Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DF11E-18DP-2DSA are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (18)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch specification (2.00mm)
• Row spacing (2.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Current rating (2A minimum)
• Voltage rating (250V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C minimum)
• Series compatibility (DF11 series)
• RoHS compliance status

The identified substitute DF11-18DP-2DSA(08) maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, differing only in packaging configuration (Bulk vs. standard packaging) and inventory availability. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same DF11 series and share identical connector specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DF11E-18DP-2DSA and DF11-18DP-2DSA(08) are active production parts manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The DF11-18DP-2DSA(08) offers significantly higher stock availability (7900 units) in bulk packaging, making it suitable for high-volume applications. The DF11E-18DP-2DSA maintains standard packaging with adequate inventory (946 units) for standard procurement cycles. Both parts meet identical performance requirements for 2A/250V applications across the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-18DP-2DSA(08) be used as a direct replacement for DF11E-18DP-2DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Standard). Connector specifications, pin configuration, electrical ratings, and mounting characteristics are identical.

Q: What does the "(08)" designation in DF11-18DP-2DSA(08) indicate?

A: The "(08)" suffix indicates the packaging configuration variant within the DF11 series. This designation does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it specifies the bulk packaging format for this particular part number variant.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage derating considerations between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the -30°C to 85°C temperature range with 2A current capacity and 250V voltage rating. No derating or operational differences exist between the two part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS3 compliance for these connectors?

A: ROHS3 compliance confirms that both parts meet Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive requirements, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. This certification is mandatory for applications in regulated markets and ensures environmental compliance.

Q: Can packaging differences affect PCB assembly or soldering processes?

A: Bulk packaging affects logistics and handling procedures but does not alter the connector's physical dimensions, pin spacing, or soldering characteristics. PCB assembly and soldering processes remain identical regardless of packaging variant.
