Original DeWalt replacement connecting rod (part number N579068) — a direct-fit spare listed in DeWalt parts diagrams as the crank/connecting rod used in several breaker/hammer models.

This part is the single connecting-rod assembly that transfers the crank motion to the piston/striker in the tool’s hammer mechanism; it’s the internal link you replace when the striker action is poor or the tool shows internal mechanical wear.

Example compatible models (check your tool’s exact type number before ordering): DCH283 (Type 1), DCH333 (Type 1) and DCH334 (Type 1) — used in the same 3 kg-class demolition/hammer range.

If you need a genuine internal replacement listed by DeWalt, this original DeWalt N579068 connecting rod is the part referenced for those model diagrams — a straightforward swap when matching your model/type. DeWalt parts like this are listed by part number on the tool’s exploded parts sheet so you can confirm fitment before installing.
