DF11-8DP-SP1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-8DP-SP1 is an 8-position (2 x 4) shunt connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for shorting jumper applications. This insulated male-pin connector operates at 250V with a 2A current rating and features polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The original part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production and field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-8DP-SP1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 8-position (2 x 4) grid layout
• Connector Type: Insulated shunt connector with male pins
• Electrical Ratings: 250V voltage rating and 2A current rating
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon construction
• Safety Certification: UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part DF11-8DP-SP1(05) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while transitioning from obsolete to active product status. This variant represents the current production equivalent within the Hirose DF11 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-8DP-SP1(05) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete DF11-8DP-SP1. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and safety certifications. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active production.

The DF11-8DP-SP1(05) provides the additional advantage of RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing processes. The transition from non-compliant to compliant status reflects current environmental and supply chain standards without altering the connector's core electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF11-8DP-SP1 and DF11-8DP-SP1(05) physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical 8-position (2 x 4) grid configuration, male pin gender, and polyamide housing dimensions. They are direct mechanical and electrical substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the "(05)" designation?

A: The "(05)" suffix indicates a production variant within the Hirose DF11 series. In this case, it represents the active production version of the connector, replacing the obsolete original part number.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance indicates material composition standards for lead and hazardous substances. The DF11-8DP-SP1(05) meets current regulatory requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance to the original part.

Q: Can the DF11-8DP-SP1(05) be used in existing designs specified for DF11-8DP-SP1?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all specified electrical ratings (250V, 2A), connector configuration (8-position, 2 x 4), housing material (polyamide), and safety certification (UL94 V-0). Direct substitution is appropriate for both new designs and field service applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The DF11-8DP-SP1(05) is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component procurement workflows.
