Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-4DS-2C(80) is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Manufacturer Series: DF11 series (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)
• Number of Positions: 4-position configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) contact spacing
• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Contact Type: Female socket contacts
• Number of Rows: 2-row arrangement
• Row Spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp termination method

The recommended substitute part DF11-4DS-2C maintains all these parameters while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-4DS-2C is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF11-4DS-2C(80). Selection is based on the following factors:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains active product status with Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.
• Regulatory Compliance: The DF11-4DS-2C carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical parameters—pitch, number of positions, contact type, and termination method—are identical between the obsolete and active parts.
• Moisture Sensitivity: The substitute part carries MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating superior moisture handling characteristics compared to the obsolete designation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes DF11-4DS-2C a direct substitute for DF11-4DS-2C(80)?

A: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 4-position receptacle housing, 2.00mm pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, and crimp termination. The primary difference is product status—the substitute is active while the original is obsolete.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when replacing DF11-4DS-2C(80) with DF11-4DS-2C?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The substitute part meets current regulatory standards (ROHS3, REACH unaffected) and offers improved moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating difference?

A: The obsolete part carries MSL "Not Applicable," while the substitute carries MSL 1 (unlimited). MSL 1 indicates the component can be stored indefinitely without moisture absorption concerns, providing better shelf-life management.

Q: Does the packaging format affect substitution?

A: The obsolete part packaging is unspecified, while the substitute is available in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for connector housings and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the original and substitute parts are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Hirose specifications.
