT04-4P-MM01BLK maintains compatibility in connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, fastening type, operating temperature range, housing color (black), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). Differences in insulation material (thermoplastic versus polyamide nylon glass-filled) and protective feature specification (sealed versus IP68/IP6K9K) must be evaluated against application requirements. The part includes wire gauge specification (14-20AWG), which should be verified for compatibility with intended contact selections. All three parts are active in production and ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT04-4P-CE01 be used as a direct replacement for DT04-4P-CE03?

A: Yes. The DT04-4P-CE01 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is housing color (gray versus black). Both parts share the same connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination method, fastening type, operating temperature range, insulation material, protective features, and compliance certifications.

Q: What are the key differences between DT04-4P-CE03 and AT04-4P-MM01BLK?

A: Both parts share identical connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, fastening type, operating temperature range, housing color, and compliance certifications. Differences include manufacturer (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors versus Amphenol Sine Systems Corp), insulation material (polyamide nylon glass-filled versus thermoplastic), and protective feature specification (cap cover with IP68/IP6K9K ratings versus sealed design). The AT04-4P-MM01BLK includes wire gauge specification (14-20AWG).

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The DT04-4P-CE03, DT04-4P-CE01, and AT04-4P-MM01BLK are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Do these parts include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately.

Q: What is the significance of the IP68 and IP6K9K ratings on DT04-4P-CE03 and DT04-4P-CE01?

A: IP68 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. IP6K9K indicates protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings are specific to the DT04-4P-CE03 and DT04-4P-CE01. The AT04-4P-MM01BLK specifies a sealed design without these specific ratings.

Q: Can color be used as a substitution criterion?

A: Color is not a functional substitution criterion for electrical or mechanical compatibility. The DT04-4P-CE03 (black) and DT04-4P-CE01 (gray) are parametric equivalents. Color selection should be based on application requirements or design specifications rather than electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between "Parametric Equivalent" and "Similar Manufacturer" classifications?

A: A parametric equivalent (DT04-4P-CE01) shares all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with the main part and is manufactured by the same company. A similar manufacturer part (AT04-4P-MM01BLK) is produced by a different manufacturer and may have differences in material composition or protective feature specification while maintaining compatibility in core functional parameters.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-pressure water jet applications?

A: The DT04-4P-CE03 and DT04-4P-CE01 are rated for IP6K9K, indicating suitability for high-pressure water jet exposure. The AT04-4P-MM01BLK specifies a sealed design without this specific rating and should be evaluated separately for such applications.
