Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF11G-6DP-2V(50) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (6 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (2.00mm)
• Electrical ratings (2A current, 250V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Detent Lock)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant)

The substitute part DF11-6DP-2V(57) meets all these criteria. The primary difference is packaging format: the main part uses Tube packaging while the substitute uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (DF11) and are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11-6DP-2V(57) is a direct functional equivalent to the DF11G-6DP-2V(50). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the DF11 series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. The substitute part holds Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Last Time Buy status of the original part.

Both parts carry RoHS Compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting equivalent regulatory and safety requirements. The primary distinction is packaging format: Tube versus Tape & Reel. This difference affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact functional performance or physical compatibility in the application.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, inventory management practices, and assembly line automation capabilities. The Tape & Reel format of the substitute part is typically preferred for high-volume automated assembly operations, while Tube packaging may be suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11-6DP-2V(57) be used as a direct replacement for DF11G-6DP-2V(50)?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters. They share identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (6), row configuration (2), current rating (2A), voltage rating (250V), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), and shrouding configuration. Physical dimensions and mating characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tube and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Tube packaging contains loose components in a cylindrical container, suitable for manual handling and lower-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging places components on a continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain the same functional component; the difference is in handling and assembly methodology.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: No. Once the connector is removed from its packaging and placed on the PCB, the component itself is identical. Packaging format only affects the assembly process workflow and equipment compatibility, not the final installed component performance.

Q: Why is the original part marked Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer is discontinuing production. The DF11-6DP-2V(57) in Active status ensures continued availability for future production runs and maintenance requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both DF11G-6DP-2V(50) and DF11-6DP-2V(57) are RoHS Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting equivalent regulatory standards.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. No design modifications are required. The only consideration is whether your assembly process can accommodate Tape & Reel packaging format.
