Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF11-8DS-2C(20) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (8), pitch (2.00mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (2.00mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and color (black). Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. The DF11-8DS-2C represents a manufacturer-recommended equivalent within the same Hirose DF11 series, while the Molex 0511100850 qualifies as a parametric equivalent from an alternative manufacturer, offering identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-8DS-2C (without the (20) suffix) is the primary substitute for the DF11-8DS-2C(20), as it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and significantly higher inventory availability (72,130 pcs vs. 4,718 pcs). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance across markets.

The Molex 0511100850 (Milli-Grid 51110 series) qualifies as a parametric equivalent, matching all critical interface parameters. This part offers an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C versus -30°C ~ 85°C) and uses polyester glass-filled insulation material instead of polyamide nylon. Selection between Hirose and Molex alternatives depends on application thermal requirements and material compatibility specifications. Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and carry active product status, supporting long-term supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF11-8DS-2C be used as a direct replacement for the DF11-8DS-2C(20)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and color. The DF11-8DS-2C is the active production equivalent with higher inventory availability.

Q: What are the key differences between Hirose DF11-8DS-2C and Molex 0511100850?

A: Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements. The Molex part offers a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -30°C to 85°C) and uses polyester glass-filled insulation instead of polyamide nylon. Selection depends on application thermal and material requirements.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The DF11-8DS-2C(20), DF11-8DS-2C, and 0511100850 are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the DF11-8DS-2C(20)?

A: Last Time Buy indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. Existing inventory is limited (4,718 pcs). Transitioning to the active DF11-8DS-2C or Molex 0511100850 is recommended for ongoing supply chain continuity.

Q: Do these parts require specific contact pins?

A: Yes. All three housing parts are specified as contacts not included. Appropriate crimp contacts compatible with 2.00mm pitch must be sourced separately.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity considerations identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
