Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) is qualified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Both parts feature 24-position configurations
• Pitch - Mating: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing
• Manufacturer: Both are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series Compatibility: The DF11 series designation confirms mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Connector Family: Both belong to the rectangular connector category with compatible form factors

The primary distinction is that DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) is a receptacle connector (female socket) in active production status, whereas DF11Z-24DS-2V(21) is an obsolete header. This substitution addresses supply chain continuity while maintaining functional compatibility within the DF11 connector ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) directly replace DF11Z-24DS-2V(21) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 24-position, 2.00mm pitch specifications within the DF11 series. The primary difference is connector type (receptacle vs. header) and mounting method (surface mount vs. through-hole). System-level compatibility depends on the mating connector configuration in your application.

Q: What is the key difference between these two parts?

A: DF11Z-24DS-2V(21) is an obsolete header connector, while DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) is an active-production receptacle connector with surface mount termination. Both maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through shared pitch and position specifications.

Q: Why is DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) recommended over DF11Z-24DS-2V(21)?

A: DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) is in active production with confirmed inventory, carries RoHS compliance certification, and features improved moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). The obsolete status of DF11Z-24DS-2V(21) creates supply chain risk and limits future availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, optimized for automated assembly processes. Packaging specifications for DF11Z-24DS-2V(21) are not provided in available documentation.

Q: What are the electrical specifications for DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22)?

A: DF11CZ-24DS-2V(22) is rated for 250V maximum voltage and 2A maximum current per contact. Operating temperature range is -30°C to 85°C. Contact finish is tin with 39.4µin (1.00µm) mating surface thickness.
