Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF11-4DS-2C serves as the direct equivalent to the obsolete DF11-4DS-2C(16). Substitution is based on the following critical parameters that define functional interchangeability:

• Manufacturer: Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring design consistency and quality standards
• Connector Type: Both are receptacle housings with female socket contacts
• Number of Positions: Both accommodate 4 positions
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, ensuring compatibility with mating connectors
• Number of Rows: Both feature 2-row configuration with 0.079" (2.00mm) row spacing
• Mounting Type: Both are free hanging (in-line) configurations
• Contact Termination: Both use crimp termination method
• Base Product Series: Both belong to the DF11 series

The DF11-4DS-2C is the active production equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications, differing only in product status and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-4DS-2C is the appropriate selection for applications currently using the obsolete DF11-4DS-2C(16). This substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.
