DF11-6DS-2DSA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-6DS-2DSA is a 6-position receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for board-to-board or cable applications with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing. This connector features through-hole mounting, press-fit and solder termination options, and is rated for 2A at 250V. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF11-6DS-2DSA is determined by the following critical parameters:

Direct Equivalent (Same Connector Type):

DF11-6DS-2DSA(05): Identical receptacle connector from the same manufacturer and series, differing only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging format (tray vs. bulk).

Functional Equivalents (Complementary Connector Types):

1470109-6 (TE Connectivity): Header connector with matching 6-position, 2.00mm pitch, and through-hole mounting. Operates as the mating component to receptacle connectors.
SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA (Sullins Connector Solutions): Header connector with matching 6-position, 2.00mm pitch, and through-hole mounting. Operates as the mating component to receptacle connectors.

The header connectors (1470109-6 and SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA) are not direct replacements for the receptacle but serve as compatible mating partners in board-to-board or cable interconnect applications where the DF11-6DS-2DSA receptacle is used.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Receptacle Replacement: DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) is the recommended direct equivalent. Both parts are from the Hirose DF11 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) is active and ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original DF11-6DS-2DSA is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Selection of DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) ensures regulatory compliance and long-term availability.

For Mating Header Selection: When a complementary header connector is required, both 1470109-6 and SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA provide compatible 6-position, 2.00mm pitch through-hole headers. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance. The 1470109-6 offers higher voltage rating (100VDC vs. 50V), while both provide 3A current rating, exceeding the receptacle's 2A specification. Selection depends on voltage requirements and packaging availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) be used as a direct replacement for DF11-6DS-2DSA? A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, including 6-position, 2.00mm pitch, 2A current rating, and 250V voltage rating. DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are the header connectors (1470109-6 and SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA) direct replacements for the receptacle? A: No. These are complementary mating connectors, not direct replacements. The receptacle DF11-6DS-2DSA accepts male pins from header connectors. Use these headers when designing the mating side of a board-to-board or cable interconnect.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for substitution? A: Pitch spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), number of positions (6), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting type (through-hole) must match. Voltage and current ratings of substitutes must meet or exceed application requirements.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this selection? A: DF11-6DS-2DSA is RoHS non-compliant, while DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) and the header alternatives are ROHS3 compliant. Regulatory requirements in many markets mandate RoHS compliance for new designs and procurement.

Q: What is the difference between friction lock and detent lock fastening? A: Friction lock (DF11 series) relies on mechanical friction to secure mated connectors. Detent lock (header alternatives) uses positive mechanical engagement. Both provide secure connections; selection depends on application requirements and existing design specifications.

Q: Can I use a lower voltage-rated header with the DF11-6DS-2DSA receptacle? A: Application voltage requirements determine suitability. The receptacle is rated 250V; mating headers must support the actual circuit voltage. SWR204-NRTN-D03-ST-GA (50V) is suitable for circuits operating at 50V or below. For higher voltages, use 1470109-6 (100VDC).
