DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-board or cable applications. This connector features 16 positions arranged in 2 rows with a 2.00mm pitch and is rated for 2A at 250V. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (16), number of rows (2), mating pitch (2.00mm), row spacing (2.00mm), mounting type (through hole), shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall), and termination method (solder). Acceptable substitutes must maintain compatibility with these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) represents a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer series, differing only in packaging and compliance status. The SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA from Sullins Connector Solutions provides functional equivalence across the same core parameters, though with variations in secondary specifications such as insulation height, operating temperature range, and current rating per contact.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) is the primary substitute for the obsolete DF11-16DP-2DSA(20). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same DF11 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the regulatory limitations of the original part. Inventory availability is significantly higher for the DF11-16DP-2DSA(24), supporting production continuity.

The SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA from Sullins Connector Solutions provides an alternative substitute when DF11 series parts are unavailable. This part maintains core connector geometry and electrical function but operates within a reduced voltage rating of 50V compared to the 250V rating of the DF11 series. The SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA offers higher current capacity at 3A per contact and operates across a slightly narrower temperature range (-25°C to 85°C). This part is also ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application voltage requirements. For applications requiring 250V operation, the DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) is the appropriate choice. For applications operating at 50V or below, the SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA is functionally equivalent and offers enhanced current handling capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) be used as a direct replacement for the DF11-16DP-2DSA(20)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, mounting method, and shrouding. The primary differences are packaging format and compliance status. The DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) is packaged in tube format and meets ROHS3 requirements, while the original part is non-compliant.

Q: What are the voltage limitations when using the SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA as a substitute?

A: The SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA is rated for 50V maximum, compared to 250V for the DF11 series. This part is suitable only for applications operating at 50V or below. Verify application voltage requirements before selection.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between the DF11 and SWR204 series?

A: Both series maintain the same 2.00mm mating pitch, 2-row configuration with 16 positions, and shrouded 4-wall design. Mechanical compatibility is maintained for board-level mounting and mating interface geometry. Verify insulation height and overall connector dimensions for specific PCB layout requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) and DF11-16DP-2DSA(24)?

A: The DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) is supplied in standard packaging, while the DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) is supplied in tube packaging. This difference affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts, DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) and SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA, are ROHS3 compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your application before final part selection.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The DF11-16DP-2DSA(20) and DF11-16DP-2DSA(24) both operate from -30°C to 85°C. The SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA operates from -25°C to 85°C, providing a 5°C reduction in minimum operating temperature. Verify application temperature requirements for critical low-temperature environments.
