Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF11C-8DP-2V(57) is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF11C-8DP-2V(53). The substitution is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Base product series: DF11C
• Number of positions: 8
• Mating pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Style: Board to Board or Cable
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening type: Detent Lock

The primary difference between the two parts is the packaging format and product status. The substitute part is actively manufactured and available in standard Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11C-8DP-2V(57) is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete DF11C-8DP-2V(53). Selection is based on the following factors:

• The substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector function: 8-position, 2.00mm pitch, shrouded header with male pins and detent lock fastening.
• The substitute part is actively manufactured and maintained by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting current regulatory requirements.
• The substitute part features a Moisture Sensitivity Level of 1 (Unlimited), providing superior handling flexibility compared to the obsolete part.
• Surface mount termination and Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute part align with modern manufacturing processes and automated assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF11C-8DP-2V(57) be used as a direct replacement for the DF11C-8DP-2V(53)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch, position count, contact type, and fastening mechanism. The primary difference is product status and packaging format. The substitute is actively produced and available in standard Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging designations (53 vs. 57)?

A: The suffix designates the packaging and distribution format. The DF11C-8DP-2V(53) is obsolete and no longer available in standard packaging. The DF11C-8DP-2V(57) is the active production variant supplied in Tape & Reel format for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there any electrical or mechanical incompatibilities between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain the same electrical ratings (2A current, 250V voltage), operating temperature range (-30°C to 85°C), and mechanical interface specifications. They are fully compatible for applications requiring 8-position, 2.00mm pitch board-to-board or cable connections.

Q: What compliance certifications does the substitute part carry?

A: The DF11C-8DP-2V(57) is ROHS3 compliant, carries UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, and is classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The DF11C-8DP-2V(57) is an active production part with full manufacturer support and is appropriate for both replacement applications and new design implementations.
