• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) provides superior moisture handling compared to the obsolete variant

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-4DS-2C be used as a direct replacement for DF11-4DS-2C(17)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector specifications including pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, and termination method. The substitute is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the obsolete and active versions?

A: The primary difference is production status. The active DF11-4DS-2C includes documented operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), ROHS3 compliance certification, and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), whereas the obsolete variant lacks these specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with the DF11-4DS-2C housing?

A: No. The DF11-4DS-2C is a housing only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What packaging is available for the DF11-4DS-2C?

A: The active substitute is available in bulk packaging with high inventory availability (107,038 pieces in stock).

Q: Does the DF11-4DS-2C meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The active substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
