Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF11-8DS-2DSA(52) is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute alternatives:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series: DF11
• Number of Positions: 8
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 85°C
• Current Rating: 2A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The DF11-8DS-2DSA(06) qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while transitioning from obsolete to active product status. Both parts share the same series designation, position count, pitch geometry, and environmental ratings.
