DTF13-4P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DTF13-4P is a rectangular connector header manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This through-hole, right-angle connector features 4 positions arranged in 2 rows with a 0.175" (4.44mm) mating pitch and shrouded 4-wall design. The connector is terminated via solder and incorporates a latch holder fastening mechanism. The DTF13-4P is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and is designated for automotive applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but the original part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints necessitate alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DTF13-4P are identified based on alignment of the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 2
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Style: Board to Cable/Wire
• Insulation Color: Black
• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variations: Substitute parts may differ in mating pitch, insulation material composition, insulation height, contact post length, operating temperature range, ingress protection rating, current rating, voltage rating, and manufacturer identity, provided the core mechanical and electrical interface requirements remain compatible with the application.

The ATF13-4P-BM13 is identified as a substitute based on preservation of the critical connector interface parameters while accommodating different pitch specifications and enhanced environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DTF13-4P and ATF13-4P-BM13 maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for use in regulated applications. The DTF13-4P is the primary specification for automotive applications requiring the 0.175" (4.44mm) mating pitch with polyamide insulation material. The ATF13-4P-BM13 serves as a substitute when the 0.354" (9.00mm) pitch specification is acceptable and when enhanced environmental protection (IP67 rating) and defined operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) are required. The ATF13-4P-BM13 includes a mounting flange feature and specified current (13A) and voltage (250VDC) ratings not provided for the DTF13-4P. Selection between these parts depends on pitch compatibility with the mating connector and environmental performance requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ATF13-4P-BM13 directly replace the DTF13-4P in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to mating pitch differences. The DTF13-4P operates at 0.175" (4.44mm) pitch, while the ATF13-4P-BM13 operates at 0.354" (9.00mm) pitch. The mating connector must be compatible with the substitute part's pitch specification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two connector headers?

A: The primary difference is the mating pitch: DTF13-4P uses 0.175" (4.44mm) spacing, while ATF13-4P-BM13 uses 0.354" (9.00mm) spacing. Secondary differences include insulation material (polyamide versus thermoplastic), insulation height, and the presence of defined environmental ratings and electrical specifications on the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. The DTF13-4P is specified for automotive applications. The ATF13-4P-BM13 supports automotive, general purpose, and industrial applications, making it suitable for automotive use when pitch compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What does the mounting flange feature on the ATF13-4P-BM13 provide?

A: The mounting flange provides additional mechanical stability and positioning during board assembly. This feature is not present on the DTF13-4P.

Q: Do both connectors use the same termination method?

A: Yes. Both the DTF13-4P and ATF13-4P-BM13 use solder termination and are designed for through-hole mounting in right-angle configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the IP67 rating on the ATF13-4P-BM13?

A: The IP67 rating indicates the connector is dust tight and waterproof, providing enhanced ingress protection compared to the DTF13-4P, which does not specify an ingress protection rating. This makes the ATF13-4P-BM13 suitable for applications requiring environmental sealing.

Q: Are the contact post lengths identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature a contact post length of 0.120" (3.05mm), ensuring consistent solder joint depth and board penetration characteristics.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both the DTF13-4P and ATF13-4P-BM13 are ROHS3 compliant. The ATF13-4P-BM13 is REACH unaffected, while the DTF13-4P is REACH affected.
