DF11-14DP-2DS(22) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-14DP-2DS(22) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 14 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing, tin-plated brass contacts, and shrouded 4-wall construction. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent substitute components that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for ongoing production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-14DP-2DS(22) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 14 positions, 2 rows, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and row spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with shrouded 4-wall construction
• Electrical Ratings: 2A current rating and 250V voltage rating
• Contact Material and Finish: Brass contacts with appropriate plating
• Termination Method: Solder termination with detent lock fastening
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and moisture sensitivity level 1

The identified substitutes maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while differing in product status (active vs. obsolete), contact finish composition, and regulatory compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DF11-14DP-2DS(24) and DF11-14DP-2DS(52) are functionally equivalent substitutes for the obsolete DF11-14DP-2DS(22) based on identical mechanical and electrical specifications.

DF11-14DP-2DS(24) is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance with tin-plated contacts and an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This variant maintains the original tin finish specification while offering improved regulatory status and active product availability.

DF11-14DP-2DS(52) is recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance with enhanced contact reliability through gold plating. The gold-plated mating surface provides superior corrosion resistance and contact durability, with the same extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This variant offers the highest inventory availability.

Selection between these substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding contact finish performance and regulatory compliance mandates. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original DF11-14DP-2DS(22).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF11-14DP-2DS(24) and DF11-14DP-2DS(52) directly interchangeable with DF11-14DP-2DS(22)?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain identical connector configuration (14 positions, 2 rows, 2.00mm pitch), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), electrical ratings (2A, 250V), and mechanical interface specifications. The primary differences are contact finish composition and product status.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold contact finishes?

A: The DF11-14DP-2DS(24) features tin-plated contacts, while the DF11-14DP-2DS(52) features gold-plated contacts. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improved contact reliability in demanding environments. Tin plating is suitable for standard applications with adequate environmental protection.

Q: Why does the operating temperature range differ between the original part and substitutes?

A: The DF11-14DP-2DS(22) specifies -30°C to 85°C, while both substitutes specify -40°C to 85°C. The extended lower temperature limit in the substitutes represents an improvement in thermal performance specification and does not indicate incompatibility with the original design.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean for these connectors?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. The original DF11-14DP-2DS(22) is RoHS non-compliant, while both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications with regulatory compliance requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original DF11-14DP-2DS(22) does not specify packaging format. Both substitutes are supplied in tube packaging, which is standard for connector headers and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either substitute is acceptable based on application requirements. DF11-14DP-2DS(52) with gold-plated contacts is recommended for applications requiring maximum contact reliability and corrosion resistance. DF11-14DP-2DS(24) with tin-plated contacts is suitable for cost-optimized applications with standard environmental conditions.
