Engineering Selection Recommendations

Molex 0511101650 (MFR Recommended Substitute)

The Molex 0511101650 is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the DF11-16DS-2C(20). This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and enhanced availability. The operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 105°C exceeds the original specification, providing extended thermal performance. ROHS3 compliance ensures regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. The polyester glass-filled insulation material provides robust mechanical properties suitable for industrial applications.

TE Connectivity 1-1470107-6 (Parametric Equivalent)

The TE Connectivity 1-1470107-6 serves as a parametric equivalent, maintaining all core connector specifications. This part is actively manufactured and widely available. The operating temperature range of -25°C ~ 85°C aligns with the original specification's upper limit. ROHS3 compliance satisfies current regulatory requirements. The primary distinction is the white housing color versus the original black, which may require consideration in applications where connector color coding is significant. Thermoplastic insulation material provides adequate performance for standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0511101650 directly replace the DF11-16DS-2C(20)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 16 positions, 2.00mm pitch, dual-row configuration, crimp termination, and free-hanging mounting. The Molex part is actively manufactured and maintains full compatibility with existing contact sets and mating connectors designed for the original Hirose housing.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both substitutes maintain core connector specifications. The Molex 0511101650 offers a wider operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and black housing matching the original color. The TE Connectivity 1-1470107-6 features white housing and an operating temperature range of -25°C ~ 85°C. Insulation materials differ: Molex uses polyester glass-filled material, while TE Connectivity uses thermoplastic.

Q: Does the housing color difference affect compatibility?

A: Housing color does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between black (Molex) and white (TE Connectivity) housings depends on application-specific requirements such as visual identification, connector coding schemes, or design aesthetics.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts—the original DF11-16DS-2C(20) and both substitutes—are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with the housing purchase.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: The Molex 0511101650 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is the preferred choice for new designs. It provides the widest operating temperature range and maintains the original black housing color. The TE Connectivity 1-1470107-6 is suitable for applications where the operating temperature range of -25°C ~ 85°C is sufficient and white housing is acceptable.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Molex 0511101650 and TE Connectivity 1-1470107-6 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
