DF11-4DP-SP2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-4DP-SP2 is a 4-position (2 x 2) shunt connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for shorting jumper applications. This insulated male pin connector operates at 250V with a 2A current rating and features a polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-4DP-SP2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (250V) and current rating (2A) must match exactly
• Physical Configuration: 4-position (2 x 2) grid arrangement and male pin gender must be identical
• Connector Type: Insulated shunt connector classification
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon composition
• Safety Certification: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification

The DF11-4DP-SP1(05) meets all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent to the obsolete DF11-4DP-SP2.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-4DP-SP1(05) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete DF11-4DP-SP2. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 4-position configuration, 250V/2A ratings, insulated male pin design, polyamide housing, and UL94 V-0 certification.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The DF11-4DP-SP1(05) is in active production and carries RoHS Compliant certification, whereas the DF11-4DP-SP2 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing system support, the DF11-4DP-SP1(05) is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF11-4DP-SP1(05) directly replace the DF11-4DP-SP2 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters: 4-position (2 x 2) configuration, 250V/2A ratings, insulated male pin design, polyamide housing, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Physical form factor and connector interface are identical.

Q: What is the difference between DF11-4DP-SP2 and DF11-4DP-SP1(05)?

A: The DF11-4DP-SP1(05) is the active production variant of the obsolete DF11-4DP-SP2. The functional specifications are identical. The DF11-4DP-SP1(05) carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the DF11-4DP-SP2 is RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs: DF11-4DP-SP2 is supplied as loose parts, while DF11-4DP-SP1(05) is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts share identical electrical ratings (250V, 2A), connector configuration (4-position, 2 x 2 grid), pin gender (male), housing material (polyamide), and safety certification (UL94 V-0). Substitution is direct.

Q: Why should I use DF11-4DP-SP1(05) instead of DF11-4DP-SP2?

A: The DF11-4DP-SP2 is obsolete and no longer in production. The DF11-4DP-SP1(05) is the active equivalent available from Hirose Electric Co Ltd. For new designs and system maintenance, the active part ensures supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance (RoHS).
