DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) is an 8-position receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for board-to-board or cable applications with through-hole mounting. This connector features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and press-fit/solder termination options. The product is active and widely stocked with 878 units available. Substitute parts are necessary when addressing supply constraints, lead time requirements, or when design specifications allow for alternative connector architectures that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Mating Pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm) — must match exactly
• Number of Positions: 8 positions in 2-row configuration
• Row Spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 250V
• Current Rating: Minimum 2A per contact
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -30°C to 85°C
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute parts listed are header connectors (male pin type) rather than receptacles. These parts are compatible as mating pairs when the DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) receptacle is paired with the corresponding header connector in a board-to-board or cable-to-board assembly. Both substitute parts meet or exceed the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting the regulatory and environmental requirements of the original DF11-8DS-2DSA(06).

B8B-PHDSS(LF)(SN) (JST Sales America Inc.): This substitute maintains full electrical compatibility with a 250V voltage rating and 3A current capacity, exceeding the original part's 2A specification. The operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C covers the upper portion of the original range. This part is suitable for applications where the lower temperature limit of -30°C is not required. Inventory availability is high at 5200 units.

SWR204-NRTN-D04-ST-GA (Sullins Connector Solutions): This substitute meets the mechanical and pitch requirements with 3A per contact current rating. However, the voltage rating of 50V is significantly lower than the original 250V specification and the JST alternative. This part is suitable only for low-voltage applications. Inventory availability is highest at 16100 units.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application voltage requirements. For applications requiring 250V operation, the JST B8B-PHDSS(LF)(SN) is the appropriate choice. For low-voltage applications below 50V, the Sullins SWR204-NRTN-D04-ST-GA offers maximum availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) receptacle be directly replaced with the header connectors listed?

A: No. The DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) is a receptacle (female socket) connector. The substitute parts are header connectors (male pin type). These parts are mating pairs designed to work together in board-to-board or cable-to-board assemblies. If your design currently uses the DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) receptacle, you must also use a compatible male header connector. The listed substitutes are compatible mating partners for this receptacle.

Q: What is the critical difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is voltage rating. The JST B8B-PHDSS(LF)(SN) maintains the 250V rating of the original part, while the Sullins SWR204-NRTN-D04-ST-GA is rated for only 50V. Both meet the 2A minimum current requirement with higher ratings. Select based on your application's voltage requirements.

Q: Are there temperature range differences I should consider?

A: Yes. The original DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) operates from -30°C to 85°C. Both substitute headers operate from -25°C to 85°C, meaning they do not support the lower -30°C limit. If your application requires operation below -25°C, these substitutes are not suitable.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different shrouding?

A: The original DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) shrouding specification is not provided in the data. Both substitute headers feature shrouded 4-wall design, which provides additional mechanical protection and alignment during mating. This is generally beneficial for connector reliability.

Q: What contact finish differences exist?

A: The original DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) has gold-plated mating contacts. Both substitute headers use tin-plated contacts. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability in harsh environments. If your application requires gold plating for reliability or environmental reasons, verify that the receptacle you pair with these headers also uses gold plating for optimal contact performance.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) and both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
