Substitute Categories:

Direct Equivalent (Same Manufacturer): DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) is a direct equivalent from Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the DF11 series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute: SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA from Sullins Connector Solutions provides functional substitution as a header connector with matching 16-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration. This part operates as the mating component (male pin header) to receptacle applications and meets the core electrical and mechanical requirements, though with different connector type classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) is the primary substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part while offering active product status and RoHS3 compliance. The transition from obsolete to active status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.

For Cross-Manufacturer Applications: SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA from Sullins Connector Solutions provides functional compatibility in mating pair applications. This header connector matches the 16-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. However, the voltage rating of 50V is significantly lower than the main part's 250V specification, restricting its use to lower-voltage applications. The operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C) is narrower than the main part, with a higher minimum temperature limit.

Compliance Considerations: Both substitute parts carry RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting modern regulatory requirements. The transition from RoHS non-compliant to RoHS3 compliant status in DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) aligns with current environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) be used as a direct replacement for DF11-16DS-2DSA?

A: Yes. DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 16-position configuration, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row arrangement, 2A current rating, and 250V voltage rating. The primary advantage is active product status and RoHS3 compliance compared to the obsolete, non-compliant main part.

Q: What is the functional difference between the receptacle DF11-16DS-2DSA and the header SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA?

A: The DF11-16DS-2DSA is a receptacle connector with female sockets, while the SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA is a header connector with male pins. These components are designed to mate with each other in board-to-board or cable applications. The receptacle accepts the header's pins.

Q: Is SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA suitable for all applications using DF11-16DS-2DSA?

A: No. While both parts share the same 16-position, 2.00mm pitch configuration, the SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA has a 50V voltage rating compared to the DF11-16DS-2DSA's 250V rating. Applications requiring voltages above 50V must use the DF11-16DS-2DSA or DF11-16DS-2DSA(05). Additionally, the operating temperature minimum of -25°C for the SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA is higher than the -30°C minimum of the main part.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) is supplied in bulk packaging. SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA is also supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are available in new original condition with documented inventory levels.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the main part and its substitutes?

A: Yes. The main part DF11-16DS-2DSA is RoHS non-compliant, while both DF11-16DS-2DSA(05) and SWR204-NRTN-D08-ST-GA are RoHS3 compliant. All three parts are REACH unaffected and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The transition to RoHS3 compliance in the substitutes supports modern regulatory requirements.
