Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF11Z-32DP-2V(21) can be substituted with the DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) based on the following critical parameters that remain identical between both parts:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 32
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Detent Lock
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Current Rating: 2A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Operating Temperature: -30°C ~ 85°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Mated Stacking Heights: 8.2mm, 8.45mm, 9.55mm

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is the product status transition from obsolete to active, along with packaging format and minor cosmetic differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete DF11Z-32DP-2V(21). All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing designs. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability
• RoHS compliance certification
• Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes
• Equivalent electrical performance across all rated parameters

The transition from natural to beige insulation color and the addition of Pick and Place features in the substitute part do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts maintain identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, and mating characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the DF11Z-32DP-2V(21) and DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (2A current, 250V voltage), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C), and contact materials (brass with tin finish). They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: Will the DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) fit in existing PCB designs for the DF11Z-32DP-2V(21)?

A: Yes. Both connectors have identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (2.00mm), row spacing (2.00mm), insulation height (7.19mm), and mated stacking heights (8.2mm, 8.45mm, 9.55mm). They are mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: The DF11Z-32DP-2V(21) has unspecified packaging, while the DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Does the insulation color change affect performance?

A: No. The change from natural to beige insulation color is cosmetic and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional characteristics.

Q: Is the DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) is RoHS compliant, whereas RoHS status for the DF11Z-32DP-2V(21) is not specified.

Q: Why is the DF11Z-32DP-2V(21) marked as obsolete?

A: The DF11Z-32DP-2V(21) has been superseded by the DF11CZ-32DP-2V(27) in the manufacturer's product line. The substitute part offers improved packaging and compliance certifications while maintaining full functional equivalence.
