Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-12DS-2C(17) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 12 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Row Spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Manufacturer Series: DF11 series

The recommended substitute, DF11-12DS-2C, maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Both components belong to the Hirose DF11 series and share the same pitch, position count, and row configuration. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active and currently manufactured, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-12DS-2C serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete DF11-12DS-2C(17). Selection of this substitute is based on:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, and row configuration ensure direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
• Product Status: The substitute is actively manufactured and supported by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute meets ROHS3 and REACH requirements, satisfying current environmental and regulatory standards.
• Thermal Performance: Both components operate within the same temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), maintaining thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-12DS-2C directly replace DF11-12DS-2C(17) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including pitch (2.00mm), position count (12), row configuration (2 rows), and contact type (female socket, crimp termination). Direct substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The DF11-12DS-2C(17) is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The DF11-12DS-2C is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued availability and support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute?

A: The original part number does not specify packaging details. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement process.

Q: Does the substitute meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The DF11-12DS-2C is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original part's compliance status was not specified.

Q: Are contacts included with the housing?

A: No. The DF11-12DS-2C housing is supplied without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Hirose specifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of the substitute?

A: The substitute has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
