Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-6DP-2DS(22) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Type: All substitutes must be DF11 series headers with identical male pin contact type
• Position & Row Configuration: 6 positions in 2-row arrangement is mandatory
• Pitch Specifications: Mating pitch and row spacing must both be 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with shrouded 4-wall design and detent lock fastening
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 2A and voltage rating of 250V must be maintained
• Termination Method: Solder termination is required

The identified substitutes DF11-6DP-2DS(24) and DF11-6DP-2DS(52) maintain all these core parameters. Variations between parts are limited to contact finish specifications and product status, which do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility in the connector interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DF11-6DP-2DS(24) is the primary substitute for the obsolete DF11-6DP-2DS(22). Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications with equivalent tin contact finish. The DF11-6DP-2DS(24) is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, providing regulatory alignment for new designs. Operating temperature range extends to -40°C, offering improved low-temperature performance compared to the original part's -30°C minimum.

DF11-6DP-2DS(52) is the manufacturer-recommended alternative, featuring gold contact finish on the mating surface. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in applications subject to environmental exposure or extended storage periods. This variant also maintains active production status and ROHS3 compliance. The gold contact finish represents the only functional difference from DF11-6DP-2DS(24), with selection dependent on application requirements for contact durability and environmental performance.

Both substitutes are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original part across all critical interface parameters. Selection between DF11-6DP-2DS(24) and DF11-6DP-2DS(52) should be based on contact finish requirements and environmental operating conditions specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF11-6DP-2DS(24) and DF11-6DP-2DS(52) fully compatible with DF11-6DP-2DS(22) in existing designs?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings. The connector interface is fully compatible. The primary difference is product status and contact finish, which do not affect mechanical or electrical mating characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between tin and gold?

A: Tin contact finish is standard for general-purpose applications with typical environmental exposure. Gold contact finish provides superior corrosion resistance and is preferred for applications involving high humidity, salt spray environments, or extended storage periods. Both finishes maintain equivalent electrical conductivity and current-carrying capacity at the specified 2A rating.

Q: Why does DF11-6DP-2DS(52) have a lower contact finish thickness specification than DF11-6DP-2DS(24)?

A: Gold plating thickness is specified at 8.00µin (0.203µm) for DF11-6DP-2DS(52), while tin plating on DF11-6DP-2DS(24) is 39.4µin (1.00µm). This difference reflects the distinct material properties and application requirements of each finish type. Both thicknesses are engineered to provide adequate protection and electrical performance for their respective contact systems.

Q: What is the impact of the extended operating temperature range on DF11-6DP-2DS(24) and DF11-6DP-2DS(52)?

A: Both substitute parts operate from -40°C to 85°C, compared to the original part's -30°C to 85°C range. This extended low-temperature capability provides additional design margin for applications in cold environments or equipment subject to thermal cycling. The upper temperature limit remains unchanged at 85°C.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: DF11-6DP-2DS(22) packaging information is not specified in the provided data. Both DF11-6DP-2DS(24) and DF11-6DP-2DS(52) are supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before finalizing part selection.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS3 compliance on the substitute parts?

A: DF11-6DP-2DS(24) and DF11-6DP-2DS(52) are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The original DF11-6DP-2DS(22) is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute parts provide regulatory alignment and future supply chain compatibility.
