Amphenol H4CFN6DC Female Coupler Connector Plus 10 AWG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol H4CFN6DC is a female coupler connector designed for photovoltaic (solar panel) applications within the Helios H4 series. This connector features a Plus keying configuration and supports 10 AWG wire gauge. The H4CFN6DC is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for procurement and system continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure proper integration in solar panel connector assemblies.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the H4CFN6DC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Connector Type: Female Coupler
• Series: Helios H4
• Keying Configuration: Plus
• Wire Gauge: 10 AWG
• Manufacturer: Amphenol Industrial Operations
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Category: Photovoltaic (Solar Panel) Connectors

The substitute part H4CFC6DM satisfies all mandatory criteria. The primary distinction is product status: H4CFN6DC is obsolete while H4CFC6DM is active, making H4CFC6DM the appropriate selection for new procurement and ongoing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Procurement: Select H4CFC6DM. This part is active and maintains full compliance with RoHS regulations and export classifications (EAR99). Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain continuity.

For Existing Systems Using H4CFN6DC: H4CFC6DM provides direct functional equivalence. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Helios H4 series, and carry equivalent compliance certifications. The transition from H4CFN6DC to H4CFC6DM does not require design modification.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts are RoHS Compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8536.69.8000. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can H4CFC6DM directly replace H4CFN6DC in existing solar panel connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are female couplers within the Helios H4 series with Plus keying and 10 AWG wire gauge specifications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all specified parameters.

Q: Why is H4CFN6DC listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer discontinuation. H4CFC6DM is the active equivalent and should be used for all new procurement and system designs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between H4CFN6DC and H4CFC6DM?

A: H4CFN6DC packaging is not specified in available data. H4CFC6DM is supplied in Bag packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both H4CFN6DC and H4CFC6DM are RoHS Compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the connector has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and requires no special handling or storage conditions related to moisture exposure.

Q: Is H4CFC6DM available in sufficient quantity for production?

A: H4CFC6DM inventory is 4989 pieces in stock as new original components, providing adequate supply for production requirements.
