Eaton DF4B1 LynxPOWER - IP68 field attachable connector
Part Number: DF4B1
Quick Summary
LynxPOWER DF4B1 field attachable connectors reliably connect DC circuits in industrial automation enclosures. Engineers often face time-consuming field assembly, uncertain cable integrity, and corrosion risk in demanding environments. This model delivers IP68 protection, multiple NEMA ratings (1, 3, 4, 6P, 13), and NEC/CEC IEC compliance to minimize downtime and ensure regulatory alignment. The passive four-pole, male-in-line design with external thread and straight configuration simplifies mating and reduces mis-wiring during installation. With a 4-6 mm (PG7) cable range and 300 Vdc rating at 4 A, it fits common field cabling while supporting rugged washdown areas. This combination enhances maintenance efficiency, lowers lifecycle costs, and aligns with the LynxPOWER ecosystem for scalable control-panel connectivity.

Eaton Specification Sheet - DF4B1
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The four-pole, four-contact arrangement supports multiple signal paths within a single connector, enabling more compact field wiring and reducing panel footprint while improving system reliability. This translates to tangible cost savings through fewer cable runs and simpler terminations in automations cabinets, motor starters, and I/O junctions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit is a passive connector with no active components, minimizing potential failure points and delivering higher mean time between failures (MTBF) in harsh environments, which lowers maintenance costs and downtime for critical process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 4-6 mm (PG7) cable range accommodates common field cables, allowing fast, tool-ready terminations that shorten installation times in tight control panels and remote enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The inline, external-thread, straight configuration provides robust mating and vibration resistance, reducing mis-mating risks during installation and in equipment subjected to shocks or outdoor washdowns. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP68 protection and dedicated NEMA ratings (1, 3, 4, 6P, 13) ensure washdown compatibility and enclosure protection, enabling operation in environments with moisture, dust, and chemical exposure. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 300 Vdc, 4 A ratings support common DC control circuits, sensors, and actuators, delivering reliable power and signal integrity for automation panels and process controllers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The single-key design prevents improper orientation, accelerating plug-in mating and reducing rework in high-volume assembly lines and retrofit projects.

FAQs
DF4B1 is designed for the LynxPOWER field-attachable ecosystem and supports 4-6 mm cables (PG7). Its four-pole, male inline configuration mates with LynxPOWER receptacles and ensures reliable, field-ready terminations in control panels and automation enclosures.
DF4B1 carries IP68 ingress protection, multiple NEMA ratings (1, 3, 4, 6P, 13), and NEC/CEC IEC standards compliance, with ordinary/non-hazardous area classification, ensuring suitability for rugged industrial environments.
Yes. IP68 protection and the associated NEMA ratings support washdown and outdoor use in non-hazardous environments, enabling durable DC connections in process plants, outdoor enclosures, and harsh factories.
The external thread, straight orientation, and single-key design simplify mating, reduce misalignment, and accelerate field assembly, which lowers downtime and training requirements for technicians.
By combining fast field attachment, robust IP68 protection, and standardized IEC/NEC compliance, DF4B1 reduces installation time, minimizes maintenance costs, and improves system reliability across repeated plug/unplug cycles in production environments.
