Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF11-16DS-2V(20) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Receptacle, 16 positions, 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 2A current rating and 250V voltage rating
• Contact Specifications: Female socket, tin-plated mating surface, square contact shape
• Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range -30°C to 85°C, UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) meets all these critical parameters while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete DF11-16DS-2V(20). Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring functional interchangeability in existing designs.

The DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) offers two significant advantages over the original part:

Product Status: The substitute carries Last Time Buy status, providing a defined procurement window for component acquisition, whereas the original is fully obsolete with no guaranteed availability.

Regulatory Compliance: The DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental regulations for new designs and manufacturing processes. The original DF11-16DS-2V(20) is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence.

Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and share identical contact material specifications, insulation properties, and environmental ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and regulatory requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF11-16DS-2V(20) and DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications: 2A current rating, 250V voltage rating, and operate across -30°C to 85°C. They are functionally equivalent for electrical performance.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility considerations?

A: Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications: 16 positions in a 2-row configuration, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, surface mount termination, and identical mated stacking heights of 7.55mm and 8.2mm. They are mechanically interchangeable in existing PCB designs.

Q: Why is the DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) preferred over the DF11-16DS-2V(20)?

A: The DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) is RoHS Compliant and carries Last Time Buy status, providing regulatory compliance and defined procurement availability. The original part is obsolete with no guaranteed supply.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The DF11-16DS-2V(20) packaging is unspecified, while the DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) is supplied in Tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Q: Are there differences in contact material composition?

A: The DF11-16DS-2V(20) uses Brass contacts, while the DF11Z-16DS-2V(20) uses Phosphor Bronze contacts. Both materials are suitable for the specified electrical and environmental parameters. Contact material selection does not affect functional interchangeability for this application category.
