Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DV14-205B-C is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Wire gauge compatibility: 14-16 AWG
• Tab width specification: 0.187" (4.75mm), 0.205" (5.21mm)
• Tab thickness: 0.032" (0.81mm)
• Gender: Female
• Termination method: Crimp
• Insulation configuration: Non-Mating End Insulated
• Contact material and finish: Brass with Tin plating
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The DNF14-205-C meets all critical substitution criteria. Variations in overall length, insulation diameter, and termination feature design (butted seam versus serrated termination) do not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DV14-205B-C and DNF14-205-C are obsolete products within the Pan-Term® series. Selection between these parts should be based on current inventory availability and application-specific requirements regarding overall connector length and insulation diameter tolerance.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are unaffected by REACH regulations. The DNF14-205-C features serrated termination, while the DV14-205B-C uses butted seam construction. This design difference does not affect electrical performance for applications within the specified wire gauge range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DNF14-205-C be used as a direct replacement for DV14-205B-C?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical wire gauge (14-16 AWG), tab width (0.187" / 0.205"), tab thickness (0.032"), gender (Female), termination method (Crimp), insulation configuration (Non-Mating End Insulated), and contact specifications (Brass with Tin finish). The 0.016" difference in overall length and 0.008" difference in insulation diameter do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the termination feature difference (butted seam versus serrated)?

A: Both termination features provide secure crimp connections within the specified wire gauge range. The design variation does not impact electrical performance or mechanical reliability for the intended application parameters.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Both DV14-205B-C and DNF14-205-C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. However, both are classified as obsolete products. Verification of long-term availability is recommended for new designs.

Q: What packaging is available for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Current inventory levels are 1288 pcs for DV14-205B-C and 1088 pcs for DNF14-205-C.
