Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF11-6DP-2DSA(08) is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (6) and row configuration (2 rows)
• Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm mating pitch and row spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Detent Lock)

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating minimum 2A
• Voltage rating minimum 250V
• Operating temperature range encompassing -30°C to 85°C

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 compliance
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified design envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DF11-6DP-2DSA(24) (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)

This part is functionally equivalent to the DF11-6DP-2DSA(08), differing only in packaging format (Tube versus Bulk). Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection between these two Hirose variants depends on procurement and inventory management requirements rather than technical performance. The DF11-6DP-2DSA(24) offers higher current inventory availability at 4370 pieces.

SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA (Sullins Connector Solutions)

This part maintains mechanical and dimensional compatibility with the DF11-6DP-2DSA(08) across all critical parameters including pitch, row spacing, shrouding, and fastening mechanism. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. The SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA provides enhanced current capacity at 3A per contact compared to 2A for the Hirose part. However, the voltage rating of the Sullins connector is 50V, which is lower than the 250V rating of the DF11-6DP-2DSA(08). Selection of the SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA requires confirmation that the application voltage requirement does not exceed 50V. The operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C is slightly narrower at the lower end compared to the -30°C specification of the Hirose part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-6DP-2DSA(24) be used as a direct replacement for DF11-6DP-2DSA(08)?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the DF11 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Tube versus Bulk). No design or PCB modifications are required.

Q: What are the voltage limitations when considering the SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA substitute?

A: The SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA is rated for 50V maximum, compared to 250V for the DF11-6DP-2DSA(08). This part is suitable only for applications where the operating voltage does not exceed 50V. Verify application voltage requirements before selection.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the substitute parts?

A: The DF11-6DP-2DSA(08) and DF11-6DP-2DSA(24) both operate from -30°C to 85°C. The SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA operates from -25°C to 85°C, with a 5°C higher minimum temperature limit. Applications requiring operation below -25°C must use the Hirose variants.

Q: What is the current capacity difference between the main part and SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA?

A: The DF11-6DP-2DSA(08) is rated at 2A, while the SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA provides 3A per contact. The higher current rating of the Sullins connector does not create compatibility issues; it represents an enhanced capability for applications requiring higher current handling.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The DF11-6DP-2DSA(08), DF11-6DP-2DSA(24), and SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA are all ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The DF11-6DP-2DSA(08) is supplied in Bulk packaging with 1497 pieces in stock. The DF11-6DP-2DSA(24) is supplied in Tube packaging with 4370 pieces available. The SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA is supplied in Bulk packaging with 2588 pieces in stock. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.
