Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) qualifies as a direct substitute for the DF11-30DP-2DSA(73) based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Base Product Series: Both parts belong to the DF11 series, ensuring design compatibility within the connector family
• Number of Positions and Rows: Both maintain 30 positions in 2 rows, preserving PCB footprint and contact count
• Mating Pitch: Both use 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical alignment with mating connectors
• Connector Type and Mounting: Both are header-type connectors with through-hole mounting, maintaining installation methodology
• Contact Configuration: Both feature male pin contacts with identical mating and post contact lengths

The primary distinction is product status: the DF11-30DP-2DSA(73) is obsolete, while the DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) is active and readily available in inventory.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete DF11-30DP-2DSA(73). Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status and Availability: The DF11-30DP-2DSA(73) is obsolete with no active manufacturing. The DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) is active with confirmed inventory of 8456 units, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certifications: The DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components. The substitute maintains the same operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), current rating (2A), and voltage rating (250V) as the original part.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 30-position, 2-row configuration; 2.00mm mating pitch; through-hole mounting; and solder termination. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are fully compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will the DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) fit the same PCB footprint as the DF11-30DP-2DSA(73)?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical position count (30), row configuration (2 rows), and mating pitch (2.00mm). PCB footprints are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts specify identical current rating (2A), voltage rating (250V), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging codes (73) versus (08)?

A: The packaging code suffix indicates the specific tape-and-reel or bulk packaging configuration used by the manufacturer. The DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) is supplied in bulk packaging. The functional connector specifications remain identical regardless of packaging code.

Q: Is the DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. The DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

Q: Can I use the DF11-30DP-2DSA(08) in legacy designs originally specified for the DF11-30DP-2DSA(73)?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing mating connectors, PCB layouts, and electrical specifications. No design modifications are required.
