Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF11-30SCA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series: DF11 (same product family)
• Pin or Socket: Socket (identical contact type)
• Contact Termination: Crimp (identical termination method)
• Wire Gauge: 30 AWG (identical conductor size)
• Contact Finish: Gold (identical surface treatment)
• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd (same manufacturer)

The substitute part DF11-30SCFA maintains all these parameters. The primary difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. Both parts are active products with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DF11-30SCA and DF11-30SCFA are active products from Hirose Electric Co Ltd with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The DF11-30SCA is available in bulk packaging with 991 pieces in stock. The DF11-30SCFA is available in cut tape packaging with 12,283 pieces in stock. Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-30SCFA be used as a direct replacement for DF11-30SCA?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts from the DF11 series with identical crimp termination, 30 AWG wire gauge, and gold contact finish. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus cut tape), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Packaging format affects component handling, storage, and assembly processes. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume applications with automated handling systems. Cut tape packaging is suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes. The choice depends on production requirements rather than component functionality.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between DF11-30SCA and DF11-30SCFA?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The DF11-30SCA carries ROHS3 certification, while the DF11-30SCFA carries RoHS certification. Both meet environmental compliance standards. Both parts carry REACH Unaffected or equivalent status and are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these socket contacts have no moisture sensitivity limitations. They can be stored and handled without time-dependent moisture exposure constraints, simplifying inventory management and supply chain logistics.

Q: How should I select between these two parts for my application?

A: Selection should be based on your assembly process and packaging requirements. If your production line uses automated tape-fed systems, the cut tape format (DF11-30SCFA) is appropriate. If your process uses bulk component handling, the bulk format (DF11-30SCA) is appropriate. Both parts deliver identical functional performance.
