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distinction is product status: DF11-6DS-2DSA(05) is active and ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original DF11-6DS-2DSA is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.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).
