Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-6DS-2C(20) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.079" spacing)
• Mounting style (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Color (Black)

The Molex 0511100650 satisfies all these requirements and is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF11-6DS-2C(20).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0511100650 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Hirose DF11-6DS-2C(20). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical substitution parameters. The Molex part offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and higher inventory availability (42,568 units in stock versus 732 units for the Hirose part).

The Molex substitute provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C versus -30°C ~ 85°C) and ROHS3 compliance, representing a specification improvement over the original part. Both components maintain MSL 1 rating and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory and logistics compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0511100650 directly replace the Hirose DF11-6DS-2C(20)?

A: Yes. Both housings are 6-position receptacles with 2.00mm pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, and crimp termination. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The Hirose part uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon, while the Molex part uses Polyester with glass filler. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature ranges and provide equivalent performance for this connector class.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the Molex part affect compatibility?

A: No. The Molex part's extended range (-40°C ~ 105°C) encompasses the original specification (-30°C ~ 85°C), ensuring full backward compatibility in all applications within the original operating envelope.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The Hirose part is supplied in standard packaging, while the Molex part is supplied in bulk packaging. Both are suitable for production assembly and component procurement workflows.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact procurement?

A: Yes. Both the DF11-6DS-2C(20) and 0511100650 are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately according to your application requirements.
