DF11-2428SCA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-2428SCA is an active rectangular connector socket contact manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This component is a gold-plated crimp socket designed for 24-28 AWG wire gauges within the DF11 series. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the DF11 product line, enabling component interchangeability in applications where specific packaging or contact finish requirements can be accommodated.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF11-2428SCA is determined by the following parameters:

• Series: DF11 (all substitutes must belong to the same series)
• Pin or Socket: Socket (functional role must remain identical)
• Wire Gauge: 24-28 AWG (electrical interface requirement)
• Contact Termination: Crimp (mechanical attachment method)
• Product Status: Active (current manufacturing status)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental tolerance)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (chemical compliance)

Variations permitted in substitutes include contact finish (gold or tin) and packaging format (bulk or cut tape), as these do not affect the core electrical or mechanical interface of the socket contact.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance under ROHS3 and REACH standards. Selection between DF11-2428SCA, DF11-2428SC, and DF11-2428SCFA is determined by application-specific requirements:

DF11-2428SCA and DF11-2428SCFA are functionally equivalent gold-plated socket contacts suitable for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance. The distinction between these two is packaging format: DF11-2428SCA is supplied in bulk, while DF11-2428SCFA is supplied in cut tape format.

DF11-2428SC provides a tin-plated alternative with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Tin plating is suitable for standard industrial applications where gold plating is not required.

All parts share identical wire gauge compatibility (24-28 AWG), crimp termination method, and environmental tolerance ratings (MSL 1, Unlimited).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-2428SC (tin finish) be used in place of DF11-2428SCA (gold finish)?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both are socket contacts within the DF11 series with identical wire gauge (24-28 AWG) and crimp termination. Contact finish selection depends on application corrosion resistance requirements. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance; tin plating is suitable for standard environments.

Q: What is the difference between DF11-2428SCA and DF11-2428SCFA?

A: Both parts are gold-plated DF11 socket contacts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging: DF11-2428SCA is supplied in bulk format, while DF11-2428SCFA is supplied in cut tape (CT) format. Functional performance is identical.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. DF11-2428SCA, DF11-2428SC, and DF11-2428SCFA are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these socket contacts?

A: All three parts are rated for 24-28 AWG wire gauges. This specification is consistent across DF11-2428SCA, DF11-2428SC, and DF11-2428SCFA.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-moisture environments?

A: Yes. All three parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
